VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE! Due to COVID-19 the state has approved the following plan for our students: Beginning on Monday, November 9th White County Central Schools will pivot to virtual instruction grades k-12 and will resume classes on Thursday, November 19th. Students will be expected to complete assignments and stay in communication with their teachers on a regular basis.
Important announcement! Due to COVID within the district and several secondary teachers that are now quarantined the ADH has approved a plan for WCC to pivot to virtual instruction for grades 7-12 beginning tomorrow (Nov. 5-Nov. 18). PreK-6 will continue on-site instruction.
In an effort to battle a recent uptick in COVID-19 cases (mainly at the high school level), we want to remind students to wash hands frequently, wear masks where social distancing isn't possible, and to adhere to quarantining for the duration of a mandated isolation or quarantine period. The district has also implemented temperature screening for all students each morning. District COVID updates are linked on the main page of our website.
