There will be NO SCHOOL for ALL SMITH COUNTY STUDENTS Monday, 11/23, and Tuesday, 11/24, before the Thanksgiving break due to limited teacher/staff availability and significant student absences related to COVID-19 illness/exposure. We are doing everything we can to keep our students, staff, and families healthy. Buildings will be sprayed for sanitation during this closure. After Thanksgiving break, beginning Monday, November 30, IN-PERSON students will begin a hybrid schedule that will run through Friday, February 12. The 2020-21 school calendar has not been altered and all breaks and holidays will be observed as previously scheduled.

During the hybrid learning schedule,

  • All PreK-2nd grade students will attend every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.  All PreK-2nd grade students will learn remotely on Wednesday from home.

  • 3-8th grade students will be divided into 2 groups. The red team will attend Mondays and Thursdays while the white team will attend Tuesdays and Fridays.  On Wednesdays, all 3-8th grade students will learn remotely from home.  Students will bring home a note tomorrow with their team color assignment.  

  • If a student that has siblings at GHS or SCHS needs to change teams, please contact Mrs.Pope as soon as possible.

  •  STUDENTS MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ATTENDING THEIR CLASSES VIRTUALLY AND COMPLETING WORK ON DAYS THEY ARE REMOTE.  

  • Faculty and staff will report as normal, 5 days a week. See the calendar below for Forks River School's hybrid schedule.
