Good afternoon, this is Kathy Harris-Smedberg, interim superintendent of the Bangor School Department.

I am reaching out to let you know that one or more people at Fairmount School and Vine Street School have confirmed cases of COVID-19. Fortunately, there are NO close contacts within the school, and students and staff are able to continue their normal learning pathways. I repeat, there are no close contacts.

Please continue to contact the administration or school nurse if you or your child test positive or have been in contact with a confirmed case. Continue to wear your masks, maintain a safe physical distance, wash your hands often, and continue to practice healthy hygiene.

Please stay safe and be well.
