News Release

ROCHESTER — Due to the recent activities of students attending end-of-summer celebrations and a number of exposures to persons testing positive for COVID 19 there and during travels, the Rochester Schools have decided, in cooperation with the Fulton County Health Department, to suspend in-class teaching and to use e-learning for all classes until at least Aug. 24. All athletic practices and games are suspended for the same period. The weight facility is closed.

The e-learning devices may be picked up for students by parents at the student’s school building as follows:

• Noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 4
• 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 5

Classes will start on E-Learning Thursday, Aug. 6.

If all goes well Rochester Schools expect to return to in-class learning on Aug. 24. If possible fall sports practices will begin that day.
