Yarmouth High School will reopen on Tuesday, November 26 for a regular day of school.
Investigations by Yarmouth Fire Department and other fire departments from around the region, including tests for carbon monoxide, combustible gases, and other air contaminants, have produced perfect results, with readings of 0.00 for all harmful substances.
YHS families will be receiving a letter from the school administration with additional information.
We have made the decision to dismiss students from Yarmouth High School at 1:35 today. Although air quality tests have produced excellent results, we are experiencing a concerning number of students indicating that they do not feel well. Out of a continued abundance of caution, we are going to close the facility for the day and call for further investigation by public safety professionals.
Students will be able to gather their belongings as they leave the building, and buses will make an additional run to take students home who require transportation.
The Fire Department has concluded its testing and determined it is safe for students and staff to return to Yarmouth High School. We will be adjusting the schedule so all students will be able to eat lunch and finish the school day at the normal time.
Yarmouth High School staff and students have been relocated to other schools at this time. We anticipate making a decision on our ability to return to the high school soon.
Good morning. Yarmouth High School has been evacuated as a precaution regarding an air quality complaint. Yarmouth Fire Department is on the scene to ensure the building is safe, and we will keep you updated.
Please remember to vote at Yarmouth Town Hall today in the Special Election to fill one vacant seat on the Yarmouth School Committee. Polls are open until 8:00 p.m.
