Starting Thursday, Walker County Schools will go on a temporary hybrid schedule, due to the spread of COVID-19 in local schools.

Walker County School Superintendent Damon Raines said that beginning Thursday and Friday, August 26th and 27th, Walker County students will be at-home learners while teachers refine their lesson plans for hybrid learning.

Hybrid instruction, on an A/B schedule, will begin next Monday, August 30th.  The hybrid schedule is currently set to run through September 17th.  Parents and guardians will receive more specific information from principals in the coming days, Raines said.
