CONWAY — The new coronavirus disease, COVID-19, is starting to hit close to home. School was canceled in the Governor Wentworth School District on Thursday, while all field trips outside of New Hampshire have been canceled in SAU 9.
SAU 9 Superintendent Kevin Richard sent a letter out to families and posted it on the SAU 9 website late Thursday afternoon to update the community about COVID-19 and its impact on the schools.
