As our community navigates the challenges of the fall/winter season and the continuing impacts of the government shutdown, the MSAD#44 Family wants to ensure that every resident has access to the support they need. Our dedicated social work team has compiled a comprehensive Community Resource Page to help connect our neighbors with vital services.

What it is: This is a centralized list of resources, including food assistance, heating and utility aid, and other essential community services.

Live and Updated: The resource page is a live link and will be continually updated as our team gathers new information. We encourage you to check it frequently.

Where to Find the Link: On the flyer it is under the FIND LOCAL FOOD ASSISTANCE portion or linked here.

We understand that these are trying times, and you don't have to face them alone. If you or your family are in need of assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. You can always contact your local MSAD#44 school directly. Our staff is prepared to listen and help direct you to the services best suited to assist you.

We are proud to serve and support the greater MSAD#44 community.

The 2025-2026 full Bus Routes are now uploaded to the sad44.org website. On Friday you should have received an individual email out lining your students pick up and drop off times. We are working with Ridesource this year and new software called Bus Right for all of our routing needs.
To find the routes, go to the menu page of the sad44 page, then click on TRANSPORTATION, then scroll down to Bus Schedules. You will find a section for AM runs and PM runs separate. Route numbers match the email you received on Friday and in there you will see the assigned bus driver's name and bus number as well.
We will update the routes after the first week as drivers and families get used to the timings and see who is and who is not riding on a regular basis. Please bear with us as we work to adjust and make them as accurate as possible. In two weeks you will get an email describing how to download and access a parent app where you can track your child's routes/times, etc on a daily basis.
Thank you.

Emily Read Daniels, author and creator of The Regulated Classroom (TRC), provided a full day training to staff K-12 at Sunday River today. Throughout the school year TRC trainers and facilitators taught staff the basics of felt safety, polyvagal theory, and the four core practices: connectors, activators, settlers, and affirmations. Emily provided additional information as she demonstrated these core practices and helped the staff learn how to track body state and recruit social engagement to enhance student (and self) regulation. As you can see, there were a lot of smiles (and some tears), movement, and engagement. At the end of the session each staff member shared a "glimmer" or a positive cue of safety from the day. Thank you to Emily for making the trip to MSAD 44 and to Sunday River for providing the space, refreshments, snacks, and lunch.
