Dear Spencer-East Brookfield Regional School District Learning Community Members,
I hope you are well and made time to enjoy the holiday break safely.
In an abundance of caution we will be full remote on Monday January 4 due to an increase in COVID 19 cases in both of our towns and with concerns of staffing levels. We will reassess Monday afternoon to determine if we need to be remote for an extended period of time beyond January 8th, 2021. Thank you for your patience, support and understanding during this very challenging time.
Please take care; follow public health guidelines; and remain safe!
Sincerely Yours,
Paul S. Haughey, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
From our family to yours, we wish you a safe and happy new year!
