Even January 11th is 10 days from any contact people may have had New Years, with the cdc recommended time to quarantine for symptoms to show. It's not unreasonable.
Tonight the Fauquier County School Board voted to open on January 6 under an all-virtual instructional model through January 15, with an option to start the hybrid model on January 19. The School Board will re-examine the data at their January 11 meeting. Details to follow.

Teachers: I know WE are exhausted. BUT...thanking our parents who are getting their kids online every day and supporting their asynchronous work is so important. The response you get will feed your passion. Learning for all...WHATEVER it takes. @tweetwps

I cannot even imagine how he makes his teachers and STUDENTS feel daily! #admingoals #kiakaha #onemoreround
He won't remember me now, but I was a long term sub (aspiring teacher still in grad school) when he was AP at Ellis Elementary. He would look at me each morning I signed in, tell me how important it was for subs to be there. I wasn't even staff, but I felt useful and important...
This is proving so relevant! #waitforit
It’s gonna take awhile to get all our votes counted. I’m willing to wait...

I still see this being used incorrectly, even in education.
There’s a big difference between equality and equity.
It's picture day, Kindergarten 2020. Your son asks to wear his favorite Chomp shirt, and then asks if you will match with him. Absolutely yes. But not only will our separate photos match, the amazing photographer offered to capture this moment!#strawbridge @RSVLTS @JKESWPS

1st US/VA PBL of the year: "How can you, as history students, create a proposal for a US History curriculum that highlights oppressed or underrepresented voices from the early American time period?" LOVING the presentations from today! @FcpsSocial #ThinkSocialStudies

I think my teacher evaluations for the year are done, goes something like this: You pivoted, adapted, you were flexible & persevered, you were resilient, you showed grace, you worked your tail off & you did it! Thank you, thank u! What educators have accomplished is unbelievable!
