A DeWitt County school district will return to learning five-days-a-week beginning Monday, March 15.

Superintendent Dr. Hilary Stanifer indicates while many kids are doing well with the one-day remote learning, they are also hearing some students are not as focused as they should be and they believe the best place for kids will be in the school setting.

Dr. Stanifer believes perhaps many families that took on remote learning, especially for younger students, overestimated how effective learning from home could be. She hopes the community now understands why it is so important kids are in school learning.

Dr. Stanifer says starting five-days-a-week learning on March 15 will also work out well as district staff wraps up the vaccination process over the next few weeks, allowing for a recovery period for those that experience adverse impacts of the second shot.
