Good Afternoon,
The Fair Haven Union High School will be fully remote on Monday, February 22nd. The air exchange that supplies fresh air to many of the classrooms is broken. We are hoping this will only impact in-person learning on Monday and we can return to regular operations on Tuesday the 23rd. Stafford will run as normal as will athletic practices as the gym is not impacted. Meal pick-up will be available between 7:00-8:00 am on Monday morning in front of the high school. For anyone interested in receiving meals and unable to pick-up please contact the school. We will keep you posted if anything should change.
Best,
Brooke Farrell, Superintendent

A message from the Vermont Department of Health:
The Health Department has detected an increase in COVID-19 activity in Rutland County during the last two weeks.
What we know is:
Rutland City and some surrounding towns now have evidence of increased rates, multiple household clusters and workplaces with cases.
Surrounding towns with increased rates include Benson, Pittsford, Castleton, West Haven and Fair Haven.
At this time we are seeing an increased number of cases that are not known to be associated with an outbreak, which is an indication of more widespread community transmission. We are sharing this information to encourage community-wide public health interventions.
Our area is seeing an increase in COVID-19 activity. Take these prevention steps to help slow the spread:
-Stay home if you are sick.
-Wash your hands often.
-Keep your social circle to only the people you live with.
-Stay at least 6 feet apart from people you do not live with.
-Wear a mask any time you are around people you do not live with.
