GREENWICH — Eastern Middle School is closed Friday out of an abundance of caution, according to the school district, after a teacher tested positive for COVID-19.
Principal Jason Goldstein, Superintendent of Schools Toni Jones and Jessica Wieneke, a nurse in the district, sent a message to families Thursday night notifying them that a seventh-grade teacher had tested positive. The middle school will close for at least a day to allow the district to conduct contact tracing, they said.
“The teacher has not been in school since Tuesday, and we will update families as we determine the extent of any contact from team meetings and other possible interactions,” they said.
Students were instructed to log on to Google classroom for remote learning according to their regular class schedules.
The school district’s Communications Director Sasha Houlihan could not be immediately reached Friday morning for details on coronavirus cases in the district. On its website, the school district publishes a weekly tracker of COVID cases. According to the tracker, there had been just one confirmed cases, at Greenwich High School, since the start of the school. The tracker had not been updated Friday morning for the week ending Oct. 2.
“GPS will remain vigilant in keeping our families informed as guided by our local health officials,” the administrators said.
