COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. — UPDATE 11/30/2020 - With thanksgiving break over, Collierville Middle and High schoolers are continuing remote learning through the end of the week.
The schools were supposed to reopen November 30 after switching over to remote learning before the break due to COVID-19 outbreaks. However, the district extended remote learning this week and added West Collierville Middle to the list.
This will allow students who got COVID over Thanksgiving to stay home if they begin showing symptoms.
Students are expected to return in person next Monday.
