Uintah School District announced Wednesday that, as a precaution, Eagle View Elementary has moved their 7th grade class to online learning following a third confirmed case of COVID-19 since December 2nd. “There are currently 33 students enrolled in the 7th grade at Eagle View,” shares the District announcement. “They have been cohorted this year. Based on contact tracing, the district believes this outbreak is isolated to the 7th grade. Uintah School District is following existing guidance from the state of Utah regarding what constitutes a COVID-19 outbreak in a classroom. In this instance, the ‘7-day test and return’ protocol does not apply. The timing of the move to online instruction will take Eagle View’s 7th graders up to the Christmas break, which begins December 23rd. Eagle View expects to welcome its 7th grade students back for in-person learning when classes resume on January 4th.” Parents and students were notified of the transition on Wednesday morning.
