MANITOU SPRINGS — The Manitou Springs School District provided an update Thursday morning that there are six confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 at Manitou Springs High School. Additionally, there are multiple other individuals who have symptoms related to COVID-19.

Out of caution, starting on Thursday, October 8, students will not be on campus. The district's plan is to return to in-person learning on Monday, October 19.

  • Manitou Springs Middle School will begin remote learning Thursday, October 8. Students will be at home and the staff will be on campus
