'I'm sorry these students did not follow our repeated admonitions and warnings, and I hope they will make the correction necessary,' a school official said.

The students who were suspended had been given multiple warnings, according to the school. First, non-vaccinated students were sent weekly emails instructing them to complete the required testing.

Suspended students can be reinstated when they show they have been tested for the virus or have been vaccinated.
