CLINTON — Late Monday, Clinton schools Superintendent Curt Nettles announced plans for the second semester of the 2020-21 school year.
Full remote learning will continue through Dec. 18.
In-person instruction is planned to return on Jan. 4, however, the district will monitor the number of COVID-19 cases in the county and community.
“We will especially be monitoring cases of COVID or illness among our students and staff over the next few weeks,” said Nettles in a memo to parents. “If we feel that there is too great a risk in starting Jan. 4, we will communicate a new starting date.”
Second semester schedules will remain the same at each building as they did during first semester with dismissal at 1:30 p.m. daily. Safety protocols will also remain unchanged.
The district will continue to provide its third-party vendor for second semester remote learners, however Nettles asked parents who wish to continue remote learning to contact their school office by Friday, Dec. 11. Those wishing to switch to in-person learning and those wishing to switch to remote learning also need to contact their school by Friday. Remote learning for second semester will begin Monday, Jan. 11.
Students will not be allowed to move from the type of learning chosen during second semester. Nettles recommended parents uncertain about which method to choose for their child should contact their school principal.
Parents are asked to report any positive virus tests or exposures to school nurses to help keep accurate records and aid in decision making for the schools and the district. Nurse Jill Martin may be reached at 935-8337 and Nurse Shelly Constance may be reached at 935-6772.
