GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — The first day of school is Monday, August 17th. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Guilford County Schools is starting the 2020-2021 academic year with remote learning only.
Depending on public health data and trends, students will be able to return to school for in-person learning no sooner than October 20th. The school district's goal is to serve the most students for the greatest amount of time possible while keeping students and staff healthy and safe.
During the first three weeks of remote learning, students will have pre-recorded content and activities. Teachers will spend two hours daily meeting with students in small groups, individually, or holding short live interactions.
Each school will contact parents to schedule an orientation session. During the scheduled sessions, teachers will make sure students can access and navigate all online learning systems, tools, and resources. School staff will also make sure students and parents understand the health protocols that will be in place when schools reopen for in-person instruction.
