Principals at two Horry County Schools sent letters to parents on Friday saying that students in groups A and G will not be attending in-person school this coming Monday and Tuesday, but using virtual instruction. "As a result of staffing shortages due to teacher quarantines and an inability to provide face-to-face instruction for students in socially-distanced settings, North Myrtle Beach Middle School students in Groups A and G will be placed on the distance learning model for Monday, December 21 and Tuesday, December 22," said NMBMS Principal James LaPier in an email to parents obtained by My Horry News. The email goes on to say that students will follow their full virtual day as all HCS students do on Friday, and that their teachers and staff are prepared for virtual meetings and instruction to support those A and G group students.Â
