Elementary students (grades P-5) should log in with their teachers at 9 a.m. Thursday and complete “DCPS@Home Day 4” assignments in their packets; and log in at 9 a.m. Friday and complete “DCPS@Home Day 5” assignments. These assignments are also posted on the website linked above. Middle and high school class schedules are also included on the website linked above.
According to an announcement from DCPS Superintendent Matt Robbins, “The decision to implement these DCPS@Home days is based on the forecast of inclement weather and potentially hazardous travel conditions, as well as the community rate of COVID-19, which has made it difficult for us to provide operational bus transportation and in-person classroom instruction.”
Because of anticipated road/travel conditions, DCPS will not serve curbside meals on Thursday.
“At this time, we anticipate a return to in-person teaching and learning on Monday, Jan. 24,” Robbins said. “We appreciate the cooperation and support of our families in continuing the success of the DCPS@Home option, which allows students to continue learning without disruption.”
