(KAIR)--Atchison's Trinity Lutheran School will move to virtual learning beginning Wednesday, October 14 through October 23.

The decision was announced Sunday in a post on the school's Facebook page.

The statement said several staff members and students have tested positive for COVID-19 or developed symptoms in the last few days at the private Pre-K-8 grade school.  The Day School Committee recommended they hold school virtually to mitigate any future exposure or infections.

Parent/teacher conferences for Monday, October 13 and Tuesday evening, October 14 have been canceled.

The statement said they hope to return to in-person learning October 26.
