After initially committing to remote learning only for all high school students through Friday, L’Anse Area superintendent Susan Tollefson believes quarantine restrictions may not be lifted by the end of the weekend.
This is the first time that students have been the cause of a COVID-related closure, says Tollefson.
She is happy to report that grades K-8 are doing well, and operating as close to normal as possible. All district springtime events are trying to be squeezed in, with some modifications such as moving outside. Last week was the National Honor Society induction ceremony at the high school, which had to get relocated to the auditorium to satisfy distancing requirements.
Tollefson says graduation may be outdoors. If inside, graduates would be kept to a limit of eight guests each. Tollefson says it is expected that roughly 45 students will make up the Class of 2021.
