Great news for all of our students in quarantine who develop symptoms. Besides Walgreens, Northern Lights-Sangerville has a swab site set up again. You can either make an appointment at http://northernlighthealth.org or you can just drive up.

Due to the number of students we have in quarantine we will have a workshop day for staff on Monday and remote days for students Tuesday – Friday with a return to in-person instruction on the 20th. On Monday Students will get instructions from their school for the week. If you need assistance with a hot spot or if you would like to pick up lunches for the week call the school on Monday.
Due to remote learning next week, there will not be any practices or games next week. Our plan is to resume all practices and games on Monday, September 20. Stay safe and have a great weekend!
Today's home MS field hockey game vs Ridgeview has been canceled.
Good morning. As many of you know, having received a robocall from either myself or Mr. Keane late last evening, we are currently processing several positive covid cases. We wanted to get the message out to those students needing to quarantine as of today and are still calculating return dates. Please do NOT call the schools. I will send a call out with email letter as soon as I have return date information.
Also, because we have not completed a full round of pooled tests (will be complete as of today), the pool will not exclude your child from quarantine this week. If exposed next week, the pool will be in full effect.
Thank you for your understanding.
IEP meetings will be held as scheduled the week of 9/13. If you are a parent/guardian with a scheduled IEP meeting that week please plan on attending via ZOOM (link is on your meeting invite or advanced written notice) or by phone. Thank you!
Today's girls soccer game home verses Dexter has been canceled for today. It may be made up tomorrow starting at 3:30 if officials are available. Stay tuned!
Just a reminder to families with Special Services... All IEPs will have a ZOOM option throughout the school year as a participation option. The link is written on your invention. Parents/Guardians that wish to attend in person may do so. Any IEP team members that are not from the district or are not the parent/guardian will be asked to attend via ZOOM only.
Any questions about IEP meetings can be answered at 876-4635 or sent to the special education director at ngreene@sad4.org
Thank you!
A little update on pooled testing: We started pooled testing this week. We have sent two days' worth of samples out. I am doing the MS/HS on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and the ES Tues-Fri. Because our first round has not been fully processed, the CDC is NOT allowing us to use it as a means of not quarantining with exposure this week. By Monday I fully expect us to be in the clear. That, unfortunately, is the reason, I believe, for so many close contacts.

Until the lights have been installed and ready to go, all soccer games scheduled to be played under the lights will be played at 4:00 unless it's a Saturday game; they will be played at 1:00. I have been informed that the work will begin on September 20, for the installation of the lights. The weather will play a huge factor going forward. I do not know how long this process will take as the individual doing this work, is taking time out of his busy scheduling, to make this happen. When they are up and running, adjustments to the schedule will happen as needed.
The PCSS Open House scheduled for Thursday September 9 has been postponed until after this Covid 19 surge subsides. A new date will be sent out when we know we are in the clear. Thanks for your patience as we try to keep our community spread as minimal as possible.

MSAD #4 had an emergency school board meeting last night on 9/2/21. Our Safe Return to School plan has not changed and is posted on our website. The minutes for this meeting will be approved on 9/14/21 and then will be posted to our website. The medical community has asked for our support in keeping the community safe. As a district, we will continue to have open dialog about the best way to support our community and keep students safe while in our schools. This is a fluid process and will be re-visited by the board at least monthly.
