There were 21 reports of positive COVID-19 cases from staff that attended school.

Other classes that were moved to Emergency Response Virtual Learning Closures this week included a multi grade classroom at East Middle School, pre-school and kindergarten classrooms at Morningside STEM Elementary, and a 5th grade classroom at Sunnyside Elementary.
