FLOYD COUNTY â New Albany-Floyd County Schools is planning to return to in-person learning in January.
NAFC Superintendent Brad Snyder announced Friday in a letter to families that K-12 students will return to in-person learning Monday, Jan. 11 after completing eLearning Jan. 5-8.
âWe will continue to pivot e-Learning, postpone events, and make additional mitigation changes when they become necessary,â Snyder said in the letter. âPublic safety will be our guide. However, if everyone does their part, we hope to put together a spring semester which will turn out more satisfying than the fall.â
Starting in late November, NAFC finished the first semester with virtual learning amid a surge in COVID-19 cases.
