Snow Prompts Changes in Exam Schedule, County Spelling Bee

STAFFORD, Va. — Schools Stafford County have been closed since Thursday, but they’re slated to be back open on Monday and there are changes to the exam schedule.

More in a press release from Stafford County Public Schools:

Stafford County students will be in school a full day on Monday, January 28, 2013, and Tuesday, January 29. The teacher work day originally scheduled on Monday, January 28th , has been moved to Wednesday, January 30. There will be no school for students on Wednesday, January 30th, due to the teacher workday.

On Monday, January 28th, middle and high school students will have their exams that were originally scheduled for Thursday January 24. Exams originally scheduled for Friday, January 25, will be given on Tuesday, January 29. The second semester will begin on Thursday, January 31, and report cards will now be issued on February 5. Please refer to your individual school sites for details regarding schedules for these days.

Stafford County School Division apologizes for any inconveniences caused by the multiple changes in the instructional schedule. We had hoped to allow trainings that were scheduled for the work day on Monday to continue but the needs of the teaching staff to have the work day following the exams was paramount leading to the change in the work day from Monday to Wednesday.

-The SAT exams scheduled at Colonial Forge, Mountain View and North Stafford High Schools on Saturday, January 26, have been postponed to Saturday, February 16.

-The Stafford County Spelling Bee has been rescheduled for Thursday, February 7, at Drew Middle School. The spelling will commence at 6 p.m.
