The number of schools to confirm Covid cases across Greater Manchester has now reached 294.
For most children it's the start of the fourth week back since the summer, yet thousands have now been sent home to isolate following positive cases among pupils, staff or both.
Many schools have been putting contingency plans in place to make sure children are able to work from home should the time come.
Closures confirmed by the Manchester Evening News today include Dean Trust Wigan, which has been forced to close for a week after a 'significant number' of staff tested positive for Covid, and Loreto High in Chorlton, where Year 7s are isolating after a confirmed case.
At the University Collegiate School in Bolton, Years 7 to 11 are now isolating, with just the sixth form running at normal capacity, and at Burnage Academy for Boys, Years 7 and 10 are now at home.
St Ambrose Barlow RC High in Swinton sent a number of Year 11 pupils home to isolate on Friday and today, Monday, children in Years 7 and 10 were also told to stay off while staff identify the close contacts of confirmed cases in those years.
At Moorside High, also in Swinton, Year 9s have been told to stay home due to a staff shortage in the humanities department.

A spokesperson for Consilium Academies, the Multi-Academy Trust which Moorside High is part of, said: "A member of the department – who has not been in close contact with the pupils – tested positive for Covid-19. So, a number of teaching staff are self-isolating for two weeks as an extra precaution.
"None of the students in this year group are isolating due to Covid. This risk management procedure has been put in place to ensure no child goes without education while a number of staff in the science department are off."
Some schools which already had a number of children isolating have sent further groups home, including Stretford High, where Year 11 are now home learning and Wardle Academy in Rochdale, where Year 10s have been affected.

Borussia Dortmund remain adamant that Jadon Sancho will not be sold to Manchester United with just one week remaining in the transfer window - reports suggest.
Sancho remains United's top target but time is running out to complete a deal for the England international. United have made just one major signing this summer, the £40million addition of Donny van de Beek from Ajax, ahead of next week's October 5 deadline.
MEN Sport understand the Reds reached a breakthrough in negotiations over personal terms and agents fees for the England international but are still to meet Dortmund's £108million valuation of their star forward. They remain hopeful that can complete a deal ahead of next week's deadline.
However, Sky Sports claim Dortmund will not entertain any offers. They report Dortmund will not allow Sancho to leave even if United up their offer to match their valuation, insisting a transfer "is not happening" this summer.
The Bundesliga side believe they are under no pressure to sell and believe they can generate more transfer funds next summer when the market may have recovered following the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, they expect more clubs to be interested in the forward which could drive his price up.
Elsewhere, reports claim United could look to re-sign Bournemouth star Joshua King if they fail to sign Sancho before the deadline.
The 28-year-old was a target for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the January transfer window but United failed to reach an agreement with the Cherries, opting to sign Odion Ighalo on loan instead.
King stated he is still hopeful he can return to Old Trafford and talkSPORT report United are monitoring his situation. Premier League clubs can trade with clubs in the EFL until October 16 meaning a deal could be completed past Monday's deadline.
MEN Sport understand King is not a priority target.

A man downloaded an 'enormous ' amount of extremist material including videos explaining how to create a suicide vest , despite previously being warned by counter-terrorism officers , a court heard .
Liam Fenn , 21 , came onto the radar of the Prevent scheme after they became aware of his 'fascination ' with Islamic extremism .
He had sent emails to the Jihadist network Al-Muhajiroun asking about 'how best to conduct Jihad ' .
Police went to his home in Wigan and warned Fenn , who is autistic , about the dangers of viewing extremist videos , and offered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Bolton so he could investigate his interests legally .
Undeterred by the warning , he went on to download videos and documents which instructed how best to construct a suicide vest , depicted executions and beheadings , and celebrated acts of terror including the 2016 terrorist attack in Nice , which killed 86 people .
Fenn 's lawyer said the defendant had an 'academic ' perspective and had 'no interest ' in carrying out acts of terror himself .
Manchester Crown Court heard that Fenn , then 17 , told officers who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he would 'consider their offer ' of support .
About three years later , on March 24 , police went to the address again and seized computers and mobile phones .

After being arrested , Fenn started talking about the September 11 terror attacks 'unprompted ' , saying that Osama Bin Laden had been 'misquoted ' , prosecutor Alex Leach said .
Fenn later said he was 'very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because he was on his computer 'all the time ' and was 'living in a fantasy world ' , the court heard .

It included issues of Rumiyah , an online propaganda magazine used by Islamic State .
Topics included how to conduct a vehicle attack , how best to carry out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cocktail , how to take hostages and another document explaining how to avoid detection .
Videos were also recovered which contained a 'detailed demonstration ' on how to manufacture an explosive vest , and 'encouraged ' acts of terrorism .
Prosecutors said Fenn had originally become known to Prevent because of 'comments ' he made .
