The move doesn t take effect until what I like to call April 8th , but the change is a welcomed one to parents and students alike. It has been a crazy year for thousands of Maine students as most school have shifted to a completely remote or a hybrid learning model.

According to the Kennebec Journal, the school will begin it s full-time in-person learning on Thursday, April 8th. Superintendent Alan Pfeiffer said,

SOUTH CHINA The coronavirus pandemic continues to run rampant across the state, but a handful of local schools are participating in an increased testing effort to help stop the spread.
The Abbott rapid antigen COVID-19 tests are made for individuals exhibiting at least one of the most common COVID-19 symptoms or two of the less common symptoms. The testing process involves self-swabbing the lower portion of one’s nostrils and is processed on site by adding six drops of a liquid reagent to the swab on a test card. The tests are free of cost to students and staff.
