Officials at Vassalboro Community School and Clinton Elementary School have announced single cases of COVID-19 in individuals associated with the schools.

In a letter to the community, Vassalboro Superintendent Alan Pfeiffer has written that a cohort in one grade level will attend school remotely for the next 10 days.

“We are informing you out of an abundance of caution,” Pfeiffer wrote. “As always, our first priority is the safety of our students and staff, and we will always err on the side of caution.”

Vassalboro Community School enrolls about 400 students in kindergarten through eighth grade. The latest case of COVID-19 infection is the school’s fourth in the 2020-21 school year.
