SAMS Positive Case COVID-19 & SAHS Update
I’m writing to provide you with an update on SAHS, as well as a positive case we were informed of today at SAMS.
SAHS: Late last night we were made aware of another positive student at SAHS. This second positive case impacted additional staff and students who were asked today to quarantine. As a result of these last two positive cases, we have asked 10 staff and 95 students to quarantine.
Today the high school worked remotely per their red plan schedule. Our intention is to return to in-person instruction on Monday following our current hybrid schedule. Because of the high number of impacted staff (school and non-school exposures), there will be challenges staffing the school on Monday. We be working over the weekend on staffing and will make a final determination on Sunday. We will reach out to our SAHS parents and students on Sunday afternoon via text, phone, and email.
SAMS: Today we were informed that a SAMS student tested positive for COVID-19. District nursing and administrative staff contacted Maine CDC and determined that 13 staff and 14 students will need to quarantine as a result of this exposure.
