MSAD 35 News June 9, 2021 Dear Families and Staff, First of all thanks for your hard work, patience and support during this school year; it was tough but here we are, June 2021 and things are definitely looking brighter! A couple of notes on the upcoming vaccination clinic: COVID Vaccination Clinics will be held on June 11 at MHS from 8:30-10:00 and MMS from 10:15-12:15. Your student’s vaccination card is at the site (school) where they received their first dose. If you need to get the second dose at a different site, please contact the RN at the school where the first dose was administered to pick up their card. Your student can receive the first dose during this clinic. You will need to fill out the consent form for them to bring with them. If you need a consent form, please contact me Judy Doran RN or your school nurse and we’ll send one out to you. You are welcome to be present and can fill out a consent on site but your attendance is not required. The Pfizer vaccine has received Emergency Use Authorization for children aged 12 and up and is widely available in Maine if you decide to hold off on getting your child vaccinated now but would like to in the future. COVID-19 Vaccinations are our ticket out of this pandemic. The more people who are vaccinated, the less restrictions we all face and the safer our communities are for all people. I often get too wordy in these letters, but today I’m going to keep it short. Thanks again! Thank you Bus Drivers! Thank you Custodians! Thank you Teachers! Thank you Ed Techs! Thank you Admin Assists! Thank you Food Service Folks! Thank you Families! Thank you Kids! Thank you Admin! Thank you Nurses, every one in every building! You all put in mighty effort and kept up with us as we tried to figure out next best steps. I think the next best step is taking a minute to breathe, giving ourselves credit for this year, allowing some down time, being patient with one another and moving forward. OK maybe some ice cream, parks, mountains, beach, music, dining, hiking, connecting with friends, family, whatever…...just remember you’ve all been through the wringer, some more than others. Take the time you need to breathe and move forward. Thanks again and here’s to summer! The MSAD35 Nursing Team

June 4, 2021 Good Afternoon, Today, Friday, June 4, 2021, I am pleased to announce that Governor Janet Mills, working in collaboration with the Maine Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Maine Center for Disease Control, has updated the State of Maine risk assessment color coding-system, maintaining York County’s status as “Green”. I am even more pleased that the Department of Health and Human Services will discontinue updating the biweekly coding system and will move to an “as needed” model. I take this change as another indication that we are making great strides in overcoming this pandemic. What a long road this has been! All schools will continue to provide in-person instruction, as outlined in our Reopening Plan. The buildings will continue to follow their published schedules. Thank you all for your continued support of our students, staff and schools. Please remember: Let’s all fly like H.A.W.K.S. H - Hands, wash them when you enter or leave a room. A - Assess - Self Assess your health every day. If you are sick, stay home. W - Wellness - Be aware of your mental and physical wellness. K - Keep your masks on. S - Social Distance We are all in this together!! ------------------ As this pandemic continues to stress, not only to us as individuals, but also as an entire country, we believe that is important to celebrate some of the wonderful things taking place in our schools. Hawks High Fives are an effort to share some of those wonderful things happening across the district. If you would like to share something about a volunteer, staff member or a student, please reach out to Mrs. Vicki Stewart (Vicki.stewart@rsu35.org). A Hawks High Five to all of our Marshwood Seniors. Today is your last day of academics at Marshwood High School. I hope that you enjoy your preparation for the graduation ceremony next week. I know the school year may not have been what you had envisioned, but thank you for showing such resiliency. I am so proud of all of you! Have a wonderful weekend! John Caverly

May 27, 2021 Dear Families and Students, Marshwood Fall sports sign-up portals on FormREleaf will be opened Thursday May 27th, 2021 for anyone looking to play sports at Marshwood High School and/or Marshwood Middle School next year. Please go on before June 4th to ensure we have accurate numbers for students looking to participate. All High School Fall practices begin Monday, August 16th. All schedules with games and practices will be located on www.digitalsports.com. These will be updated by June 11th. All Fall Middle School practices will begin Wednesday, September 8th and all schedules will be located on digitalsports.com as well. Again, please sign up your child during the May 27th through June 4th date so we can get accurate information on teams needed. Coaching contact information will be located on www.formreleaf.com on the Marshwood site so you may contact coaches directly with questions.

May 24, 2021 Good Afternoon, On Friday, May 21, 2021 Governor Janet Mills, working in collaboration with the Maine Department of Education and the Maine Center for Disease Control, maintained the coding of York County as “Green” when updating the State of Maine risk assessment color-coding system. All schools will continue to provide in-person instruction, as outlined in our Reopening Plan. Each building will continue to follow their published schedule. The Maine Department of Education has scheduled the next update of the State of Maine risk assessment color-coding system for Friday, June 4, 2021. The State also reserves the right to update this coding when they deem necessary. I want to inform the district that an individual associated with Marshwood High School has recently tested positive for the COVID 19 virus. All school-related close contacts have been contacted. Questions for Marshwood High School can be directed to Principal Robert Scully by calling (207) 384-4500. I also want to share with the district that we will continue to monitor and respond to Maine Department of Education and CDC guidelines as they are updated. As information is released there is potential that public messaging in the media may conflict with the reality of implementing those recommendations and changes in the context of our schools. This is particularly difficult as Marshwood High School looks at end of the year opportunities for seniors. For example, recently released verbiage would lead people to believe that schools could hold traditional end of the year activities, such as a dance or prom. Although this is technically true, what isn’t shared is that MSAD 35 would be required by the Maine Department of Education and the Maine CDC to contact trace in the event of a positive case in attendance. There is potential that this could result in a significant number of unvaccinated students being required to quarantine for 10 days, resulting in them missing end of the year events, such as graduation. With that being said, we are in contact with the Department of Education and Maine CDC multiple times a week to create plans to provide as many opportunities as we can, while working within the parameters we are given. We are expecting an update early this week and we are hopeful that the requirements will be revised and clarified for outdoor events. Thank you for your continued support of our students, staff and schools. Please remember: Let’s all fly like H.A.W.K.S. H - Hands, wash them when you enter or leave a room. A - Assess - Self Assess your health every day. If you are sick, stay home. W - Wellness - Be aware of your mental and physical wellness. K - Keep your masks on.

Thank you for the hard work, thoughtfulness, and special treats and surprises throughout the week! From the Marshwood Middle School Staff A Hawks High Five to District Nurse Judy Doran and all the school nurses for working hard to keep Marshwood schools safe and open. From Kate O'Brien Have a great week -John Caverly

There is still time to sign up, see directions below. Sign Up Instructions Email Northern Light Health at HCHCovid@northernlight.org and put Marshwood Schools in the Subject Line. Put the number of children you need vaccinated in the body of the email. This will generate a request that they send you sign up documentation. The signup process can be done from your cell phone or computer. You are encouraged to sign up at your earliest convenience, however Northern Light Health must receive your email by 8:00 a.m. on May 20. Once you receive the form, it should be completed and returned by 2:00 pm on May 20 You will receive an electronic consent form, which includes screening questions, and also a copy of the Pfizer information sheet ( a fact sheet on the vaccine for you to review).
