BRASHER FALLS â The St. Lawrence and Heuvelton school districts have joined other local districts in switching to remote instruction this week after positive cases of COVID-19 were identified in their buildings.
In a Wednesday night Facebook message, St. Lawrence Central School Superintendent Christopher Rose said they were notified at 5 p.m. that they had a positive case of COVID-19 in the high school, and middle and high school students would pivot to remote instruction for Thursday and Friday to give them time to coordinate contract tracing with the St. Lawrence County Public Health Department.
âThe person that tested positive has not been in school since last week but the timeframe falls within the ten days of mandatory quarantine for those who may have been exposed,â Mr. Rose wrote.
