Let’s Stay Safe - Back to the Basics
During this cold and flu season and uptick in COVID cases throughout the Commonwealth, we are reminding all to go back to the basics.
- Hand washing with soap and water or hand sanitizer should be routine at school and at home.
- Stay up to date on vaccines.
- If you are sick, stay home.
- In Charles City County Public Schools, masks are not mandatory. However, anyone who chooses to wear a mask has that option and can obtain a mask at school.

Attendance
School attendance is vital to academic achievement. Every day counts! Good attendance boosts academic success and prepares students for future employment. Absences add up, and excessive absences may affect receiving credit for classes or promotion to the next grade.
Students are expected to attend school daily on time. Send your children to school every day unless they are sick. This creates good habits and shows that school is important to your family.
Avoid arriving late and leaving early.
Create morning and night routines for school days and stick to them.
Set out clothes and backpack at night.
Have a regular bedtime and wake-up time.
