Friday Update 12/18/2020

                                                                  

Friday, December 18, 2020



Dear RSU 71 Students, Families, Staff, School Board, and Community Members, 


This week's update contains information about changes to Maine schools' standard operating procedures (SOP) around COVID-19 and some good news in the area of staffing and ventilation. It will be the last update until Friday, January 8, unless we have a positive case of the Coronavirus or an outbreak in our community. This message will be Robo-emailed to all families and posted on the district website and my blog.


COVID 19 Update: There are still no active cases of COVID-19 and no evidence of transmission in our RSU 71 school system. The humongous surge of COVID-19 in Maine is directly related to Thanksgiving gatherings. Over vacation, which starts after school on Tuesday, December 22 (which is a half-day for students and staff), please do everything in your power to observe all safety protocols (wear masks, maintain social distance even with loved ones, limit gatherings, wash your hands constantly) to enable us to stay in school in -person for the remainder of the winter.


Revisions have been made to the guidance provided in Maine's Framework for the Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and the current Standard Operating Procedures for any confirmed cases in our schools. Dates are added to the places within the guidance that have been revised since its initial development this summer. The SOP changes reflect the current hotline implementation in response to the CDC contact tracers' request to streamline the reporting and follow-up processes. The new SOP can be accessed here. The other changes are limited to ventilation, buses, and the use of band instruments and can be accessed here


O2 Prime Installation is finished in all locations! - Our new HVAC air filtration systems are up and running in all our schools, again thanks to pandemic funding. O2 Prime perpetually cleans surfaces and the air from germs of all kinds, including the common cold. So quite apart from the pandemic, it is a good investment.


Additional Nurses and Subs Hired - For this school year only, we have hired two additional nurses, so there a nurse in every location able to respond to coronavirus concerns. We have hired a full-time substitute in every school so that each becomes a staff member known to students and staff and on-hand to lend additional support wherever needed, be it a classroom, playground, gym, lunchroom, hallway, office, cafeteria, or kitchen. CRF monies have enabled us to hire for these positions. 


Commitment: On a personal level, I am pleased to have had my superintendent contract with RSU 71 extended through June of 2024. I love this school district a lot and am thankful for and honored by the confidence shown, and the continuity and momentum enabled.


SNOW! - I think this is the 6th winter storm in the past two-and-a-half years in which the decision needed to be made before the storm had begun. It is a surreal experience to wake before dawn and need to decide when there is nary a snowflake in the sky. I hope that students were able to get outside and play. Many thanks to Christine Stevens, Scott Packard, David Murray, Travis McAvoy, and Jeffrey Gilmore for plowing late last night to get us ready for school today.


While subsequent storm days may well be remote school days for everyone -- teachers and students are well-prepared for this eventuality -- it was my strong sense that both students and teachers were ready for a good old-fashioned snow day yesterday, and knowing we have been in-person for instruction far longer than most school systems helped me decide. Our interim directors of transportation and maintenance were out on the roads by 3:30 and 4:00 am, checking road conditions and buildings' readiness. Reading that the storm would dump a lot of snow in a short period during the school day and that there would likely be white-out conditions and poor visibility sealed the deal.


Holiday Joy - It is the last day of Hanukkah, and the Yuletide season is upon us. It is a white Christmas and a joyful time for many, but not for everyone. So many of our brothers and sisters struggle with economic hardship, and poverty has its own pernicious effects, making it hard to provide little ones with gifts from Santa and put a roasted turkey on the table, for example.


I remember that our first few Christmases with our adopted sons were very, very tough. Some of the most severe abuse had happened to them during the holidays, and they felt sure that not only would Santa not know where to find them, but also that they had been such very, very bad boys they didn't deserve presents. I will never forget the first Christmas as a family when my husband and I heard them creep down the stairs in their onesie pajamas and exclaim, "He came! Santa Claus came!"


