There will be a 1hr delay today for all MSAD#44 schools, Monday, March 31, 2025 due to back and side road conditions to make sure everyone can get to school safely.
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.

This evening at 5pm we will be conducting a test of the emergency alert system for MSAD44. We are rebuilding the data base from scratch to hopefully get all of the kinks worked out. Your students were given a paper form we ask you to fill out and return tomorrow please to help us identify who this is and is not working for. We are also posting the same information and a picture of the form to our websites and Facebook pages to try and make sure we are getting the word out to all families and to see if the system is working properly. If you do not receive a call, text, and email this evening, and you believe you should, please contact your school office in the morning.
Thank you for your patience through this process.
Mark
