Warren County Public Schools announces virtual school days for next week

Chris Ballenger, Ed. D.,  WCPS Superintendent has announced that Warren County Public Schools will use Monday, December 21, 2020, and Tuesday, December 22, 2020, as countywide virtual days.

There is a need to ensure that all students have access to instructional materials at home, teachers are able to provide relevant and engaging lessons, and that our system will be able to support the internet traffic that will access our technical infrastructure when all of our students and teachers are online.

As a division, we have worked diligently to ensure that we have everything in place for a smoother transition into remote learning than what was experienced in March 2020 with the sudden school closure. Despite all of our efforts, problems with technology can and will occur. The virtual days will allow WCPS to test the system and ensure continuity of learning if faced with a prolonged closure.

On Friday, December 18, 2020, the Food Service Department will send food home with elementary students for breakfast and lunch for Monday, December 21, and Tuesday, December 22. For all middle and high school students, meal pick-up for the two virtual days will be available at Warren County Middle School on Monday, December 21, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Teachers and school administrators will work through virtual plans with students as schools head into winter break. The in-person instruction schedule will resume on January 4, 2021.