I love that our community does so much outreach. The Belfast Rotary Club, of which I am a proud member, has an annual 100 Club to provide gifts to children in need. Our school district is also keenly aware of and committed to children and young adults who struggle. Let's hold our hearts open and do what we can to provide love, sustenance, and light for their paths into adulthood. And give them the best education we can, a leg up in the world, and a chance to change the trajectory.


Wishing you joy and peace this holiday season and sending wishes for fortitude and spirit in the New Year, one that includes our being in school as much as possible.

- Mary Alice

Friday Update: 12/11/2020

Dear RSU 71 Students, Families, Staff, School Board, and Community,  


I hope that it has been a good week for you despite the extraordinary challenges of the time.


COVID-19 Update - As of today, we have no active cases and no evidence of transmission in any of our nine sites in RSU 71. The Mills Administration released an update of its color-coded Health Advisory System that classifies counties' relative risk of COVID-19 transmission at noon today, and Waldo County is still GREEN. Nevertheless, the pestilential rampage that has come into our state with a vengeance continues to have a significant detrimental impact, throwing our lives, traditions, and plans into places of fearfulness, economic hardship, sickness, and even the death of loved ones. 


Fabulous Staff - Throughout the pandemic and across the district, our RSU 71 family of staff members have been nothing short of heroic: showing up every day and giving it their very best. It has indeed been an enormous strain on staff to summon the vast energy required to be positive sources of inspiration, education, and sturdiness for our students and one another, even as they struggle with worries, health issues, and family dilemmas. Students have been very cooperative and good, and families have been incredibly supportive partners to educators. I believe that all of us appreciate the gift of public education as never before and hope we find ways to express our appreciation to the good folks at the frontline. This recognition of public education is one of the silver linings that give us hope and strength. We value things we may have taken for granted: engaging academic content, opportunities for social and emotional growth, exploration of special interests through fun co-curricular activities, nutritious food, safe buses, clean, well-lit, and warm buildings, essential friendships, a sense of purpose, and effective management and leadership. Let's continue to do everything in our power to support educators of all types and students of all ages and styles. As this pernicious threat wears on and we get royally tired of its requirements, let's nevertheless continue to wear masks, maintain social distance, practice hand-hygiene, and limit our time-honored holiday traditions. This way, we may all be around to enjoy returning to customs and traditions during the holiday season of 2021. 


Catch-Up Growth for Students: This fall, we launched the administration of MAP (Measures of Academic Progress), using the NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association). NWEA is a non-profit organization that has assessed over 4.5 million students in 49 foreign countries, 50 states, and 3400 districts. In RSU 71 this fall, we administered Reading, Math, and Language assessments to all students in grades two through eleven. In December, all schools are using this data to help identify students most adversely affected by the pandemic this past year when we shut down in-person instruction for four months, March through June. Teachers will use this as just one data point in identifying students in need. Other measures may include:


  1. Report cards/grades/credits

  2. Teacher observations, assessments, and recommendations

  3. History of trauma and high ACE (Adverse Childhood Effects) score or BARR data (Building Assets and Reducing Risks at THMS)

  4. Counselor recommendation.

 

In January, identified students will be invited (not required) to work with teachers individually or in small groups before or after school to receive additional direct instruction. We will pay teachers and qualified ed-tech IIIs who are able and willing to work beyond the contract using pandemic funding (through CARES, CRF 1and CRF 2). This additional direct instruction will sometimes be in-person and sometimes be remote, depending on families' ability to transport students to or from school. Families without cars may still have their children participate remotely, thanks to our having 1:1 devices for all our K-12 students and hotspots provided to those in need. We will have winter and spring administration of the NWEA, too, which will give us an ability to gauge the effectiveness of our interventions and the extent to which they have elicited catch-up growth in students who have fallen behind. Unlike the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA), these tests are quick, easy to administer online, adjust to each learner individually, and provide immediate and usable results, enabling teachers to design instruction accordingly. Maine has broken up with its former assessment partner, Measured Progress, which is excellent news, as far as I am concerned. There will be no MEA assessment window this spring!


