If my son weren't already virtual for the semester (a state-wide charter), he would be now. Our local middle school has gone virtual too -- joining one of the grade schools.
The district wide numbers earlier this week were changing pretty quickly:
[District] TOTAL REPORTED AS OF THURSDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 26
Staff cases: 28
Student cases: 144
[District] TOTAL REPORTED AS OF WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 25
Staff cases: 16
Student cases: 133
As of yesterday, the middle school (6th-8th grade) that closed was reporting:
NORTHSIDE MIDDLE SCHOOL
Confirmed positive staff cases: 4
Confirmed positive student cases: 17
The remote period -- a result of the impact of COVID on students, staff and school operations -- starts Aug. 30. With new DHEC guidelines, students are now scheduled to return to in-person learning on campus on Sept. 7.
