(This is a press release from VBCPS)
After carefully considering feedback from the community, Virginia Beach City Public Schools has revised its plans to make up instructional time lost due to the school closure for snow on February 10.
April 8 will now be an instructional day for students. The day was originally scheduled as a staff day with schools closed for students. As a result of the change, the school division no longer plans to temporarily add 20 minutes to the school day as previously announced.
Communications to parents will include an AlertNow message to be sent this evening to all households of children enrolled in Virginia Beach schools. In addition, an updated calendar is posted on the school division website, vbschools.com.
