Marshwood High School Good News Mrs. Michaud's Photography Class Friendgiving Breakfast "Mrs. Michaud's Photography class has been working hard this semester learning all sorts of concepts and techniques of photography. The class decided to learn about food photography including how to stage your photo, props you should/can include to enhance your photo, and how to make it look more professional. They had a "Friendsgiving" breakfast and everyone brought in a breakfast item. Then they were able to compose their photos complete with staging and props, and take photos of each breakfast item to help tell a story. It was a delicious way to put their knowledge to good use."

) MSAD 35 Emergency Snow Day Procedures For pdf: MSAD 35 Emergency Snow Day Procedures https://5il.co/1l1v7 November 18, 2022 Dear Members of the Marshwood Community, As the northern part of Maine experienced its first significant winter weather event this week, I wanted to send out a short note about MSAD 35’s inclement weather procedures. Over the past few years, other school districts across the state and country have moved away from traditional snow days and adopted remote learning days. To that end, MSAD 35 will continue to have traditional snow days. Allowing students, the opportunity to enjoy the thrill of a snow day and go out and enjoy the snow is something that I believe they need and all look forward to. I wanted to share the process that MSAD 35 will be using when assessing driving conditions during winter weather. A number of variables have to be considered as weather conditions in South Eliot, which may vary greatly compared to Rodier Road in South Berwick. As a result, MSAD 35 has always partnered with the Town of Eliot and the Town of South Berwick Emergency Management Directors, as well as each community’s Chief of Police, Fire Chief, and Public Works Director to create clear emergency protocols in the event of a severe weather event or an unanticipated emergency. These protocols provide clear collaborative communication between the towns, the State of Maine, and the school district. In essence, I will gather as much information as possible to make an informed decision regarding our school’s opening, closing, or having a delayed start time and then communicate that information by 5:45 am with members of our school district. Over the past 9 years, some families have questioned why the phone calls to cancel school are so early in the morning; the reality is that our school buses begin their morning routine as early as 5:50 am with the first students being picked up at approximately 6:20 am. Some children are required to walk to their bus stops, up to ½ mile, and will be leaving their homes by 6:00 am. Below you will see listed the various outlets where MSAD 35 will post information in the event of a change in our school’s daily status. ● Posting on the district’s website front page: www.rsu35.org ● Posting on the district’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Marshwood-Schools/258524500918045 ● Notification via TV channels WCSH Channel 6, WMTW Channel 8 & WGME Channel 13 ● Phone message and email via Thrillshare Earlier in October, I used the Thrillshare calling feature to share important information with the community. That phone call created some confusion as the calling number appeared to originate from Little Rock, Arkansas. I am pleased to share with you that we have worked with Thrillshare and they have assured the District that those emergency phone calls will originate from our local number. It is also important to note that weather conditions can vary across our district and there may be times that you as a parent, may decide to keep your child home when school is open because you feel the conditions are unsafe. I want to assure you that the district will support you in your decision, as we believe that if you as a parent do not feel it is safe to have your child or children attend school, you should keep your children home. If you decide to keep your student home due to unsafe weather conditions, the absence will be considered “excused”. Any work that may be missed may be made up in a reasonable period of time. I also want to provide some clarity for three different scenarios that have caused some confusion in the past that may occur again due to the timing of the inclement weather. - Two Hour Delays – A two-hour delay will result in all schools moving their start times forward 2 hours. Bus pickup times will be 2 hours later than normal. There will be no morning Pre-Kindergarten with a Two-Hour Delay. - Two Hour Delay on a Delayed Start Thursday – A two-hour delay on an Early Release/Delayed Start Thursday will result in all schools starting two hours later than a typical day. For example, Marshwood Middle School typically starts at 7:30 am, but if a 2-hour delay were needed, school would start at 9:30. The Elementary School would start two hours later and still release at the Thursday early release time. - Sanford Regional Technical Center / other out-of-district schools are open but MSAD 35 is closed – When this occurs, there will be no school for all MSAD 35 students. Safety is the priority. Providing a safe environment for our students and staff is our priority. Thank you for your continued support! Sincerely, John S. Caverly, M.Ed. Superintendent of Schools