O2 Prime - Our new HVAC air filtration systems are up and running in nearly all our schools, again thanks to pandemic funding. O2 Prime system uses patented technology to artificially create millions of positive and negative ions and release them into the forced air circulation of an HVAC system traveling into spaces inside the building. Lab results provided by O2 Prime prove this treatment effective against H1N1, MRSA, E. Coli, Mold, and Norovirus. It perpetually cleans surfaces and the air from germs of all kinds, including the common cold. So apart from the pandemic, it is a healthful investment.

Holiday Food Program - Our indefatigable Director of Food Service Perley Martin and his dedicated Food Service Team members will provide free 30+-pound boxes of food to all eighteen and younger students. The boxes will contain five days' worth of breakfast and lunches, with cereal, milk, fruit, and juice for breakfast, and all the fixings for a delicious and nutritious turkey dinner, including a turkey, gravy, dinner rolls, vegetables, and fruit. Please RSVP by December 16 to ensure that we have enough food for everyone (one box per family). Email Mr. Martin (pmartin@rsu71.org) or call him at 207-3320, extension 307. Families should pick-up food boxes in the parking lot of either Troy Howard Middle School on Tuesday, December 22 from 11:00 am-Noon or Captain Albert Stevens School from Noon to 1:00 pm


Half-Day Tuesday, December 22 - The last day of school before vacation is Tuesday, December 22, and it will be a half-day for students and staff as well, with students in grades 6 - 12 being dismissed at 11:30 am and K-5 students at 12:30 pm. Of course, this plan could change if we have an outbreak of COVID-19 in our school district. Our superbly dedicated school board has given me the authority to move our school system between green, yellow, and red modes in response to this deadly disease.


That's it for this week!  This message will be Robo-emailed to all families and posted on our district website (rsu71.org) and my blog. I'll send out another update on Friday, December 18. In the meantime, Please Stay Safe. And for the sake of students trying to make their way during a dark time, I hope that some of the peace and magic of the season moves our hearts this holiday season, even as we experience the stress of uncertainty.


With deep respect and abundant affection,


- Mary Alice

Friday Update - 12/4/2020

Dear RSU 71 Students, Families, Staff, School Board and Community Members, 


I hope that each of you enjoyed some cozy time over Thanksgiving. Ours was the most peaceful we've ever had as it was just my husband, our two sons, and our faithful black labrador, Reb. We missed being with extended family but thoroughly enjoyed how well the boys get along with each other these days -- adult children can be a joy! I ate way too much turkey and pie, of course, but I don't regret a single bite (despite my clothes seeming to have shrunk a bit).


COVID - 19 Update - Today, the Maine Center of Disease Control (CDC) and Department of Education announced that Waldo County is still in GREEN mode. So we in RSU 71 will stay the course, keeping grades K-8 in the GREEN/In-person mode and grades 9 - 12 in the YELLOW/Hybrid mode. So far, we have had five positive cases of the coronavirus in individuals associated with RSU 71 schools, all of whom are now fully recovered: two at BAHS, one at THMS, one at CASS, and one at Ames. The cases were not connected, and there is no evidence of transmission in the schools. All the confirmed cases' primary contacts were quarantined, and none of their tests came back positive.


Please keep up the excellent work regarding wearing masks, keeping social distance, washing hands thoroughly as often as possible, and using hand sanitizer when soap and water are not immediately accessible. Our teachers and other staff's most significant challenges at the front lines are keeping students distanced from one another. Anything that parents, grandparents, and guardians can do to remind their children-- little ones can be reminded to fly like a bird with arms outstretched like wings -- will be super appreciated by educators.


You may have seen in the news that the United States CDC has changed some of its guidelines about release from quarantine, but Maine CDC has not yet done so.  We must follow the Maine CDC guidelines.  If the Maine CDC changes its guidelines, we will then re-evaluate our protocols.

  2. What is Isolation  

  3. What is Quarantine

  5. Quarantine Guidance for Healthcare and Critical Infrastructure Workers with COVID-19 Exposure  

Please feel free to contact our talented administrators and nurses, and to contact me. This update will be Robo-emailed to all families and posted on the district website and my blog.

