Time Sensitive Announcement: Due to today’s weather conditions, meals will be delivered and available for pick up tomorrow, 1/28. Delivery between 9:30-12:30 and pick up between 10-12:30.
Good Morning SEBRSD Community,
We are receiving word that some families did not receive the automated call and text message that were sent out shortly after 5 a.m. this morning regarding the icy road conditions causing us to pivot to remote learning for the day.
As you are all likely aware, we were extremely pleased to announce the launch of our mobile app this school year. This app offers great resources to families, including notification alerts, and significantly streamlines our communications operations. For clarification, our notification phone calls and text messages are also sent from the same platform and the contact information used to contact our families is derived directly from each student’s Power School record, where your contact information is stored. If you did not receive a text and/or phone-call, please call or email your school secretaries with your preferred mobile and/or home phone number so they can verify/update your contact information on file. This should ensure that you receive notifications going forward.
If you haven’t done so already, please be sure to download the SEBRSD app and opt-in to receive notifications at the District level to receive real-time alerts on your mobile device, as well.
Text messages delivered will come from “98901”. Phone calls will have our main 508-885-8500 callback number.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your school secretaries or the Help Desk/Technology Department.

Due to road conditions, the Spencer-East Brookfield RSD and its administrative offices will work remotely today, Wednesday, January 27, 2021. The District apologizes for the late notice. Concerns for student and staff safety arose as conditions remain icy and slick.

NOTICE: Effective 3/2/2021, UniPay (our online payment center) is transitioning to a $0.50 “per cart” price for all ACH transactions. This allows customers to pay one ACH fee regardless of the number of items in their cart, which will cost less than the price of a postage stamp.

Good Afternoon,
District administration was notified by our nursing team that a district-wide staff member, a Village School staff member, and another staff member at David Prouty High School have tested positive for COVID-19. The staff members who have tested positive for COVID-19 have not been in any of our school buildings. However, they will not return to their buildings for at least 14 days, unless they provide evidence of negative test results.
Primary symptoms of COVID-19 include shortness of breath, coughing, and fever or chills. Other symptoms include congestion, sore throat, diarrhea, abdominal pain, body aches, and loss of taste or smell. If anyone in your home begins to demonstrate any of these symptoms, please keep your child home and consult your primary care physician.
The health, safety, and well-being of our school community remains our top priority. We are following sound protocols aligned with expert health guidance to ensure we are doing everything we can to protect your health. We also want to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the importance of wearing masks, staying six feet apart from others, and regularly washing your hands.
If you have questions or need to report a positive case of Covid-19, please contact Mrs. Carrie Cashman, Lead Nurse at (508) 885-8536 or via electronic mail at: cashmanc@sebrsd.org.
Sincerely Yours,
Paul S. Haughey, Ed.D.

A COVID-19 protocol reminder for our SEBRSD community.
Good Afternoon SEBRSD Community,
We would like to let our Preschool families know that we have decided to issue a two-week credit for preschool tuition charged during the December 2020/January 2021 pivot to remote instruction. Families will see the credit applied towards their March invoices since January and February invoices have already been sent out.
A little background that most families may not be aware of is the fact that our "Cubs Corner" Preschool program is a voluntary and self-sustaining, tuition-based program. As such, the cost of the teacher salaries is funded directly from tuition received. We do realize that remote instruction during such formative years does differ from in-person instruction; however, lesson plans and delivery of instruction are still provided during remote learning. Our teachers are still hard at work generating and providing instruction, materials and resources for students each day.
We understand that these are challenging times for everyone and provide this one-time, good faith gesture, as a means to alleviate some of the pressure our parents, guardians and families in preschool are experiencing during the pandemic. Please note that we will not be able to re-extend this courtesy should we need to pivot to remote learning again. Thank you in advance for your understanding and your continued support of our program, our schools and our district.
Thank You,
Melissa Pervier
