Warren County Public Schools reboots next week

Chris Ballenger, Ed.D., Superintendent of Warren County Public Schools issued a notice to parents today, October 9, 2020:

Warren County Public Schools wants to inform all secondary (6-12) parents that next week will be a catch-up week intended to assist students in the current hybrid learning environment. We understand that the first four weeks have been challenging for many students, parents, and teachers. We want to give our students the opportunity to complete missing assignments and to work with teachers for understanding and how to manage their time as independent virtual learners.

The reboot week will be used to assist students and to address the struggles students are experiencing in the virtual learning environment; it is not a week off of school. Students are expected to attend class on their designated in-person day and to also attend teacher-led virtual remediation classes. Our teachers will also be talking to students about time management strategies.

Some courses at the high school level will continue as directed by the College Board or Lord Fairfax Community College. All Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Enrolled (DE) courses will continue as required by the accrediting agency. AP /DE classes are college-level courses and instructors must ensure that they are on track to meet all requirements established by the accrediting agency.

If additional support is needed, parents can reach out to their child’s school principal for support. School principals will work with parents and students to help meet student learning needs.
