Heritage High School students in Catoosa County, Georgia, will participate in virtual instruction until at least Aug. 30 because of the rising number of positive COVID-19 cases.
Superintendent Denia Reese said the district will continue to monitor cases to determine whether virtual instruction needs to be extended beyond that date.
“To ensure that you know what is happening in your child’s school, you will receive a nightly email reporting the number of positive cases during the day,” Reese told parents on the district’s website. “If additional mitigation strategies need to be implemented, you will be notified.”
Changes to extracurricular schedules, she said, will be provided by Heritage Principal Ronnie Bradford to parents and students, along with instructions for how to participate in the school’s virtual learning platform.
