DODDRIDGE COUNTY SCHOOLS TO SUSPEND IN-PERSON SCHOOLING AND GO TO VIRTUAL LEARNING.

In collaboration with the Doddridge County Health Department, and due to the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases, Doddridge County Schools is suspending in-person schooling and all students will learn from home beginning immediately.  All students (Pre-Kindergarten-12) are affected by this decision.

   Beginning tomorrow, October 7, all school buildings will be closed to students.  We will be learning virtually the rest of this week, at which time we will reevaluate re-opening.  

   Teachers will report to conduct virtual classroom learning.  Students 

should have their devices with them and be ready to login at home at their usual time.  Students that do not have internet service at their home will be contacted by their teacher to make arrangements to complete their schoolwork.

We are making this move to provide for the safety of our students, our teachers, and the broader community.  We also need to make this move since we have limited substitute teachers.  Many of our substitute teachers are retired school teachers and have a greater risk of complications from COVID-19.  

Details regarding food delivery will be made available soon.  Teachers will contact parents and students regarding remote learning details.

Pursuant to guidance from the Department of Education all extra-curricular activities, including sporting events, will be cancelled for the remainder of the week.  The Saturday School Education Map published this Saturday will determine if in-person instruction, as well as extracurricular activities and sporting events, will resume next week.
