PSRC has decided that all students PreK-8th grade return starting Monday, April 12, 2021, Monday thru Thursday and work remotely on Fridays. Plan A instated by Governor Cooper. This week March 29-April 2 will only be A week students. Students working full time virtually may continue logging on LIVE from home via Google Meet and doing work in Google Classroom (K-2) or Canvas (3rd) with their child’s classroom schedule. If full time virtual students decide to return to the school campus, they may do so but should contact their child’s teacher ASAP, by April 12. If students attending on either A or B weeks decide to change to full time virtual learning, they may but must let teachers know ASAP, by April 12. Starting April 12, students will be marked absent if they do not come to school in-person, unless they are FULLY virtual. There is not a part-time virtual option. Your patience is greatly appreciated as we transition to Plan A. We have everyone’s safety in mind in everything we do. Arrival and Dismissal will continue to be by bus, van, and/or car. No parking or walking children up please, and parents should stay in their vehicles. Families should expect longer wait times at arrival and dismissal in the car lane. Bus routes will be longer too as we combine the A and B week routes. Most times will vary by 20 minutes. We will contact you if your time will be much earlier or later. We are excited to have all students together again.
