We are excited to share some news that will make navigating our district and school websites easier and more helpful!
We’re adding AlwaysOn, a new AI-powered chatbot, to all of Arlington’s district and school websites. You might recognize our virtual guide—it’s Admiral Al from Arlington High School, and he’s now broadening his responsibilities to serve as the District’s official virtual website guide!
AlwaysOn is designed to bring you 24/7 multilingual support. This new virtual assistant allows you to ask questions and get immediate answers about programs, enrollment, events, and services, right when you need them. Whether you're looking for an event schedule or enrollment information, Admiral Al is there to help instantly.
This new addition is all about making communication more accessible and engaging for everyone we serve. Here’s what AlwaysOn offers:
24/7 Answers: Get immediate answers to your questions about programs, enrollment, events, and services—any time of day or night.
Multilingual Support: Interact with the chatbot in your preferred language, significantly improving accessibility and inclusivity.
Better Service: If Admiral Al cannot answer your question immediately, you can send an email directly from the website and get a response the next business day.
Community Insights: The tool helps the district better understand and respond to community needs through real-time insights into what questions are being asked most frequently.
This tool is an important step in ensuring every family and community member feels supported whenever they visit our sites, day or night, and in any language. We look forward to this new chapter of enhanced accessibility and look forward to hearing your feedback as you connect with Admiral Al!
