Shoreham-Wading River High School will be closed to in-person learning for the next 10 days.
On the district's website, officials said the high number of students and staff now in quarantine has forced the school to switch to virtual learning until Nov. 11.
News 12 has been told there are 125 students and 11 staff members under quarantine and three students have tested positive for COVID-19.
School officials say the three students that tested positive all attended some sort of social gathering last weekend.  
The superintendent told parents, “What students do over the weekend and after school matters. As we have found out, it impacts our ability to remain open daily for all students.”
Officials are urging all parents of students who attended the gathering to get tested and contact the school if they test positive.
All of the other schools and buildings are open.
