NEW SALEM The Swift River School Committee voted five to three, with one abstention, on Thursday to enter a hybrid learning model in two phases in March.
Children in preschool through second grade will resume in-building lessons on March 1 and those in grades three through six will start March 8. Based on classroom population, classes will be divided into groups of 10 or fewer to allow for social distancing. Swift River School, which serves children of Wendell and New Salem, reportedly has 66 students.
Students will attend in-school classes on either Mondays and Tuesdays or Thursdays and Fridays. Wednesdays will be remote learning days for all. Students can remain fully in remote learning if their families so choose.
