Students don't get out for the holiday break until Dec. 22, and return Jan. 5. Masks will be required until at least Jan. 14. This comes after Union Grove Elementary suffered a COVID-19 outbreak that forced them to go back to virtual learning, according to school officials who notified parents. Masks has been optional in Iredell-Statesville Schools.
