Below is the link to the recorded Special Board Meeting held on 8/12/2020. Having both zoom and in-person meetings at once is challenging for video and audio. We are coming up with a plan to do a better job. We tried to improve the audio as much as we could but there are still parts that are difficult to hear. We ask for your patience as we work through this process.

Thank you for your questions regarding the revised school calendar, in particular, the first student week and Wednesday 9/9. The calendar is correct; there will be school for students on Wednesday, 9/9. We found it important to hold school that day since Monday is a holiday, and Tuesday is the first student day for select grades.
To clarify, the first student day for Grades K-2, 6, and 9 is Tuesday, 9/8. The first student day for Grades PreK, 3-5, 7, 8, and 10-12 is Wednesday, 9/9. Students enrolled in the CATC program will attend school at MCHS on 9/9 and 9/10; their first day at the CATC program will be Friday, 9/11.
Sincerely,
Jay Charette

Dear Parents,
Thanks for participating in our Remote Learning/Blizzard Bag Day. We would appreciate your feedback on how the day went for you and your child. Here is the parent survey:
https://forms.gle/VXemVgMEZXBuqpNX7
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.
We will start with a brief information session in the student center. After that, we will move into the gym for the Freshmen Fair! In the gym you will be able to visit tables with representatives from all our academic departments, student senate, dual enrollment and more. Tours of the school will also be provided by current students!
We are so excited to meet our incoming Freshmen and we are looking forward to welcoming all of you to the high school community!
