Tuesday, March 3, 2020, the Primaries are being held in Virginia.  With many schools used as polling places – some school divisions are closing.  As MLWGS is not a polling site, March 3 is a normal school day.  The following are the divisions that are closed and what each division is planning for our students:

Hanover – normal transportation

Henrico – NO transportation

Chesterfield – students will be picked up at their home middle school at 7:10 am and returned to their regular PM stop

If bus transportation is not available from the home district and other arrangements cannot be made, students will be given a school excused absence with make-up work permitted. Please contact your home division’s department of transportation with any questions.

 

Best Wishes,
Mr. Smith
MLWGS Assistant Director

    AY27 Snapshot #6: ‘Back to School’ success in a short week

    Only at Maggie Walker could a four-day week have this much going on. Back to School Night is always one of my favorite events because it gives our teachers and families a chance to put names to faces. It was not that long ago that I was an MLWGS parent walking those same hallways, trying…
