CHCCS on Remote Learning, Chatham and Orange County Schools Closed After Weekend Winter Storm

After Winter Storm Gianna dumped several inches of snow across central North Carolina Saturday, school districts across the community have announced closures for Monday, Feb. 2.

Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools will have a remote learning day on Monday. Middle and high schoolers will use synchronous instruction, meaning teachers will meet with students through live virtual sessions. Pre-K and elementary students will have asynchronous instruction. Teachers have provided students and families with choices of age-appropriate educational activities and lessons that can be completed that day. Monday will be the third of a maximum of five remote learning days for CHCCS this year.

All in-person CHCCS activities have been cancelled or postponed.

Chatham County Schools will be closed for all students and staff Monday with no remote learning day. All buildings and campuses will be closed, and all after school events, activities and athletics events are cancelled.

Orange County Schools will also be closed for all students Monday. It will not be a remote learning day, as the district used all five of its allotted remote learning days last week in the wake of Winter Storm Fern and its ensuing icy conditions. Because North Carolina law allows public school districts to hold up to five remote learning days each academic year, it means Orange County Schools will likely need to make up days of instruction if there are any cancellations of class moving forward. The district must hold either 185 days or 1,025 total hours of instruction, each school year and Orange County Schools already cancelled classes for two days in early December out of concern over road conditions.
