The upper school of St. George’s Independent School is going online-only until the end of fall break because of at least two coronavirus cases, school officials said in an email to the school community.
All high school extracurricular activities are postponed until Oct. 6.
The email stated that upper school students would begin to be dismissed at 1 p.m. Middle and elementary school students are not required to use remote learning unless notified by the school.
“Though the cases were not directly related to contact at school, we have traced each student’s path through the school day and feel that it is in the best interest of the health and safety of all members of our community that the upper school shift to remote learning until the end of fall break,” the statement read.
