Per the Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) site, the rise in COVID cases in December led to a return to virtual learning for students. In person learning is scheduled to resume on Tuesday, January 18th, following the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday. Students in grades K-6 in the Virtual Learning Program will return to in-classroom learning on January 31st.

According to an NBC Washington article from December, Governor Larry Hogan disagreed with the counties decision to return to virtual learning for the following reasons:
- only 100 cases of COVID out of 131,000 students (this number is probably higher by now);
- safety protocols for in-classroom learning are in place; and
- fewer parents are working from home now.

I wonder if the virtual learning period for PG County students will be extended? Hmmm…
Stay safe everyone! Get vaccinated! Wear your mask! Get tested if you don’t feel well. Protect yourself and others!
