WATERTOWN â A sharp increase in the number of COVID-19 cases within the Watertown City School District has prompted the district to shift to a fully remote learning model for the next three weeks.
In a letter to the school community Friday afternoon, Superintendent Patricia B. LaBarr confirmed the district had to make the âdifficultâ decision to shift to its remote learning plan, which will begin Monday and go through Jan. 29.
âThe decision to close school was not made lightly,â she said. âWatertown has decided that closing school for all students was a necessary precaution to prevent further spread of COVID-19 throughout our District and community.â
