NEWPORT NEWS, Va. Right now, some Newport News Public Schools are still in a virtual learning setting. Warwick High School assistant principal Jason Taylor said better communication is needed between students and their parents who speak Spanish.
“We had some attendance concerns and we were following up with some families when we realized that the message was not getting out the way we wanted to get out. Parents were unable to read it or they didn’t understand it in English, said Taylor.
