Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS)
MILWAUKEE - Bay View Montessori School's Upper Campus will move to virtual learning on Tuesday, Nov. 30 and return to in-person learning on Friday, Dec. 10.
A Milwaukee Public Schools news release says Bay View Montessori School's Upper Campus students, families, and staff were first notified about the transition to virtual learning Monday afternoon. The decision to move to virtual learning was made to decrease the likelihood of spreading COVID-19, due to the school community reporting that three percent or more of the total school population has tested positive for COVID-19 within a 14-day period.
Bay View Montessori staff will report to the building and work independently from their individual classroom or office space.

MPS requires all students, staff, and visitors to wear face-coverings, and encourage everyone to cover sneezes and coughs, practice physical distancing, and wash hands thoroughly and often.
