Students at two schools in the Fulton County district are moving to remote learning due to confirmed cases of COVID-19 and the number of individuals in quarantine.

All students at Bear Creek Middle School are switching to remote learning starting today. Face-to-face instruction is expected to begin again on Sept. 15, the district said in a statement.
