Statement from the Superintendent - April 10, 2020

​April 10, 2020
 
 
 
Dear Parent/Guardian:
 
On Tuesday, April 7, Commissioner of Education Pender Makin and Governor Janet Mills made the recommendation to continue distance learning services until the end of the school year.  The schools within AOS 77 will follow this recommendation and services like the ones you have grown accustomed to during the previous three weeks will continue.
 
Please be advised we will be observing April Vacation week as a vacation and will only be distributing meals according to the regular schedule in your town.  I feel that both families and staff who have been working diligently during these challenging days need that respite.
 
At the present, no formal decision has been made regarding graduation exercises for 8th grade and 12th grade students, however, I will be asking the respective school boards for their input.  
 
Thank you for your support during these challenging times.
 
Respectfully,
 
 
 
Kenneth Johnson
Superintendent of Schools
