Belfast Area High School to move to remote learning for Oct 14 & 15

 October 13, 2021


Dear RSU 71 Families,


At BAHS, we are finishing the school day in person today, but there will be no practices, competitions after school today, tomorrow, and Friday.  Due to the increasing number of positive coronavirus cases at BAHS, we will need to go remote for two days, Thursday, October 14, and Friday, October 15. Therefore, all athletic and extra-curricular activities are postponed through Friday. Breakfast and lunch can be picked up curbside at BAHS between 9 and Noon on Thursday and Friday. 


We know of 13 positive cases at BAHS and are waiting to see the test results of several other students. At the moment, we have over 50 BAHS students in quarantine, with the likelihood that this number could climb considerably higher over the next few days. Our goal is to interrupt the number and frequency of classroom exposures. All students will have their 1:1 devices and attend school remotely, following the same synchronous bell schedule.  We currently intend to return to in-person instruction on Monday, October 18. All other schools will remain in school in person.


This message will be Robo-emailed to all staff at 10:20am and students, families, and the community after 10:30am.


As always, please feel free to be in touch with our administrators, school nurses, and me.
