MATTAPOISETT More kids from out of town are coming to Center and Old Hammondtown schools.
The Mattapoisett School Committee voted on May 3 to admit three additional school choice students into Mattapoisett elementary schools, adding to the eight school choice students already enrolled.
School choice is a program by which families can opt to send students to schools outside of the school district in which they live.
Mattapoisett currently has three school choice students in both kindergarten and first grade, and one in second grade.
Kindergarteners will be prioritized for the three school choice spots, though first and second graders may also be accepted.
New cases of covid rose in both Mattapoisett and Rochester, as cases lowered in Marion last week.
According to state data, new cases in Marion have decreased from 13 last week to four this week. Despite the decrease of new cases, the town’s number of active cases earned it a yellow risk designation this week, moving up from green last week.
In the state’s color-coded covid risk designation system, less than or equal to 10 active covid cases designates a community as gray, between 10 and 15 cases puts a community in green, less than or equal to 25 cases marks a town as yellow, and communities with more than 25 cases are designated as red.

Five new cases in the old Rochester Regional High School, Junior High and Old Hammondtown School were reported in a Jan. 4 press release by the Old Rochester Regional School District.
Three cases were found at the high school, with one each at the Junior High and Old Hammondtown.
All schools will operate as normal following the cases.
The positive individuals in the cases were last in school on Dec. 18 in the Old Hammondtown and Junior High cases, and Dec. 23 in the High School cases. School was out of session for the holiday break from Dec. 24 to Jan. 3, so it is likely that the cases were caused by spread within the community.
