COVID Update 4/28/2021 - Jr/Sr HS Move to Remote Learning
The intent of this communication is to notify our school community of recent Covid-19 situations involving students within the district.
On April 28, 2021, we were notified of two positive student COVID-19 cases, one at the Jr/Sr High School and the other at the J. Andrew Morrow Primary School. Both students are members of the same household. The last day these individuals were in school was Friday, April 23, 2021. Potential close contacts have been identified and informed to not return to school until approved to do so based on CDC and DOH quarantine guidelines.
The Jr/Sr High School currently has 4 positive cases that count towards the Department of Education’s School Closure Matrix. As a medium-sized building, the Jr/Sr High School would need to close for a period of 2-3 days with the onset of 4-6 cases in the building when Bradford County is in the Substantial category. The Towanda Jr/Sr High School will be closed for in-person instruction on Thursday, April 29 and Friday, April 30. All extracurricular activities will be paused beginning Wednesday, April 28, 2021, and resume Friday, April 30, 2021, at 3:15 PM. In-person instruction will resume Monday, May 3, 2021.
