(THREE RIVERS) – While other high school students were in class on Friday, those who attend Three Rivers High School had the first of several days off.

In a letter posted on the Three Rivers Schools website and Facebook page, Superintendent Ron Moag announced that Three Rivers High School is being required by the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency to take a two week pause from in person learning and from athletics.

The break, which started Friday, April 23 and will be in effect through Friday, May 7, is due to the recent increases in COVID-19 cases at the school.

Moag says as of Thursday afternoon, there have been 29 Three Rivers High School students and staff, including three student-athletes, that have tested positive for COVID-19. That's just since school has been back in session since the end of Spring Break on April 13. Those positive results have also lead to more than 153 students, including the varsity baseball and softball teams, being quarantined.

This is the first pause of any in person learning for an entire school in the Three Rivers district since the High School and Middle School went back to in person learning on March 24.

Three Rivers Middle School and all of the elementary schools are not affect by this pause.

Moag says parents and guardians should monitor for the onset of symptoms related to COVID-19, which includes cough, shortness of breath, fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or the loss of taste of smell.
