Prince William County school officials are asking the public's help to get schools reopened.
They're asking residents to make sure sidewalks and bus stops in neighborhoods are shoveled so kids can get to school safely.
The county is still working on snow removal at schools and offices, schools spokesman Ken Blackstone said in an e-mail late Sunday.
"With everyone’s help and support, we can make sure schools reopen in a safe and timely fashion," he wrote.
In Manassas, students of Mayfield Intermediate School won't be going back to class this week, and when they do it won't be in their old classrooms. The school's roof was deemed structurally unstable following the last two snowstorms and the city says it will take weeks to make repairs.
City school officials said they hope to have students in alternate classrooms by Feb. 22. And when students do go back, they will be in need of supplies since they can't return to their school.
The school system is asking for donations of packets of wide-ruled notebook paper, safety scissors, glue sticks, high lighters, blue or black pens, large erasers, red pens, #2 Pencils (no mechanical pencils), colored pencils, tissues, hand sanitizer and pencil boxes.
They also need 50 milk crates.
Donations can be dropped off at the Boys and Girls Club, 9501 Dean Park Drive in Manassas.
