Several districts in the Twin Counties have opted to go fully remote as they prepare for the possibility that the area may be labeled a microcluster.
Originally slated to return to in-person instruction Monday, Windham-Ashland-Jewett and Hunter-Tannersville will stay remote until after the Christmas break. Elementary students at Cairo-Durham will also switch to virtual learning until January, joining grades 6-12.
âIt is with a heavy heart to inform you that Hunter-Tannersville Central will go fully remote from Dec. 14-23,â Superintendent Nate Jones wrote in a letter to parents. âI am a true believer in the benefits of in-person instruction, and this decision has not been made lightly. We have thoroughly thought this through and believe this is in the best interest of Hunter-Tannersville Central.â
