The remainder of Prince William County’s public school children who haven’t set foot in a classroom in nearly a year may do so later this month.
In a 5-3 vote early this morning, the School Board affirmed its plan outlined on January 12 to return children in grades 4 through 12 to the classroom for the first time since March 12, 2020.
Students in grades 4, 5, and 6 will return on February 25 and 26, in alternating groups, four days a week. Students in grades 7 through 12 will return on March 2 and 3 and will also attend in-person classes four days a week.
Students will continue to learn virtually from home on Mondays. Students in pre-kindergarten through third grade began returning to classrooms in early December.
