Rappahannock County Public Schools

___________________________

Dear Rappahannock Families,

Thank you to our entire school family for your valuable input by completing surveys and volunteering for our planning committees. Based on your feedback, along with data from the Virginia Department of Education, Virginia Department of Health, World Health Organization, CDC, and other reputable organizations, we created a comprehensive proposal. After revisions of the proposal, based on our most recent parent & staff survey, the School Board has approved the plan for reopening schools.

RCPS Reopening Plan

Approved by the School Board on July 15, 2020.

Non-Resident Tuition Waiver

During the May School Board Meeting, Dr. Grimsley proposed a new regulation to broaden non-resident tuition waiver eligibility requirements.

If you own land in Rappahannock or work anywhere within the county, you may be eligible for a non-resident tuition waiver.