Wishing you all many moments of comfort and joy this holiday season, 

  Mary Alice

CORRECTED - 11/20/2020 Weekly Update 1:05 pm

Friday, November 20, 2020


Dear RSU 71 Students, Families, Staff, School Board and Community, 


First, warm wishes for a happy Thanksgiving!  I'll be taking some time with immediate family next week, and so the next Friday update will be sent on December 4th, unless something urgent needs to be communicated before then. Thanksgiving won't be the same this year, with no extended family members coming up to see us and no travel down to see our elders. Yet, our hearts will be full of gratitude for many blessings, which will include a turkey dinner and pumpkin pie. 


COVID-19 Update - Today, it was announced at noon by the  Disease Control (CDC) and Department of Education (DOE) that Waldo county has stayed GREEN, with no asterisks attached. Nevertheless, we continue to be significantly impacted by the pandemic. Just yesterday, there was a positive case of the coronavirus in an individual associated with Troy Howard Middle School. Twenty-two students, mostly sixth-graders, and seven teachers will need to quarantine through December 1. Since the teachers are mostly associated with the sixth grade, we have needed to move all sixth graders to the RED-Light/Remote mode. All families and staff affected were notified yesterday, and a Robo-email went to all the families of THMS. The seventh and eighth-grades may continue to come to school daily and in person according to the GREEN Plan, and the high school, in which students are more mature and better positioned to do remote learning, will continue to be in YELLOW. We may well need to move the middle school to the YELLOW/Hybride mode after Thanksgiving if there are more cases. So far, however, not a single primary contact of the now four positive cases in RSU 71-- one at CASS, one at Ames, and two at THMS -  has tested positive. May this trend continue! And may the individual infected have a safe recovery!


Speaking of Thanksgiving - We (Again) Need Your Help - Many ask whether we plan to move to the RED-Light/Remote Learning Mode after Thanksgiving through New Year's Day. The concern is that a great many people will be traveling and gathering and not necessarily following essential safety protocols, including wearing masks, staying socially distant, and frequently sanitizing hands. Many are concerned that these healthful practices will cease at the very moment when there is a considerable spike of positive cases in Maine. I had been waiting to learn of our color designation. Since it is GREEN and since there is an abundance of evidence accumulating about the negative impacts on children and families in remote instruction, and the relative safety of schools, we intend to stay the course in GREEN for K-8 and YELLOW for 9-12 students, for as long as we are able. However, to stay in school, it will be necessary for every one of us in the RSU 71 community to follow the CDC's advice (italicized below). We wish to protect our students and protect our valiant educators and support staff, some of whom feel a bit like "sitting ducks," to use one vivid term recently shared with me. Many district staff members are understandably anxious about the upward trend in Maine's positive cases as the holiday season approaches.


Our RSU 71 families, parents, grandparents and guardians, and students have generally been FABULOUS about following medical advice for the sake of our students' education; I fervently pray that these practices will continue during and through and beyond the holiday season. It is good for us to be together in school. Please continue to help us enable our wonderful students and staff to learn together in school though doing your part. It has never been so clear how deeply interconnected and how we are impacted by one another in invisible ways, simply by breathing. From the CDC:

As we see the escalating impact of COVID-19 across our state and the nation, we recognize that friends and families are looking for ways to connect and to maintain normal traditions in an abnormal time. As the holiday season approaches, it is critically important that our school communities continue to do everything we can in order to keep our schools safe, open, and able to provide in-person instruction.

This may mean making the safe and difficult choice to limit holiday gathering and travel, as we know that both have additional risks for exposure and transmission of the virus. The United States Center for Disease Control has issued strong guidance to the American people to limit our interactions and travel this holiday season so that we can all gather safely in the future. Further details of the CDC's recommendations can be found here.  

Based on the recommendations of the community health experts, we strongly encourage our staff and students to celebrate each holiday within your current household only and to limit any large gatherings.

