Staff Report —

Northampton County Public Schools has extended virtual learning for the second time, this time setting Feb. 1 as the date for returning to in-person instruction.

The Virginia Department of Health school metrics dashboard places both Northampton and Accomack public schools in the “highest risk of transmission” category. As of Wednesday, Jan. 20, the entire state falls into the “highest risk” category.

According to a notice posted on the school division’s website, information about instructional materials and delivery will be communicated by each student’s school.

School meals will be distributed on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the following times/locations:

10-11 a.m.: Bayview Apartments, William Hughes Apartments, Cheriton Fire Department, Family Dollar, Treherneville Church, and the Jamesville Post Office.

11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m.: Seabreeze Apartments, Cobbs Station Trailer Park, Food Lion (Cape Charles), Food Lion (Exmore), Little Italy parking lot, and Hare Valley School.

10-11:30 a.m.: School board office, Machipongo.

Meals will be distributed at each school from 10 a.m. until noon.

One Tab devices are still available for pick up for all virtual and hybrid K through second-grade students at the central office in Machipongo.

Chromebooks are still available for pick up for all third- through sixth-grade students on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the central office in Machipongo.

If a child has already picked up a loaner laptop from NCPS, the division asks for its return and a Chromebook will be given in exchange.
