When Heyworth schools resume in-person learning on January 5, several students who were completely remote first semester will return as well.

Dr. Lisa Taylor, Heyworth Superintendent, said Heyworth schools remained in-person up until Thanksgiving and then went fully remote as did other area districts. She notes sixty percent of fully remote students will change to in-person learning.

Dr. Taylor believes families decided to try in-person learning due to the district's overall success of first semester. She adds online learning can bring extra stress and challenges for families as well.

Heyworth schools will begin their spring semester on January 5.
