Dec 17, 2020 AMESBURY â The school district's five buildings will be closed to students for the rest of the calendar year after the School Committee voted 6-1 on Tuesday night to shift the district into a remote learning model until January. Students will attend class remotely Thursday and Friday as well as Monday through Wednesday next week before beginning the winter break Dec. 24. In-person hybrid learning is scheduled to begin once again Jan. 4. High-priority students will, however, attend class in person for the rest of the week. They will begin learning remotely with the rest of the students beginning Monday. Acting Superintendent Elizabeth McAndrews said reduced staffing at Amesbury Middle School prompted her to move that school to a remote learning model Friday.
