On Tuesday, Oct. 27, Superintendent Todd Stewart broke the news in a letter to school families. There have been three new positive COVID-19 cases that have been detected in the district.

Stewart said with the rise of COVID-19 cases locally and nationally, moving all students to online learning is the “prudent” thing to do.

In addition to students moving to fully online, or remote learning, all extra-curricular activities have been cancelled until at least Nov. 10.

Effected individuals have been notified and will undergo 14-day quarantines.
