NCDHHS requires everyone age 5 and older to wear face coverings when indoors at schools, preschools, and on school or vendor transportation on days when students are in the building. They can be removed when actively eating or drinking. Face coverings are optional for everyone when outdoors.

On days when no students are in the school building, face coverings will be optional indoors for employees and visitors. If a student is present, employees must wear a face covering. 

Face coverings will also be optional for employees at Central Services who are not likely to interact with children and for visitors to these sites, including visitors to Board of Education and committee meetings.

Anyone who is not fully vaccinated is strongly encouraged to wear a face covering and maintain 6 feet of social distance.

Relationships among students, teachers and families are the foundation for a successful learning experience. That is why we eagerly await the time when we can once again see all students in person each and every day.

We acknowledge, however, that some families may not be comfortable with in-person instruction and some have had success with Virtual Academy. This is why WCPSS will provide a Virtual Academy program for grades K-12, along with a virtual option for Pre-K, for the 2021-22 school year pending final approval by the school board.

Through June 30, 2022, all children age 18 and under may receive breakfast and lunch at no cost via Curbside and Big Bus Food Truck Pop-up locations. Meals are also free to all Wake County students when they are at school for in-person instruction. Meals will not be available on holidays designated on the student’s calendar.
