Although RSU34 schools were closed indefinitely, many schools closed for two weeks. Here is what will be released today: The Governor’s State of Emergency announcement closed schools for 30 days, which would take us to April 13th. The Penquis Superintendents’ Association has recommended that all school districts in our region continue with remote learning days through April 17th, then break for the scheduled April Vacation (4/20-4/24). At this time, our hope is that we will reopen schools on Monday, April 27th. Have a good weekend and stay safe.
Update: Currently OTHS will offer internet connection from the high school parking lot for educational purposes through our Guest network. For those that can remember, it is very much like a "drive-up" internet service.
ATTENTION OLD TOWN HIGH SCHOOL Community - Yearbook pages will be added showing what our students are doing during this time at home. If your child/ children are doing school work, virtual tours, reading, or anything else school related please take a picture of them and email it to me at christina.turner@rsu34.org

Starting at 10:30 AM M-F, Food/Resource busses will start out on bus routes to dispense food/school resources to students in the RSU 34 learning community. Please be on the lookout for your bus in your community. We will also continue food distribution at OTHS campus as another distribution point.

RSU 34:: In an effort to proactively slow the spread of COVID-19, RSU #34 schools will be closed beginning Tuesday March 17th.

New Opportunities for Students, New School Start and End Times, New Bus Routes!
The back-to-school issue of Community Connections is off to the printers, and will arrive in mailboxes in about a week! Much thanks to staff and community members who contributed pictures and articles.
As we shared in the May issue, this school year will see a big shift in schedule and bus routes to yield new opportunities for students at no extra cost to taxpayers. In total this will yield up to 1,700 extra hours of opportunity to each child over the course of their K-12 journey, and also brings school start/end times to the time recommended by expert groups such as the American Association of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association.
The digital issue of Community Connections can be reached here: https://5il.co/9hnk
School start and end times are on page 3, and September bus routes are on pages 20-23. Bus routes will be adjusted on October 1st as new enrollments are finalized and as Cyr Bus and RSU #34 identify any unanticipated changes in traffic patterns.
Please carefully check your school start and end times, and September bus routes! Thank you in advance for your patience and support as many in the community adjust to the new times and routes.
Please don’t hesitate to contact school and district staff with any questions as we roll out the changes and iron out the wrinkles. Contact info can be found at www.rsu34.org

Dear Mom and Dad: Cool it
Contributed • January 14, 2019
To the editor:
If you are the mother or father of a high school athlete here in Maine, this message is primarily for you.
When you attend an athletic event that involves your son or daughter, cheer to your heart’s content, enjoy the camaraderie that high school sports offer and have fun. But when it comes to verbally criticizing game officials or coaches, cool it.
Make no mistake about it. Your passion is admired, and your support of the hometown team is needed. But so is your self-control. Yelling, screaming and berating the officials humiliates your child, annoys those sitting around you, embarrasses your child’s school and is the primary reason Maine has an alarming shortage of high school officials.
It’s true. According to a recent survey by the National Association of Sports Officials, more than 75 percent of all high school officials say “adult behavior” is the primary reason they quit. And 80 percent of all young officials hang up their stripes after just two years of whistle blowing. Why? They don’t need your abuse.
Plus, there’s a ripple effect. There are more officials over 60 than under 30 in many areas. And as older, experienced officials retire, there aren’t enough younger ones to replace them. If there are no officials, there are no games. The shortage of licensed high school officials is severe enough in some areas that athletic events are being postponed or cancelled — especially at the freshmen and junior varsity levels.
Research confirms that participation in high school sports and activities instills a sense of pride in school and community, teaches lifelong lessons like the value of teamwork and self-discipline, and facilitates the physical and emotional development of those who participate. So, if the games go away because there aren’t enough men and women to officiate them, the loss will be infinitely greater than just an “L” on the scoreboard. It will be putting a dent in your community’s future.
If you would like to be a part of the solution to the shortage of high school officials, you can sign up to become a licensed official at HighSchoolOfficials.com. Otherwise, adult role models at high school athletic events here in Maine are always welcome.

Good Morning – Last night, OTHS received information about a statement made by a student threatening the well-being of our students and our school. The statement was reported to the OTPD and we worked in conjunction with them to determine the credibility of the threat. The OTPD put a lot of time and effort into their investigation and has determined that there is no credible threat. OTHS is open for the school day and all activities as normal. The safety of our students and our school is of the utmost important.
