MANCHESTER, NH – Southside Middle School is moving to remote learning status for all students through Feb. 12 after a cluster of COVID-19 cases was confirmed Thursday afternoon. The school sent a notification to families announcing the move to remote learning.

Under the school district’s COVID-19 metric, a school must move to remote learning if a cluster of cases is confirmed. A cluster is defined as 3 or more cases in the same class or area of a school.

Manchester schools returned to hybrid on Jan. 25. Most city schools are in hybrid status, however the Middle School at Parkside is also in remote status after a cluster was confirmed last weekend. Safety protocols remain in place in all schools, including requirements for masks and physical distancing, as well as enhanced cleaning and air handling procedures.
