Dear Staff, Students, Families and Community Members,
At last night’s board meeting, the RSU 56 School Board voted to approve changes to the RSU 56 Return to Classroom Instruction Framework. These changes allow the opportunity for buildings and/or grade levels not affected by COVID outbreaks to return to in-person instruction without remaining out for 14 days.
With the board approved changes to the Framework:
Dirigo Elementary School will return to in-person instruction for students in grades Pre K-4 on Tuesday, January 19, 2021. Grade 5 students will return to in-person instruction on Monday, January 25, 2021.
Dirigo High School will return to in-person instruction for all students on Tuesday, January 19, 2021.
Dirigo Middle School will return to in-person instruction for all students on Friday, January 22, 2021.
As always, students and staff who were instructed to quarantine, should continue to do so and not return to school until after their quarantine ends. Please monitor yourself and your students for symptoms of COVID. Do not attend in-person if you have symptoms or have been in contact with someone with COVID.
Following CDC guidelines outside of school will help us to remain in school. Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Pam Doyen, Superintendent of Schools
