WCPS Superintendent Christopher Ballenger summarized the increase in the in-person days for Warren County students effective March 15, 2021, in the following release.

Warren County Public Schools will increase the in-person days for our middle and high school students starting on March 15, 2021.  Students will attend school four days per week with Wednesdays being a remote learning day for all Pre-K – 12 students.  Teachers will continue to support online learning with face-to-face (synchronous) instruction or through recorded or other learning modes of instruction (asynchronous).

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
PreK-12 PreK-12 Remote Learning for All Students PreK-12 PreK-12

A student’s designation, as either virtual or in-person, will be locked until April 6, 2021.  Students or parents will not be able to request a change from virtual instruction to in-person instruction during this time.  Middle and high schools will be sending additional information out concerning the date for students to select their preferred choice of in-person or virtual learning.

To allow for the additional instructional days for middle and high school students, a start and end time change will go into effect for A. S. Rhodes Elementary starting March 1, 2021, and E. Wilson Morrison starting March 15, 2021.  This time change is necessary to accommodate the increased transportation needs.  Starting March 1, 2021, A. S. Rhodes will start at 8:00 a.m. and end at 1:30 p.m.  On March 15, 2021, E. Wilson Morrison will start at 8:00 a.m. and end at 1:30 p.m.

Parents will be receiving information from the schools concerning these changes.  Please reach out to your child’s principal if you have any additional concerns.
