Recently, Governor Beshear rescinded almost all COVID-19 restrictions for the state of Kentucky. As a result, the Kentucky Department of Education no longer requires students to wear masks, observe social distancing, etc. in school settings. While the staff of Lawrence County Schools will continue our heightened efforts for cleaning and sanitation, we will be returning to a more "normal" setting in August. Even though we want to see all students back in the classroom in the fall, we do understand that the virtual setting may be the best option for some students. With this in mind, we will be offering a virtual academy for the upcoming school year. The 2021-2022 Virtual Academy for Grades 6-12 will be very similar to the "Option 3" that we offered last year, but the Kentucky Department of Education has more requirements for Grades K-5. This will only be offered if we have enough interest. Also, there is a cap size for grade levels: *K-5 - 30 students *6-8 - 20 students *9-12 - 30 students If you are interested in your student attending the Lawrence County Virtual Academy, please complete the survey by clicking on the link below: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe7RsLdCCX2YyrCA7u6OvAO6ajX0zl4a_ME2c7zZaq6y75Yeg/viewform You only have to complete the survey if you want your student to attend virtually next year. Deadline to register: Wednesday, July 14th Thank you for being ALL IN!
