Prince William County Schools announced Tuesday evening that regardless of whether or not classes resume Thursday, Jan. 28, the teacher workday scheduled for Monday, Feb. 1 will take place as planned.

However, the end of the second grading period as well as the distribution of report cards will be delayed by five days.

"This will affect delivery of transcripts to colleges; however, schools will be advised and likely understanding  of the circumstances," a PWCS official said.

The weather-related closing should not affect SOL testing window.

"Weather-related changes through Thursday's two-hour delay (and including the day off for the March 1 primary election) leave PWCS with 6.5 days worth of hours before any risk of falling short of VA-required classroom time," they said.
