FARMINGTON, Arkansas The Farmington School District announced all schools within the district will pivot to virtual learning Wednesday, Jan. 13.
Due to COVID-19 cases and quarantines, students will switch to virtual learning on Wednesday with the expectation of returning to onsite learning on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
Currently, the district has positive COVID-19 cases in most schools and numerous students and staff quarantined.
The shortage of staff has directly impacted operations across the district.
With the calendar year ending soon, Matt Ruble, superintendent of Farmington School District, released a letter Thursday to parents regarding scheduling plans for 2021.
âThe first semester of our school year is drawing to a close. Our students will begin classes again on January 5, 2021 and we would like to share our plan with Farmington parents and community members, he said. When we return to learn in January we do so with a plan informed by the most recent health data. Due to significantly lower numbers of positive cases and required quarantines, we are excited to announce that our students will be returning to a more traditional school attendance schedule after the holiday season.â
