Vernon Students Now at RHS, VCMS 4 Days Per Week

VERNON, CT — Students at Rockville High School and Vernon Center Middle School were back in their respective buildings Monday as the local recovery from the coronavirus pandemic continued.

Aside from a slight traffic jam at dismissal time at RHS, there were very little problems throughout the court of the day, Vernon Superintendent of School Joseph Macary said.

The schools had been on virtual status since the outbreak of the pandemic about a year ago. Students from half the alphabet attended classes two days a week and students from the other half went to school in person on Thursday and Fridays.

Wednesday will remain as a cleaning day with virtual classes, Macary said, with students in the buildings four days per week.

At VCMS, 716 students are now at school. That leaves 165 who have opted for virtual learning.

At RHS, 877 students are now back in the building and 228 have opted to take classes online.
