Geneva High School students to resume in-person learning Monday

GENEVA – After sending Geneva High School students home for remote learning Thursday and Friday last week, District 304 officials announced the students would return on Monday for in-person five-days-a-week learning.

The students were sent home for remote learning – called an adaptive pause – because too many were out of school for quarantine after COVID exposures, officials said.

In an April 16 letter on the high school website, www.geneva304.org, Superintendent Kent Mutchler and Principal Tom Rogers wrote that after reviewing the data, high school students should return to school.

“The school district is hopeful that the two-day adaptive pause will reduce the number of quarantines in the near future because students were not in close contact with one another on Thursday and Friday of this week,” according to the notice. “The district is also optimistic that the number of positive COVID cases will diminish now that we are further from spring break.”
