Re-entry planning and Watauga Virtual Academy Information
Watauga County Schools has developed a re-entry planning guidebook for parents, staff and community members to help address questions about the opening and operation of schools this fall. On Monday, Sept. 21, the Watauga County Board of Education voted unanimously to implement a plan that will reopen in-person learning in Watauga County Schools in grades K-3. Beginning Oct. 5, Kindergarten through third grade students will be able to return to school in-person on the 2x3 Plan B Flex Schedule.
In our WCS Re-entry Planning Guide for the 2020-2021 School Year, you’ll find information, expectations and policies specific to Watauga County Schools.
