Raleigh, N.C. — Approximately 6,000 middle school students return to Wake County schools on Monday.
A total of 18,000 middle school students will return to classrooms this year in three cohorts of 6,000 students each. The first group returns Monday.
The staggered return of cohorts of middle school students comes two weeks after elementary students got back to the classroom. School board Chairman Keith Sutton said he is pleased with how the return is going, despite about a dozen reports of cases of the coronavirus linked to schools during those two weeks.
In another week, on Nov. 16, elementary schools that had seen students in rotation are scheduled to go back to full capacity. Wake County Superintendent Cathy Moore estimated about 20 students per classroom. The plan is for high school students to return, in rotation to start, when the second semester begins after the holidays.
Students are required to wear masks and social distance, and parents are encouraged to help young children by modeling mask wearing, hand washing and keeping their distance from others.
Since reopening schools, the Wake County district has reported nearly 30 COVID-19 cases, but state health officials say schools have relatively low rates of infection and are not largely driving our increase in virus numbers.
According to health officials, the majority of children who do contract coronavirus have mild or no symptoms of coronavirus. They also are less likely to spread the coronavirus.
