Below is important information regarding Alexander County Schools' response to Governor Cooper’s recent announcement regarding the ability to open schools under the Plan A option of in-person instruction for all PreK through 5th-grade students effective October 5. As promised, we have been thoughtful and intentional with our plans thus far and will continue to be as we draft these new plans.
Elementary students will not return to school at full capacity on Monday (October 5). The governor's order stated that schools could start back on October 5 or when school districts are fully ready - we are not there yet. A staff survey was completed, and the results can be found on our district website and social media sites. The parent survey is currently being conducted and is available to complete through Monday, October 5, at 9 AM.Data will be analyzed and shared next week. Dr. Hefner and health department officials will meet to discuss the data and COVID-19 metrics within the county as they prepare a recommendation for the board of education which will be presented at the meeting on Tuesday, October 13. The earliest anticipated possible start date for elementary students at full capacity would be October 19. We encourage you to tune in to the board of education meeting on our YouTube channel. A link will be posted on our district website and social media after 3 PM on October 13. The school board meeting begins at 6 PM.
Thank you for your continued support and patience, as this decision is made. As always, our students' and staff's safety and well-being will be at the forefront of this decision.
