IMPORTANT NOTICE – Effective Today January 6, 2022 RSU 10 Schools will be going back to COVID-19 protocols that were in place before vacation. The changes that came to Maine CDC/DOE from the federal government were prematurely put into the Maine Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and now DOE and CDC, including Dr. Shah, is asking for our input to continue to revise the SOP for our schools. This has NOT been settled at any level. Meanwhile, we are seeing the greatest uptick in cases we have ever seen in our schools. We have concerned parents, frightened staff, and a lack of available testing outside of school. I UNDERSTAND quarantining is frustrating and difficult for all, especially parents. Please know that as soon as we have the additional information from DOE/CDC, we will look at this in its entirety and make any necessary changes at that point. If you are not vaccinated OR not in Pool Testing, and you have a positive exposure, you will need to quarantine for 10 days. If you are not vaccinated, I urge you to sign up for Pool Testing. If you have tested positive Monday, 1/3/22 through yesterday, Wednesday, 1/5/22, and were told that there would be 5 days of quarantining, you will need a negative test to return after the fifth day. The other option is to return to school after 10 days of quarantine. PLEASE if you are frustrated with this change DO NOT take it out on our nurses. They haveone of the most difficult jobs there is right now.

There will be a 1 hour delay in RSU 10 schools today, Thursday December 16

At the school board meeting tonight, the school board voted to adjust the school calendar to allow for two weeks off in December (December 20th through January 2nd). The days moved will be made up in June. This means our last day of school before holiday break will be this Friday, December 17th. Please contact the main office if you have any questions.

RSU #10 would like to share this statement, written by Ryan Casey . Many of you may have heard that there was a threat made against our school at the school board meeting on Monday night. It is true that a threat was made. It is also true that racial slurs and hate speech were used. We never condone the use of that type of language and work hard everyday to be an anti-racist and anti-bias district. RSU #10 has, and always will be, entirely devoted to protecting all of our kids.