Any staff or students who travel to any state other than New Hampshire or Vermont (no restrictions for these two states only as of 11/16/20; subject to change) will be required to either

  1. quarantine for 14 days upon return to Maine, or

  2. quarantine until receiving a negative test result. The test must be taken either:

    1. in the state, you are visiting and no more than 72 hours prior to your return to Maine, or

    2. once you return to Maine.

This is not dependent on the length of time spent within the restricted states, meaning that a day visit still requires any person to quarantine for 14 days or until a negative test result is confirmed. All members of the household who travel must test or quarantine if over 12 months old. Testing site information for Maine can be found here.

Any person who is quarantining should stay home and not have in-person contact with others unless there is an emergency.

A non-traditional Thanksgiving can be hard on all of us, and CDC has some suggestions on healthy alternatives and precautions to consider that can be found here. Please stay safe, and help us to keep our school community safe and able to provide for the students we serve.

Priority Notice from DOE - I ask all in-person educators to read here about the additional safety protocols and changes recommended by the CDC and DOE:

https://mailchi.mp/maine/cu5lemq6y0-1322288?e=fe4542688a


Request from our School Nurse Team - Despite the coronavirus pandemic, we still need to submit information to the state about students who are not vaccinated. If you have not yet signed an immunization exemption letter, please help our beautiful and very busy nurses and do so today:

Middle-Level Sports Update from AD/AP SeekinsTroy Howard Middle School had 137 students in our fall sports intramural programming. That is one-half of our current student population!  We offered engaging skill-building and intra-squad scrimmage opportunities in football, field hockey, boys and girls soccer, x-country, and golf.  We were able to run the programming for six weeks safely. Though we missed playing other schools, and there was no championship, many students who may not have come out to play competitively could take part and build their skills and confidence in sports.  We are extremely thankful for all our coaches and volunteers who helped keep our kids actively engaged and safely following all guidelines and for our students who supported each other while navigating all the school and athletics changes.


Looking to winter, we are closely monitoring the local Covid-19 numbers and what the MPA is planning for high school sports.  We are hoping to mimic our fall sports programming protocols and offer some basketball opportunities beginning in January.  Until then, we are looking for opportunities to keep kids active outdoors.  Yes, we wish for some snow!  With snow on the ground, we can offer snowshoeing.  We are also hoping to provide some winter hiking opportunities.  Meanwhile, we are looking into offering archery lessons and modified floor hockey sessions.  These are all works in progress, and we will communicate details as soon as we have them.  


That's it for this week! This message will be Robo-emailed to all RSU 71 families, as always, and posted on our district website and my blog. Please feel free to be in touch with me, and with our awesome administrators and school nurses.


With warm wishes that the spirit of gratitude fills all our hearts (and tummies) over Thanksgiving and that we all do everything in our power to stay safe, 


Mary Alice

Weekly Update - 11/13/2020

Friday, November 13, 2020


Dear RSU 71 Students, Families, Staff, School Board and Community Members, 


Ahoy! Here's this week's update.


COVID-19 - We have good news in this area! At noon, the CDC and DOE announced that the spread from the Brooks church outbreak has slowed, so we in Waldo County are still in the GREEN/In-Person Mode for grades K-8 and no longer need to be monitored so closely by the CDC. All of the coronavirus tests taken of BAHS folks in quarantine have come back negative. Kudos and thanks to all students, families, and staff for following safety guidelines to the letter.  Keep up the great work!! New research has found that cloth masks most effectively prevent the spread of the virus and protect everyone from unwittingly infected and asymptomatic people.


Survey about Remote Learning - As promised, we surveyed our K - 5 families to learn whether the second-trimester students would remain in remote learning, move to remote learning, or remain at school in-person. We have five students returning to school in-person and thirteen moving to remote learning. Thanks for getting back to us, which helps us in planning for the second trimester. Families in grades 6 - 12 will be surveyed when we approach the end of our first semester.


Unplanned Fire Drill at BAHS - A work crew helping Siemens with our new O2 Prime systems inadvertently triggered a sensor. The good news is that we had a fire drill, which will count toward the number required by law. Students and staff were very orderly and did a great job continuing to wear masks and maintain social distance.


