  • 2023-24 Calendar Revisions

    Good Afternoon, I hope you and your family are doing well. The latest storm resulted in the seventh cancellation this school year, which would make the last student day Monday, June 26 and workshop day Tuesday, June 27, 2023.  In an effort to end the school year closer to the scheduled closing date, our Board approved the following revisions to the 2022-23 district calendar: 10 one-hour extensions to the instructional day for the weeks of May 22-26 and June 5-9 to equal two instructional days and postpone the scheduled closing date five days, making the last student day June 22 and the last workshop day June 23. Please see the revised calendar included with this message  I appreciate your understanding and realize these changes may present challenges for some families and staff. Please contact your child’s school if you have questions or we can help. Thank you, Steve Nolan

  • COVID-19 Update

    Good Morning, We look forward to a new and exciting school year and want to share some information to help ensure a healthy and safe return to school. We have revised our  COVID-19 Guidance  to align with the U.S. CDC  Operational Guidance for K-12 Schools and Early Care and Education Programs to Support Safe In-Person Learning  updated on August 11, 2022. Please review the RSU 40  COVID-19 Guidance  prior to the start of school and contact us if you have questions. Masks  will remain optional in RSU 40 schools until or unless the State of Maine and/or the Maine Department of Education declares a health emergency. However, masks are required indoors for days 6 through 10 for individuals testing positive for COVID-19 upon returning from isolation  or until individuals test negative on two antigen tests taken 48 hours apart. COVID-19  Community Levels  are currently  low  for Lincoln and Knox counties. Please see the information below for prevention steps you can take based on the COVID-19 Community Level. We will send an updated message if the COVID-19 Community Level changes for Lincoln or Knox counties. You can order free COVID-19 rapid tests from  COVID.gov  or  Project ACT  or contact your child’s school to see if test  kits are available. Please monitor for  symptoms of COVID-19  and  stay home if you are sick . Thank you for helping to keep our students and staff healthy and safe! Individual-Level Prevention Steps You Can Take Based on Your COVID-19 Community Level   At all COVID-19 Community Levels: Stay up to date  on vaccination, including recommended booster doses. Maintain  ventilation improvements. Avoid contact with people who have suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Follow recommendations for  isolation  if you have suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Follow the recommendations for  what to do if you are exposed  to someone with COVID-19. If you are at  high risk of getting very sick , talk with a healthcare provider about additional prevention actions.   When the COVID-19 Community Level is Medium or High: If you are at  high risk of getting very sick , wear a high-quality  mask or respirator  (e.g., N95) when indoors in public If you have household or social contact with someone at high risk for getting very sick, consider self-testing to detect infection before contact, and consider wearing a high-quality mask when indoors with them   When the COVID-19 Community Level is High: Wear a high-quality mask or respirator. If you are at high risk of getting very sick, consider avoiding non-essential indoor activities in public where you could be exposed.
