WATERTOWN, S.D. (KWAT) — After a two week shift to distance learning from home, Watertown High School students return to the classroom on Monday.

A spike in COVID-19 numbers caused school district officials to get kids out of high school classrooms last month.

Superintendent Dr. Jeff Danielsen talked about the situation.

Danielsen says they’ve been able to quiet things down.

The shift to distance learning applied only to the high school. Danielsen was asked if they’ve been able to keep COVID out of the other school buildings.

Danielsen says extra-curricular activities that were put on hold at the high school will resume Monday.
