Holyoke Community Charter School is moving to online learning next week because of an increase in coronavirus cases among students and staff.
Meantime, both students and staff will have to submit a negative COVID test to the school nurse by Tuesday.
A negative result means they will be able to return to the school the following week.
The testing sites are at Holyoke Community College, the Holyoke Health Center, and the War Memorial Building.
The new procedures come in the aftermath of the death of a 13 year old student who died because of complications from Covid19.
