Carthage R-9 cancels summer school classes after three junior high students contract COVID-19

In two Facebook posts today, Carthage R-9 Superintendent Mark Baker canceled summer classes in grades kindergarten through junior high. The first post dealt with the junior high cancellation.

Unfortunately, we need to cancel Carthage Junior High summer school for the rest of the session. Three junior high students tested positive for COVID-19. 

The students and staff in those three rooms will be contacted by the health department and will possibly be placed in quarantine. In addition to that, our student enrollment has decreased over the past week. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. 








The junior high summer feeding program will be moved to Columbian and the high school 10:00 to 11:30 until July 1.

Shortly after that, Baker announced the cancellation of the other summer school classes.

Change of plans. I am cancelling the last two days of kindergarten through eighth grade summer school. Seventh and eighth grade weights are postponed until further notice. Sorry for any issues this might cause.
