A reminder for GCPS families… Tuesday, Jan. 26, is a scheduled Digital Learning Day (DLD) for all students. This is the first of four at-home asynchronous learning days this semester that will provide additional planning time for teachers. (Note that students will access lessons in eCLASS but will not have virtual class time with their teachers on these scheduled DLDs.)
On scheduled DLDs, meals will be available for curbside pick-up at schools, and, the district will deliver meals along all bus routes countywide. Families should expect buses to run their routes from approximately 10:45 a.m. to noon, beginning at the first stops on the route.
On Monday, Jan. 25, the school district resumed in-person instruction for students whose families selected that option. Following this districtwide digital learning day on Jan. 26, students will return to their selected instructional preference (in-person or digital) for the remainder of the week. All in-person learners transitioned to digital instruction for the week of Jan. 19-22 due to staffing issues tied to ill and quarantined employees and a substitute shortage.
An important reminder for students who are attending in-person classes and all staff members
Stay home from school or work if you…
are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms;
have tested positive or been diagnosed with COVID;
are awaiting test results; or
have been in close contact in the last 14 days with someone diagnosed with COVID or someone with COVID symptoms who is waiting for test results.
It’s important that we all do our part to keep ourselves and others healthy. Remember to follow these four important steps… social distancing when feasible, wearing a mask that covers nose and mouth, washing your hands, and staying home if you do not feel well or have been exposed to illness.
Be smart. Be safe. Be responsible.
