"Due to multiple positive cases of COVID-19 in the 11th grade, the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) has determined that 11th-grade classrooms will temporarily close from December 2 to December 6 to allow for contact tracing," Northeast High School principal Omar Crowder said in a letter released Thursday.

The students will move to virtual learning until Monday, Dec. 6, officials said.

"Please know that the entire school will be deep cleaned and disinfected before it is reopened for students and staff," Crowder added.
