“The virus was most likely contracted outside of the school environment. The student was asymptomatic but did attend school last week Monday through Thursday,” the principal wrote.
The student was recently in the school but did not take a bus.
While Neshaminy has started classes virtually, there have been in-person orientation days for students.

The Bucks County Department of Health has begun contact tracing after the district turned over lists of close contacts and classroom seating charts, Sokol said.
This month, a student tested positive for COVID-19 after attended orientation at Maple Point Middle School and a staff member Pearl Buck Elementary School tested positive.
