Return to Learn: Resuming Instruction Safely
On June 9, 2020, Governor Ralph Northam announced a phased reopening of K-12 schools in the Commonwealth, which gradually permits in-person instruction to resume while prioritizing the health and safety of students and staff. To minimize the disparate impacts closures have had on students, this approach prioritizes the needs of students who have been most impacted by school building closures.
It simultaneously recognizes the disruption closures have had on all students and seeks to bring them back to the classroom as soon as it is safe and practicable.
With this guidance, Prince George County Public Schools has begun work to welcome our students back to class in a manner that reflects the guidelines set forth by state health officials to protect our children, their families, and our faculty and staff.
On June 1, the superintendent presented possible scenarios for PGCPS’ ‘Return to Learn’ for Fall 2020. The details of that presentation can be viewed in the ‘RESOURCES’ Panel of our ‘Return to Learn’ page or by clicking HERE.
Before PGCPS can resume in-classroom instruction as part of Phase II or Phase III of Virginia's Return to School Plan, the school district was required to submit a plan to the Virginia Department of Education that outlines our strategies for mitigating public health risk of COVID-19 and complying with CDC and VDH recommendations. That plan was submitted to VDOE on June 17.
PGCPS' Health Mitigation Plan can be viewed in the 'RESOURCES' panel of our 'Return to Learn' page or by clicking HERE.
Additionally, as the 2020-2021 School Year approaches, PGCPS will also submit a plan to the VDOE for providing new instruction to our students in the 2020-2021 academic year, including in-classroom, blended education (comprised of in-classroom and virtual/remote instruction), and virtual/remote instruction.
A well-developed plan is only possible with the valuable feedback of our parents and community whose input will help shape how PGCPS resumes instruction in a manner that continues to provide quality education to all of our students in-person or remotely while protecting the health and safety of our children, their families, and the community.
Over the next several weeks, surveys will go out requesting feedback on several topics, with the responses helping to shape how we can begin welcoming children back to class in a safe manner.
Use the 'RESOURCES' panel to learn more about PGCPS' efforts to 'Return to Learn' and Virginia's Return to School Plan published by the Virginia Department of Education, along with information from our partners at the Virginia Department of Health and Centers for Disease Control regarding COVID-19.
Online Learning Resources
To ensure students can continue learning during school closures, we are providing resources to maintain skills and reinforce previously taught content. These assignments will not be graded but we highly encourage you to have your child complete some activities to help students maintain mastery.
We want students to stay engaged with the curriculum that they have been working on to date.
