Monday and Tuesday were the first days back in school for students at the Rock Terrace School. Rock Terrace is collocated with Tilden Middle School, meaning they are on the same campus. According to their return to in-person learning slideshow on their website, all students(virtual or in-person) may have different teachers and classes, and the same students will be together all day. Students will also go to school for the same hours as a regular school day. On Wednesday, buses could be witnessed at the school, even though Wednesday is an asynchronous day for all county students. These asynchronous Wednesdays are meant to give building services time to sanitize the building.

It appears that staff are in both the Tilden and Rock Terrace buildings, based on the crowded parking lots. As you can see in the above picture, the parking lot is fairly full, which leads us to believe that staff from both Tilden and Rock Terrace Staff are working in the building.
Tilden Middle School's signature programs which include LFI and Aspergers programs will return to school for in-person learning at Tilden on March 15. They will not be on an A/B rotation. At Garrett Park and other elementary schools around the county, Grades K-3 will be returning on March 15. K-2 will not be on an A/B rotation, but Grade 3 will be on an A/B rotation at Garrett Park.

At most county schools, next week's schedule will look a little different. Most county schools have no school for students on Monday, and Asynchronous days on Monday and Tuesday. This will give teachers time to prepare their classrooms. Tilden MS and Luxmanor ES are schools that have just been finished. Teachers at these schools will get an additional day in order to unpack and prepare. Therefore, Tilden and Luxmanor Students will have Thursday as an Asynchronous day. Tilden students will have a half day, but they will have all 7 periods for about 15 minutes each.
