The RSU 38 remote learning/blizzard bag day has begun. Teachers are available through email until 3:00 pm this afternoon. We look forward to everyone's best efforts. Go Bears!
Just a reminder due to the expected poor weather all RSU 38 schools will be closed Thursday, February 27 instead we will be having a remote learning/blizzard bag day. This day will count as a school day and will not need to be made up in June. There will be no early morning alert
There was police presence for a brief period of time on the Maranacook campus late this afternoon. We followed all directions from law enforcement. This event had nothing to with the school or our students. Police arrived at the campus unannounced. All students on campus for after school activities were safe. If you have questions or concerns please contact the Superintendent's office.
Date correction from previous message - Thursday, February 27th will be the Remote Learning/Blizzard Bag Day.
Due to the expected poor weather all RSU 38 schools will be closed Thursday, February 26. Instead we will be having a Remote Learning/Blizzard Bag Day. Our teachers have prepared for this day and students have what they need. I am excited by this innovative solution to storm days and hope everyone will work to give their best effort. Remember this day will count as a school day and will not need to be made up in June. For more information please visit maranacook.org.
Dear Families,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Because of the snow day we have moved our 8th grade parent night to Tuesday 2/25 from 6-7. Pizza will be provided.
