NORWALK The city has close to 3,800 high school students, but only about 400 of them are currently learning in a physical classroom these days.
Though Norwalk emphasized its commitment to keeping schools open for in-person learning even as coronavirus cases rise and classes go remote due to quarantines and staffing shortages, only a small portion of high school students are using the hybrid option that keeps them in the buildings part of the week.
NORWALK, Conn. West Rocks Middle School has joined the list of closed Norwalk Public Schools facilities.
“NPS was notified late in the day of new confirmed COVID cases at West Rocks Middle School. As a result, West Rocks will be on full remote learning tomorrow to allow time for contact tracing to take place. …Families will be updated over the weekend about a return to in-person learning, after more information is available,” NPS Communications Director Brenda Wilcox Williams said in an email.
West Rocks is the eighth school to close this week.
Jefferson Elementary and Fox Run Elementary switched to remote learning Monday
