RSU 10 Recognition from Maine Department Of Education! Thank you EVERYONE!
Today MVHS will be open from 9-1 for students to pick up technology, assignments and personal belongings. We would like to see Seniors from 9-10, Juniors 10-11, Sophomores 11-12 and Freshmen 12-1. Byron residents needing internet services should call 1-866-347-3292 Broadband Blue
The RSU 10 Board asked the Department of Education for a waiver for 5 school days. This would allow us to NOT have to add these days in June. They also agreed to allow "Remote Learning" to count as school days for students and these will begin on March 23rd. #FalconsFly
The SAT test scheduled for Saturday May 2nd has been cancelled by the College Board.
To all MVHS students:
Teachers will be communicating with students through school Gmail and/or Google classroom. Check your school Gmail regularly. If it's not working or hasn't been set up, contact the helpdesk by calling 364-4547 x7700 or email Mike at: helpdesk@rsu10.org
We are committed to making sure that NO CHILD in RSU10 goes hungry during this closure. We believe that children should be well nourished every day of the week; whether there is school or not.

Good Afternoon:
RSU 10 has been continually monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to be proactive in protecting the health and safety of our community, RSU 10 schools will be closed for students Monday, March 16t h through Friday, March 27t h . This closure is not the result of any suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 in our immediate communities. This decision was made in consultation with many, and out of an abundance of caution, to follow the rapidly changing guidance regarding enhancing social distancing efforts. This decision has not been made lightly and we certainly empathize and understand the significant burden this will cause families in the coming days.
On Monday, staff will report for their regularly scheduled day. Administrators will meet with staff in their buildings at 8:00 a.m. Plans for the rest of the day will be shared.
Much more information will be forthcoming on this closure, but we want to communicate this news to you as soon as possible so you may begin planning for child care and other concerns that will be raised by this decision. We will be working with our administrative team and board members to provide more information as soon as possible.
During this closure, we ask that you assist by minimizing group meetings of students and adults. Practicing social distancing and good personal hygiene are the two greatest steps we can take to protect our communities from the spread of COVID-19.
Finally, we would like to commend each of our stakeholders who are contributing positive energy and dynamic solutions to our schools’ response to this fluid situation. We as a district shall remain composed, collected and compassionate as we navigate through any challenges we face now and in the future.
Thank you,
Deb Alden
Below is a statement from the MPA regarding its decision to delay the start of Spring Sports. There are very few details as of right now and the MVC will be be working together as a conference to develop schedules and make any necessary changes:
“Yesterday, Governor Mills had a press conference stating that they are encouraging “Social Distancing.” By her definition, “social distancing” means groups of 250 or more people attending non-essential events should be delayed or postponed.
Because of this, the MPA Board of Directors and Interscholastic Management Committee voted today, March 13, 2020 to delay the start of the 2020 Spring sports pre-season practice until April 27, 2020. We will continue to monitor the situation and will make the appropriate changes as needed to ensure the safety of all students.”
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the school and ask for Tom Danylik. There might not be much to share at this time but please do not hesitate to call.
The spring Student Led Conferences scheduled for next week are all cancelled. Your child's Advisor will be contacting you through email or by phone to review academic progress and submit next years course request. Thank you for your understanding #FalconsFly
Mr. Thornton certified 9 JMG students in BLS CPR by the American Heart Association. The students learned 1 person, 2 person CPR for an adult, child and infant as well as how to use an AED for all three. They also learned how to help a choking adult, child and infant. #FalconsFly
