A Day in Quarantine
Students share their experience of being in quarantine
As we all know, we started off this school year on Level 2 (hybrid schedule). But on Oct. 19, we moved to Level 1 which is in-person 5 days a week. Since then, the amount of students that have to be quarantined has grown exponentially.
