Dear MSAD #4 Families:
I am informing you that we will have a half day of school tomorrow the 16th followed by a closure until March 30th. This decision was made after much input form area Superintendents, the Commissioner of Education and the Center for Disease Control. As you are probably aware, the situation with COVID-19 is rapidly changing and as a school district we need to support efforts to mitigate exposure by promoting social distancing.
Our teachers have been working on continuity of education while school is closed by putting together distance learning packets and web-based learning for our students. During our half day tomorrow staff will get this information to students and make sure they have the materials and devices needed for working at home.
I am very proud of how my staff has pulled together to work through this difficult time and do what is best for our students. We will continually meet and work out more details as we progress through this situation. I will post updates as needed.
Sincerely,
Kelly MacFadyen
MSAD #4 Superintendent
