White Plains To Offer Remote-Only Option For Students

WHITE PLAINS, NY — Saying that they couldn't wait any longer for guidance, White Plains school officials announced Wednesday they would offer students a fully remote program for the fall semester.

"Our parents/guardians asked and we are delivering," said White Plains Superintendent Joseph Ricca.

School officials decided to offer a fully Remote Learning option based on Gov. Andrew Cuomo's remarks Friday at a news briefing, during which he said, "How each district decides to reopen is up to its own discretion, whether it's in-person or a hybrid plan that includes remote learning."

Parents in the White Plains school district who would like to choose a fully Remote Learning experience for your child/children in the first marking period must say so in writing by Aug. 25. The letter should go to your child’s building principal via email or fax. Here's a link to the email address directory.
