GOSHEN â Goshen Community Schoolsâ students in grades seven through 12 will continue with Course V, all virtual school, until Jan. 19.
School officials cited Elkhart County continuing to be in the âredâ category on the state color-coded metrics map, hospitals still beyond capacity and the continued spread of the novel coronavirus as the reason for the extension.
âIt is our hope that even if conditions spike after the holidays, waiting until mid-January to reassess will allow conditions to stabilize and allow our secondary students to return to in-person classes,â the statement from school officials reads. âIf Elkhart County has not returned to the âorangeâ category by Jan. 19, then students in grades 7-12 may continue with virtual instruction.â
