Public Information and Announcements

I’m writing this evening to let you know that the district was informed of 3 additional cases of Covid-19 today; one case at Bloomfield Elementary School, one case at Mill Stream Elementary School, and one case at Skowhegan Area High School.

All but one of today’s cases were directly attributed to contact that occurred outside of school. One of the cases was not clearly linked to a case outside of school and may potentially have been in-school transmission from a prior case. Nursing staff and administration worked throughout the day to determine that no additional students were close contacts of these new cases of Covid-19, and therefore none were required to quarantine from school as a result.

I’m writing this afternoon to let you know that the district had four additional cases of Covid-19 since last Friday; one case at Mill Stream Elementary School one case at the Skowhegan Area Middle School, and two cases at the Skowhegan Area High School. None of these cases are believed to be a result of in-school transmission of the virus.

Over the course of the weekend and today, Nursing staff and administration worked to determine that 26 individuals were close contacts of these four cases. All individuals having to quarantine from school have been contacted directly. 

I’m writing this evening to let you know that the district was informed of two additional cases of Covid-19 today; one case at Mill Stream Elementary School and one additional case at the Skowhegan Area Middle School. Neither case is believed to be a result of in-school transmission of the virus.

Nursing staff and administration worked to determine that 5 individuals were close contacts and therefore we're required to quarantine from school.

I’m writing to let you know that the district will be offering parents the opportunity to have their child take part in Pooled Testing at school. Pooled testing is a tool that helps identify positive COVID-19 cases in a school before the positive individual has a major impact on others in the school. Pooled testing also reduces the need to quarantine in some situations when a student is a close contact.

I’m writing this evening to let you know that the district was informed of one additional case of Covid-19 today at Skowhegan Area Middle School.

Nursing staff and administration were able to determine that there were no close contacts.

I’m writing this afternoon to let you know that the district was informed of two additional cases of Covid-19 today; one case at Mill Stream Elementary School and one case at the Skowhegan Area Middle School. These new cases were again a result of contact that occurred outside of school.

There were no close contacts as a result of these two cases of Covid-19.

I’m writing this evening to let you know that the district was informed of four additional cases of COVID-19 today; one case was at Margaret Chase Smith School, one case at Mill Stream Elementary School and 2 cases with individuals not associated with a particular school. These new cases were again a result of contact that occurred outside of school.

Nursing staff and building administrators worked through the day to contact trace and follow-up with all close contacts associated with these new positive cases. Individuals identified as needing to quarantine from school have been contacted. A total of 9 individuals were asked to quarantine from school as a result of these four positive cases.
