We Know You're Wondering

As we approach the end of this school year, we know, based on the number of questions we've received, that many young people, parents, staff, family members and other area citizens are wondering if Valley Unified students will be able to return to school for the start of 2020-2021 school year.

Please know, in an effort to a provide a firm answer to this question as soon as possible, we are continuing to monitor guidance from the Governor's Office, the Maine Department of Education, and the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention about Return to School Planning.

In the meantime, four teams of Valley Unified staff are meeting regularly to work out the many details of a safe, efficient Reintegration to School Plan.

Each of the four teams is developing options based on the following three potential situations:

• School begins on time and remains open
• School begins on time and closes due to a second wave of COVID-19
• School opening is delayed

More concrete information will be provided to staff, students, parents, and community members as elements and details of our Reintegration to School Plan are finalized based on information from state offices and officials.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during these uncertain times.
