January 14, 2021: As information, Giles County Public Schools will begin transitioning 4th-7th grade students back to school for 4 days per week (Monday through Thursday) of in-person instruction. This will begin on Tuesday, Jan. 19th, due to Monday being a holiday.
In addition, 8th-12th grade will continue the hybrid instructional model during the week of Jan. 19-21, but will begin to transition to in-person instruction for 4 days per week (Monday through Thursday), beginning on Tuesday, January 26th, due to Monday the 25th being a teacher workday.
We look forward to bringing more of our students back for 4 days per week for in-person instruction. We ask everyone to continue to follow the necessary safety protocols so we will be able to continue operating under this model moving forward.
"As information, Giles County Public Schools will continue the instructional model that we currently are under (PreK – 3rd Grade – 4 days per week and 4th – 12th grade under the Hybrid Instructional Model) until further notice. This is due to the continued spread within the community. We will reevaluate our plan each week moving forward to determine if it is appropriate to make any adjustments and we will announce any changes to the plan by Wednesday or Thursday of that week. Please continue to check back here for any updates as we move forward. Thanks."
As information, based on the Amended Executive Orders announced by the Governor on Friday, November 13th, effective immediately, all students and staff will be required to wear a face covering during the school day, even if 6 ft. physical distancing can be achieved.
