Coronavirus Information
Dear Parents, Guardians, and School Families,
Beginning Monday, November 16, 2020 masks and face coverings WILL BE REQUIRED of all students ages 5 and up at school The Governor's Amended Executive Order 63 states that: "Therefore, Executive Order 63, issued in May, required face coverings to be worn in certain indoor public spaces. Now, as we continue to prioritize the health and safety of our students, educators, and school staff, additional requirements to wear face coverings are necessary." We have received clarification from the Virginia Department of Education that the Governor's Orders include school settings.
Amended Executive Order 67 states that: "The presence of more than 25 individuals performing functions of their employment or assembled in an educational instructional setting is NOT a gathering.
The Dickenson County Schools will comply with the Governor's Orders and will require masks and face coverings to be worn at school all day except when eating for all students, educators, and school staff.
If additional information is received concerning the Governor's Orders, and how the orders relate to public school settings, we will immediately inform you.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
