A classroom at Millennium Elementary <\/a>School, 1919 SE 270th St.<\/a>, in Kent has been closed due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The Kent School District posted the closure Dec. 2 on its School Status <\/a>Map as part of its COVID-19 Dashboards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“As of Dec. 2, one classroom is closed,” according to the district website. “Otherwise, the building is open and offering in-person instruction to students in the remaining classrooms. The school has contacted all impacted families of the closed classroom on Dec. 2. Class will resume in person Dec. 14.”<\/p>\n

The district has closed several classrooms at schools since classes began in August. The district has not fully closed any schools. Students in a closed classroom switch to remote learning.<\/p>\n

• The cases have symptoms that start within 14 days of each other<\/p>\n

• The cases are not associated with one another in another setting (household, club, etc.)<\/p>\n
