FAIRFIELD, CT Fairfield Woods Middle School will switch to remote learning for the rest of the week after the school had an increase in positive coronavirus cases.
School district officials were concerned about the spike in cases and quarantines among students and staff, according to a message sent Wednesday to parents. When Wednesday morning brought more cases, students were moved out of the seventh-grade wing to begin cleaning and disinfecting. These cases significantly impact the school s ability to function in a safe and effective manner, said the message, attributed to Superintendent Mike Cummings and COVID-19 Health and Safety Compliance Liaison Angelus Papageorge.
