Glen Rock High, Middle School Closed After Positive COVID Test

GLEN ROCK, NJ — Glen Rock High School and Glen Rock Middle School will be closed for in-person learning for two weeks after a teacher tested positive for the coronavirus, the district announced.

Virtual instruction began Monday and continues until Nov. 25, with students expected to return Nov. 30, following Thanksgiving break. Athletics and other after school activities will not be affected, the district said.

The teacher was last present in the district on Nov. 10, according to the letter, but contact tracers "determined that it is highly likely that the teacher contracted COVID-19 outside of school."

Contact tracers have also notified those deemed to be in close contact with the teacher, but information on how many students or employees are affected was not released.

This is the district's eighth coronavirus case since Oct. 17. Here are the others:

• Oct. 17: three high schools students, including one virtual learner
• Nov. 7: Byrd Elementary School staff member
• Nov. 8: Hamilton Elementary School staff member
• Nov. 10: Fully virtual elementary school student
• Nov. 10: High school student
• Nov. 12: High school student

Elementary school schedules will not be impacted by this latest positive test, the district said.
