Based on the Department of Education’s School Closure Matrix, all three schools within the district will move to virtual instruction through March 31, 2021. All students should log into their schoology accounts every day to find Zoom links for their classes. If you have any questions or issues, please contact your school.

At this time, all extracurricular activities remain paused. We will continue to reevaluate the situation with outdoor activities and adjust if possible.

As a community, the key to our success is to continue working together as we strive to keep our students, faculty, and staff safe and healthy. Thank you again for working collaboratively with the district as we navigate through this public health crisis together. Stay safe and stay healthy.

Based on the Department of Education’s School Closure Matrix, the Towanda Jr/Sr High School will remain in virtual instruction through March 31, 2021. The Jr/Sr High School currently has 9 positive cases that count towards the 14-day rolling period of the matrix. Classified as a medium sized building, the Jr/Sr High School would need to close for a period of 14 days when Bradford County is in the Substantial category. At this time, all extracurricular activities remain paused. We will continue to reevaluate the situation with outdoor activities and adjust if possible.

Also, we currently have one staff case at J. Andrew Morrow Primary School and one student case at the Towanda Area Elementary School. Based on the Department of Education’s School Closure Matrix, these two buildings will remain in person at this time.
