Sachem Schools Superintendent Christopher Pellettieri announced on Wednesday that Sachem North High School would be closed for in-person learning on Thursday, Oct. 1 and Friday, Oct. 2 to allow the district to complete contact tracing and crews to disinfect the building.
The district also announced that there was a positive case at Seneca Middle School, and Sachem High School East, though there were no plans to transition to remote learning at either school.
Pellettieri noted in a letter to parents that several staff members at the District Office were near or in close proximity to a co-worker who tested positive for the virus and they’ve entered a temporary quarantine.
"Cleaning and disinfecting of the exposed locations are being completed," Pellettieri said. "As the COVID-19 situation in our country and our community is rapidly evolving, we urge you to take all necessary precautions to limit coronavirus spread in our community.”
