Person County Schools will operate on an asynchronous remote learning day tomorrow, Monday, January 26th.
Students and staff will not report to school buildings. Teachers have provided assignments and materials for students to complete independently. These activities are designed so that internet access is not required and students should use the materials already sent home or previously shared by their teacher.
Students should complete their assigned work according to teacher directions and return it as instructed when school resumes.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of Person County Shools.

Good afternoon, Oak Lane families! ☀️

Our teachers and staff will be available throughout the day on ClassDojo and email if you need anything or have questions.
Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the cozy start to your weekend! ❄️💙
