The New Fairfield High School building will be closed today and tomorrow after a person in the school community tested positive for COVID-19.  Superintendent Pat Cosentino said in a letter to parents that out of an abundance of caution, anyone who had the potential for close contact lasting 15 minutes or more with the individual was notified by end of day Friday.  Cosentino said the virus was contracted outside of school, through what she described as “family contact.”  New Fairfield Middle School is also on remote learning after a member of that school’s community tested positive for COVID-19 last week. Middle school students and staff are expected to return to in-person learning next Thursday.
