Glades County School 5th Grade Sent Home

MOORE HAVEN, FL. -- The Glades County Schools have announced that all 5th grade students at one elementary school in Glades county north of LaBelle will be changed to virtual learning starting Monday August 23.

"The 5th grade at West Glades School is experiencing a large number of COVID cases and quarantined students at this time. We are moving ALL fifth grade classes at West Glades School to virtual learning starting Monday, 8/23 and will return to in-class learning on Tuesday , 9/7. 

"We apologize for any inconvenience that this might create for your families. It is very important for us to keep students as safe as possible. Prevention strategies are in place to prevent the spread of COVID and have been since school started. Rooms are being cleaned and disinfected daily, handwashing is strongly encouraged, students are six feet apart most of the day, and cohorting is used to limit the number of students, teachers, and staff who come in contact with each other. 

"We are doing our best to stay in school but COVID-19 continues to circulate and is highly contagious. Community transmission in Glades County has moved from substantial to high in the past few weeks.

"Please continue to keep your families and your community safe. Remember to stay home if you are sick. Do not send your students to school if they are sick or someone in your house is experiencing COVID –like symptoms. If someone in your household is waiting for COVID-19 test results, please keep your student home."
