The Gilead Hill School in Hebron is continuing remote learning on Monday because of cases of COVID-19 and a high number of students in quarantine.

The school will reopen for in-person learning on Tuesday, Sept. 14.

It began last Monday with cases within the Parks and Recreation PREP before/after school program and then continued at Gilead Hill School, the superintendent wrote.

He said it’s probable that there has been in-program transmission within the PREP program and it is probable that there has been in-school transmission within some preschool and some Kindergarten classes at Gilead Hill School.

According to the latest notice on the school's website, nine students and three staff members at Gilead Hill School have tested positive and 89 students and two staff members are in quarantine.
