MORRIS
We are dealing with another positive COVID case in the middle school. The student was last at school on Wednesday. Several students will be quarantined until October 7. I have decided to have middle school go virtual through the end of this week. Students are at school today and we will finish the day. Students not on quarantine will return Monday, October 5. Our middle school football game this evening with Vian has been cancelled.
During this week of virtual, please monitor your children and if they show any symptoms, have them tested and let us know the results immediately. We will monitor how this week goes and if we see other cases, we may decide to extend the virtual days through the following week.
If your student is quarantined, they are not to attend any school functions.
Sincerely,
Dr. Karch
