RSU 2 REMOTE LEARNING DAY Thursday 12/17/20:
Due to WABI 5 predicting 4 to 8 inches of snow tomorrow, falling just before the morning commute and ending just after the late afternoon commute, RSU 2 will have a remote learning day tomorrow.
We are making the announcement now so that families have time to plan for childcare with remote learning tomorrow. Our staff have been preparing for remote learning support tomorrow already today.
The last student day of the school year remains June 10th as this remote learning day does not add another day to the student calendar.

CONTACT TRACING UPDATE:
As of today, 6 of our 7 schools have been touched by Covid 19 since September. The remote learning lengths have been varied because in each situation the positive case has had a different level of impact (based on # of contacts and their roles). We have been relatively lucky. This week one case related to RMHS had no impact on the school schedule as the positive case was not in school during the contagious period. Today, one case connected to MMS is creating a remote learning situation for the next three school days Mon, Tues and Mon 11/30, with an anticipated return to regular hybrid schedule on Tuesday 12/1.
Please do all you can during Thanksgiving week (and beyond) to help stop the spread of the virus. Mask wearing, physical distancing, wellness activities, and getting a flu shot are more important than ever.
Take Care.
MMS CONTACT TRACING
Due to one positive case connected to MMS, all students will be remote learning next Monday and Tuesday, as well as Monday 11/30. At this time we anticipate a return to the regular hybrid schedule beginning Tuesday 12/1/20.
Principal Barter and/or teachers will send a separate message with remote learning instructions for students and families.
DES has no power. Staff and students will try to work remote today.