RSU 71 Students Shine TV Show - In December, we are launching the RSU 71 Students Shine TV show streaming via our YouTube channel. The first show will be with THMS teacher Sarah Wyman and her students, who have a blog to publish student writing. Please feel free to call or email me with other interview topics. I want to highlight high-quality student products and performances and their teachers and provide a wider audience with whom students can share their learning.

RSU 71 Nurses' New Website - Our talented team of nurses has a new website -- check it out!

RSU 71 Athletics - News from BAHS (next week, I'll highlight THMS): We finished the fall season with 134 athletes in good standing, and each of those students will receive varsity letters or sub-varsity certificates. In total, we safely completed 47 fall sports contests. All teams have much to celebrate this year as each was competitive in their pods and around the state. BAHS Field Hockey finished an undefeated season, winning each of their six games with shutouts. Remarkable! Our football team was two points away from a 4-0 season, finishing 3-1. Our golf team qualified all five individual players to the state meet and finished 8th overall. Our soccer and cross country teams represented us well with exciting wins against fierce competition. All athletes, teams, and coaches showed resilience and displayed impeccable sportsmanship. It was a great season for our sports program.

 

We now turn to winter sports with uncertainty hanging over our programs. Sign-ups for basketball, competition cheer, indoor track and field, swimming, and wrestling are going well. Where some sports may not be allowed, our winter coaches plan to augment those seasons with safe and allowable alternatives, including downhill skiing, nordic skiing, dance, yoga, recreational swimming, weight training, pickleball, ping pong, snowshoeing, ice skating, broomball, hiking, etc. 


Remote Snow Day Plan - This year, we will pilot a number of our snow days as Remote Snow Days, during which classes will be held remotely. On beautiful winter days that are good for making snowpeople, sledding, tobogganing, skating, and the like, we will encourage students to go outside for fresh air and winter fun.

Essential Work Plan - We've come a long way since March when it was unclear who would be able to work in-person safely. Here's a document showing all the employee groups and all levels: K-5, 6-8, and 9-12.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PfScPkZrq9IhIDgRa_Y187NfXwc4R4A-PZCG0x8mdfk/edit


Requests from Our Bus Drivers - Students have generally been FANTASTIC about following bus protocols, though, as this pandemic wears on, some are beginning to forget that the bus is still "school," and the same rules apply. At this week's meeting of the Bus-Garage Team, bus drivers noted that students are not always following safety protocols and directions. Bus drivers love their work and the students they serve and do not like to stop the bus or write-up students. I have asked the bus drivers to complete bus slips and work with principals to address student misbehavior. I ask that parents, grandparents, and guardians remind their children to follow the bus drivers' directions for safety's sake, including sitting in assigned seats to allow for greater social distancing, keeping their masks on, and practicing hand -hygiene. Families have been great about communicating expectations to children, and this has really helped us. Remind students that we really do not want to remove students from the bus but need to do so when important rules are broken. Families have been super-supportive imparting requests to children, so bus drivers will greatly appreciate your having a friendly talk about this at home.


Jobs For Maine Graduates - Many thanks to JMG for the gift of twenty $100.00 Hannaford gift cards for THMS and BAHS families in need. "JMG's mission is to help students be successful by overcoming obstacles. During this unprecedented time, many students, and their families, are now facing new challenges and hope that this contribution provides a small bit of relief during this world-wide crisis." We so appreciate our fabulous partnership with JMG!!


Staff Leave Time During the Pandemic - There has been a little confusion about staff leave accommodations during the pandemic and how leave-time is compensated under EPSL, FFCRA, EFMLEA, and FMLA. That is because it is quite confusing! Please see the attached information and refer to it when making decisions for you and your families. And always feel free to call or email the central office with questions. I am very impressed by the work ethic of our RSU 71 workforce during this pandemic. Balancing work and family is never easy but has never been so complicated as now!


That's it for this week. As always, please feel free to be in touch with me, our administrators, and nurses with questions, feedback, ideas, and concerns.


Stay safe, and be well! -Mary Alice
