Housatonic Valley Regional High School has moved to full distance learning.  Assuming safe conditions relative to the spread of COVID-19 in our area, students will return to in-person learning in the hybrid model on January 19. This timing allows Region 1 to account for the potential of community spread over the winter holidays and return to school when the risk of infection should be more manageable. While this recommendation is based partly on the current uptick of positive COVID-19 cases at Housatonic Valley Regional High School, it also has been made due to the increased number of students who have chosen to become distance learners, making it increasingly difficult for teachers to create a cohesive learning environment in their classrooms.
