In response to recent weather conditions across the Virgin Islands, the V.I. Department of Education has announced that all public schools will reopen and follow their regular schedules on Tuesday, November 12. VIDE said the decision to resume classes comes after the department’s maintenance teams completed thorough inspections of school facilities, confirming that weather events over recent days have not caused any hazards that would impede school operations.

VIDE stated that their assessment ensured each campus remains safe for students, faculty, and staff. “Based on these findings, it has been confirmed that all public schools are prepared to open on schedule,” the department affirmed, reinforcing its commitment to the well-being and safety of the school community.

Despite this green light for reopening, VIDE cautioned that weather conditions are subject to change and could impact school schedules in the coming days. The department emphasized that it would keep a close watch on weather developments and provide timely updates should any changes to school operations become necessary.

VIDE expressed gratitude for the community’s support and understanding during these periods of heightened weather vigilance, assuring all stakeholders that the safety and readiness of school campuses remain paramount.
