Vance County Schools will operate on a one-hour delay on Wednesday, Jan. 15.
While remnants of last weekend’s snow and ice largely have gone away, VCS chief communications officer Aarika Sandlin said Tuesday that the delay
will allow buses to operate during daylight hours, ensuring the safety of students and staff.
But other events scheduled for Tuesday afternoon and evening have been postponed, and Sandlin said announcements will be forthcoming regarding new dates for the PK/K registration sessions, as well as the Innovative Schools information sessions.
The application process for parents to register their children for one of the five Innovative Schools continues through Feb. 7.
There also will be a virtual session scheduled for 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 22, during which principals of the five innovative schools will be available to answer questions and to share additional information about their programs. Find the link on the VCS website in the top right corner
