It's a move that comes because of a spike in coronavirus cases within the district and the community it serves, the superintendent says.
According to a message from the superintendent, "members of the learning community" have tested positive for coronavirus and numerous employees have been quarantined over the past week.
District leaders plan to re-evaluate next Friday.
