Warren County Public Schools send letter to parents concerning COVID-19

To Our Warren County Public Schools Community:

The health and safety of our students and staff is of the utmost importance. The COVID-19 situation is dynamic and changing daily. We are consulting with the Virginia Department of Education,
Virginia Department of Health, and Lord Fairfax District Health Department. We will continue to provide updated communications that keep our students and families informed. Thank you for partnering with us as we navigate our way through this uncertain time.

Warren County Public Schools will:

• Communicate regularly with students, families, staff, and the larger school community.

• Practice routine cleaning and disinfecting procedures of commonly touched surfaces in schools
and on buses.

• Actively engage in planning for the possibility of extended school closures.

Building principals will be sending an approved letter to students and families this evening with information concerning alternate plans for instruction in the event we would need to close schools. All announcements regarding school closures will be communicated through local media, Warren County Public Schools website, and the School Messenger system.

At this time, we will continue to allow day field trips to surrounding counties. All sports activities in our region will continue as scheduled. The school division will continue to provide guidance via the Warren County Public Schools website.

The best place to find up-to-date information about COVID-19 is the Virginia Department of Health website. The Department of Health has also established a call center to address questions from the public.

Sincerely,

Melody Sheppard
Interim Superintendent
