Rochester schools to go virtual starting Wednesday

The Rochester Community School Corporation will return to virtual learning starting Wednesday, January 19.

 

Superintendent Jana Vance released information Tuesday related to the school corporation's decision to go virtual.  In the release, Vance states:

 

As you are aware, the Covid virus continues to be a problem for all businesses including Rochester Community School Corporation. 

 

Due to a shortage of staff in all areas from teachers, to instructional assistants as well as transportation, food service and maintenance we have been forced to make the decision to go to virtual learning. 

 

EVENTS & ACTIVITIES:  All athletic and extra-curricular activities will continue as scheduled for as long as we can sustain this area.    

 

SCHOOL: Wednesday, January 19 - Rochester Community Schools will begin E-Learning.  Teachers and staff will report during contracted time.  E-learning will take place beginning at 10:00 am tomorrow, Wednesday, January 19, and we will resume in-person learning again on Monday, January 31, 2022. 

 

Vance goes to state that through working with the Fulton County Health Department they have determined that next week Covid cases in the county should be at their peak.

 

More information on lunch plans, procedures and other important updates will be released in the next couple of days.  You can follow Rochester's school website, social media and GIANT fm News and the Fulton County Post for continued updates.
