Remote learning at GWL and Covid Update
Dear North Shore Parents, Faculty, and Community Members,
I hope you all had a good weekend. Unfortunately, the District reported 11 new Covid-19 cases today among students and staff in the following locations:
Glenwood Landing- 3 new cases
Middle School- 2 new cases
High School- 6 new cases
We have been able to complete contact tracing and anyone who needs to quarantine as a close contact has been contacted. Due to the combination of the newly identified cases at Glenwood Landing and an already high number of staff already in quarantine, Glenwood Landing School will pivot to a fully remote instructional program tomorrow, Tuesday, January 12, 2020. Mrs. Finder is in the process of notifying the Glenwood Landing faculty and you will hear from your child's teacher(s) about school for tomorrow.
All other schools will follow their regular in-person or hybrid model tomorrow.
We will continue working on the situation at Glenwood Landing and advise you of the status tomorrow. It is so important to stay vigilant, and as cases continue rising, we ask that you consider keeping your children at home if someone in the home is waiting for the results of a test. In addition, please err on the side of caution and stay home if you have any Covid related symptoms. We appreciate your diligence as we weather this new wave of cases so that we can do what we can to keep schools open to in-person instruction.
Best regards,
Dr. Peter Giarrizzo
Superintendent of Schools
