Clayton County Schools will end its virtual classroom instruction on Friday and wrap up the academic year on May 21, the district has announced.
Students in pre-kindergarten through the 11th grade will no longer need to log into the digital classroom after this week, though teachers will be available to help anyone who requires extra help to complete any unfinished coursework, the school system said.
Seniors, who finished their instructional year on April 17, have until May 15 to submit all assignments. If a senior is still failing by that date, he or she can attend summer credit recovery sessions.
Clayton switched to a digital classroom in late March after schools were closed to stem the spread of the coronavirus. The district of 55,000 students has made several adjustments to accommodate the closure, including moving graduation to June 25-26.
While classes may be ending this week, teachers and principals will be available to meet virtually with parents to discuss retention and placement considerations by the end of May, the district said.
If a student is at risk of failing because of poor performance, teachers, counselors or a designee will contact him or her to discuss missing assignments and/or an instructional plan for the student to improve schoolwork averages.
