Wake County middle and high schoolers returning to classroom this week
More students in the Wake County Public School System will return to the classroom this week on a regular basis.
Posted — UpdatedFor middle and high school students, this will be the first week they are in school full-time since the COVID-19 pandemic started. This also means more students will be in the classroom at the same time.
The upcoming return to classroom schedule for the county is as follows:
- Monday, April 5 - For schools on modified calendars, early colleges, leadership academies and Knightdale High School
- Thursday, April 8 - For schools on the traditional calendar
- Wednesday, April 14 - For single-track calendar year-round schools
Under plan A masks are required, but social distancing is not. WRAL has reached out to the district to get a number on how many students will return to full time in person learning.
The plan also moves up a teacher and staff workdays to April to prepare for Plan A, except at year-round single-track schools and Wake STEM Early College. Workdays will be moved from May 13 to April 7 for traditional calendar schools, June 15 to April 1 for modified calendar schools and May 13 to April 1 for leadership academics, college and career academies, Knightdale High School and Wake Early College of Health & Science.
The approved plan changes the district’s instruction protocol to Plan A (minimal social distancing) for 6th through 12th grades – the only ones not operating under Plan A in the district.
