School Closure Update

Maine Governor Janet Mills recently singed a proclamation of civil emergency for a 30-day period.

As a result, all Valley Unified Education Service Center schools will be closed indefinitely until the Governor's proclamation has been terminated.

For more information concerning the proclamation, the next phase of our Remote Learning Plan, and a priority notice from Maine's Commissioner of Education, read a letter from Superintendent of Schools, Benjamin Sirois, at bit.ly/2Wuj5iK.  The letter also can be accessed by clicking on the image below.

We understand extended school closure poses a challenge for many families in our region.  Still, closing schools while ensuring the continuation of learning through remote instruction is intended to help protect our students, staff, and communities from the Coronavirus (COVID-19). 

Thank you for your understanding.  The school lunch delivery program will continue for the duration of the school closure period.
