SOUTH ROYALTON Four school campuses in the White River Valley closed for in-person learning on Thursday due to cases of COVID-19.
The White River Valley School, which has campuses in Bethel and South Royalton, moved to remote learning for all grades preK-12 through next week, White River Valley Supervisory Union Superintendent Jamie Kinnarney said in a Wednesday evening message to families.
The school shifted learning models after school officials learned of a COVID-19 case affecting the school community on Wednesday evening, Kinnarney wrote. White River Valley School students are expected to return for in-person learning on March 3, after the February vacation, he said.
