Good afternoon, We were all heartbroken when we learned that Cameron Craig had lost his life in the line of duty as a local Firefighter. The services to honor his sacrifice will occur on Wednesday afternoon and the procession will have a tremendous impact on traffic in our community. In order to honor Cameron's ultimate sacrifice and to ensure that our buses and car traffic do not interfere with the procession, all Washington County Public Schools will dismiss 2 hours early on Wednesday, October 25. Childcare will be available at all middle and elementary schools for working families who need that service. Each school will provide individual details prior to Wednesday. Thank you for your understanding. We know you join us in loving, supporting, and praying for everyone involved. Thank you, Keith Perrigan, Ed.D. Superintendent Washington County Public Schools

On September 8, Governor Youngkin, Secretary Guidera, and Superintendent Coons released the 2022-23 Standards of Learning scores and a plan that outlined Virginia’s ALL-IN plan that defined high-intensity academic tutoring. This tutoring focuses on supporting those students who failed their SOLs or who demonstrated a risk of failing, and establishes options for tutors, schedules, ratios, and resources to ensure that tutoring can be successful in every school across the Commonwealth. The hallmark of ALL-IN tutoring is learning acceleration. It is essential that tutoring match grade-level content and support students in connecting lost learning to what they are learning in the classroom every day. The scores of Washington County School's students exceed the state average, and our teachers have been working diligently to make sure students have strong learning experiences and support to recover where needed. One strategy is to ensure that students receive intensive and accelerated support to keep pace with their pre-pandemic peers. Washington County Schools has implemented this high-intensity academic tutoring and is working to use innovative ways to incorporate it both into our school day and beyond.

Good afternoon, Parenting has always been hard! Parenting in a post-pandemic world with all the challenges and stressors that come along raising a child in 2023 can seem overwhelming.
