BRASHER FALLS â St. Lawrence Central School Superintendent Christopher Rose says he may be seeking to add positions who could work with students who are learning remotely.
âWeâre looking at the possibility of coming to you at our next May meeting. Weâre looking at adding some possible positions,â he said during his budget hearing, which was attended by some board of education members.
Among the considerations using available federal funds are teacher assistants to help students who may be 100% remote learners next year if their families choose. That would allow the regular staff to remain on task with students in their classrooms.

MASSENA â Two area school districts have received funding for mindfulness programs thanks to the expanded mission and new organizational component of the Massena Hospital Foundation, called the North Country Wellness Resource.
Executive Director Julia Rose said a $25,000 donation from SeaComm in January has allowed the North Country Wellness Resource to provide funding for mindfulness programs in the Massena and St. Lawrence central school districts.
Mindfulness programs are used to help students and staff deal with the mental stresses faced on instruction, either remote or in person, because of COVID-19.
Massena Central Schoolâs funding will support the creation of mindfulness rooms for students and staff in each building, to go along with the schoolâs mindfulness program that was initiated this year. They are working with the Holistic Life Foundation Akwesasne for the program.
BRASHER FALLS â The St. Lawrence and Heuvelton school districts have joined other local districts in switching to remote instruction this week after positive cases of COVID-19 were identified in their buildings.
In a Wednesday night Facebook message, St. Lawrence Central School Superintendent Christopher Rose said they were notified at 5 p.m. that they had a positive case of COVID-19 in the high school, and middle and high school students would pivot to remote instruction for Thursday and Friday to give them time to coordinate contract tracing with the St. Lawrence County Public Health Department.
âThe person that tested positive has not been in school since last week but the timeframe falls within the ten days of mandatory quarantine for those who may have been exposed,â Mr. Rose wrote.
