We have contacted the RI Department of Health to determine our next course of action. 

In consultation with the School Committee Attorney, we have reached a decision to postpone today’s Crossing the Stage video recording until we have more information about the potential exposure to a number of students. 

As more information becomes available, we will keep you updated."
