Superintendent Dr. Anthony Azar made the announcement in a letter to parents. "The weeks leading up to holiday break have been increasingly difficult due to the community spread of COVID-19. We have had to close all school buildings because of the impact of the virus," the letter said. "We have identified an increase in COVID related absences due to illness and mandated quarantine periods. In an effort to provide consistency for students, staff, and families to begin 2021, we have decided to implement a full remote learning model for the week of January 4th.' From Jan. 4 to 8, all cohorts will move to remote learning, with no in-person programs. In-person learning will resume Jan. 11.
