Jeffco Public Schools Will Start The School Year With Two Weeks Of Remote Learning
JEFFERSON COUNTY (CBS4) - Jeffco Public Schools will begin their school year online. The district announced Thursday they will start with two week of remote learning on August 24th.
The district plans on beginning 100% in-person learning and 100% remote options on Tuesday, September 8th for elementary schools. For middle and high schools, the district will open with a hybrid schedule for alternate in-person and remote learning days, grouped into two groups.
The September 8th opening is contingent on virus levels in Jefferson County, according to a district document. The district will require all staff and students to wear masks and face coverings, regular hand washings, and social distancing.
The announcement comes less than a week after Denver Public Schools announced their intention to begin the school year with remote learning. They will assess and currently plan on returning for in-person learning until at least September 8th.
