January 27, 2023 Dear Noble Community; Earlier this month, an act of violence occurred in the south in which a young man was pulled over, beaten, and later died. It has been reported that authorities anticipate releasing video footage of this event which may be traumatizing for students and adults alike. Whether families follow the news closely, or not, many students will encounter various levels of exposure to the footage on social media. The footage will impact community members in various ways. As students struggle to process what they see, take the time to listen to your children, answer the questions that you can, and know that it’s okay not to have all the answers. Please know that your child’s school is here to help if your child is having a hard time. Our schools are equipped with skilled counselors and staff members who are trained to support students in processing difficult situations. We have included some resource links below to help with supportive conversations with your children, and encourage you to reach out as needed.

January 24, 2023 Dear MSAD #60 Families; Please let this correspondence serve as a district update. At this writing the only school currently without power is Noble High School. That is a big improvement from this morning! We are very hopeful that by Wednesday morning power will be restored to the high school allowing all facilities to run “per usual.” Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 25, 2023 is currently scheduled as a Late Start/Early Release day on the calendar. That will remain in effect. There is one more day of scheduled exams for high school students set to occur tomorrow before the new semester begins. What a long and drawn out exam period this has been! Looking ahead, there appears to be some inclement weather coming in late Wednesday through the early morning on Thursday. While poor road conditions and power outages certainly have been challenging over the last handful of days, based on the forecast it doesn’t appear like our community is fully out of the woods yet. As a result of the projected forecast, the Administrative Team met this morning to assess what resources we have available should the district have an inclement weather day again on Thursday. Right now there are several large barriers (power and internet service being the two largest) to having a remote learning day so the district is going to take a more traditional route. Students in kindergarten through grade seven will go home Wednesday afternoon with some literacy and math extension activities to work on Thursday-should there be no school. The upper grades will have a robust feedback form to complete for the district-wide Strategic Plan revision process. Additionally, Principal Dufort is working with the presenter who is set to be at NHS on Thursday to see what options would be available should we not be in session. The high school will provide more information directly should “Plan B” be necessary. While none of the activities take the place of or "count" as a full in-session day, they do provide students extension activities to keep learning/academic opportunities open to them. In closing, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge how challenging these past three inclement weather days have been. It is never an easy decision to cancel school. It is actually one of the harder decisions to make as it impacts families across the district. Please know that these decisions are made with student, teacher, and staff safety as the very top priority. Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Sincerely, Audra Beauvais

Due to widespread power outages, all MSAD 60 Schools will be closed today January 24, 2023.

This is a reminder from MSAD 60. Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 18, 2023, is not a Late Start/ Early Release Day.

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETING OF November 03, 2022 Current Board Members- North Berwick- Lauren Janousek, Kate Whalen, Lynn Manley Berwick- Travis Doiron, Elva Lovejoy, Denise Mallett Lebanon- Victoria Travers, Stephanie Hagenbuch, Nancy Neubert Student Representative- Echo Balistreri A meeting of the Board of Directors was held in person in North Berwick, Maine on November 3, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. with all members attending except Ms. Travers and Ms. Mallett. 1 in the audience.

All members voted in favor except Ms. Neubert, who abstained, and the motion passed. Student Report: Ms. Echo Balistreri, student board representative, shared with the board the student report: Biking Club: met this Tuesday- students brought bikes to the school- Beau Lambert’s goals: students can learn how to repair the bikes they already have, help them to make jewelry utilizing parts of a bike (spokes) and organize group rides Rise: 8-12th grade students watched “The First Day”-- a film by Chris Herron -- Highlights the significance of the beginning of a substance or mental disorder rather than just focusing on the end. When people think of a drug addict they tend to imagine a rough looking individual who is on the brink of death rather than a physically normal looking person who excels in sports and appears to be “fine”. This set a heavier and more thoughtful tone for the remainder of the day- students and staff could reflect on their life and how they may be able to return to healthy habits themselves. The board then held a second review of the tri fold document that is provided at board meetings. More feedback was received and we will incorporate that for the third review at the next board meeting. MSMA conference update: The Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendent shared with the board the various sessions that were attended at the Maine School Board Association (put on by Maine School Management) conference in Augusta on October 27 and 28.

November 18, 2022 Dear Parents/Guardians, We have learned that a small number of schools in Cumberland County received online threats. MSAD #60 has NOT received any such threats. We will continue to be vigilant in monitoring school facilities and work in partnership with our School Resource Officers and first responders. Sincerely, Audra Beauvais Superintendent of Schools

Our apologies. Due to staffing shortages, Lebanon bus 33 Shelly, will not be running today November 18.

November 15, 2022 Dear Noble Community, This notification is sent to provide further information and helpful resources after the non-credible threat was made to Sanford High School earlier this morning. In total, nine high schools across the state of Maine received similar non-credible threats as the one Sanford High School received. This was a hard day for many people not only here at Noble and York County but throughout the entire state of Maine. It pushes on our worst fears of violence in a school setting. That being said, administrators, teachers and staff across the district did an outstanding job keeping the day flowing for all students. While some upper grade level students acquired various pieces of information from peers, the lower grade level students didn’t have information and went about their day as usual. Students attending the morning session at Sanford Regional Technical Center (SRTC) were either picked up by a parent or authorized adult at a reunification spot in Sanford or arrived back at Noble High School late in the morning. While this event caused stress and concern for many people, it also reinforced that we have strong supports in place. Throughout the day districts across the state worked collaboratively with the Maine Information and Analysis Center and the Maine School Safety Center solidifying the partnerships among schools and first responders. Below is a listing of a few resources that may be of help if your student has questions. Both resources focus on talking to children/youth about a traumatic events and the information is applicable and transferable for hard conversations: Helping Children Cope After a Traumatic Event Tips for Talking to Children and Youth After Traumatic Events Please do not hesitate to reach out to your student’s school counselor, teacher, or team should they need some additional support. Sincerely, Audra Beauvais Superintendent of Schools

Good Morning Noble Community, This correspondence is sent to update information regarding Sanford High School. Many of you may have heard reports that there was an active shooter at Sanford High School this morning. It has been verified that this was not credible. Similar reports actually occurred at a few other high schools across the state. Sanford High School followed their safety procedures and locked down the building. Noble High School students attending the morning session of SRTC were already in session and followed the procedures laid out by Sanford. SRTC kept families informed of the situation and Noble High School disseminated similar information to SRTC families. Sincerely, Audra Beauvais Superintendent of Schools

Cycling Club: proposed, meeting with interested students on Monday the 24th of October- will get students outdoors and provide new opportunities obscure to this school Flash Fiction Contest- Noble Competes organized second annual flash fiction contest- students are writing their stories which are all based off of the same prompt- winner gets a fun prize The board then reviewed the tri fold document that is provided at board meetings. A few updates need to be made and members discussed the editing that needs to be completed. The board had a quick review of the Drummond and Woodsum workshop that discussed the Human Rights Act, First Amendment Rights, Book Challenges and Public Input. The takeaways were how our educators are navigating a wide range of issues on a daily basis. The Superintendent shared and reviewed the 2022-2023 Budget Preparation Timeline for FY2024. Educational Update: Attendance for Students 91% to 98% Attendance for Staff… staff out with illness highest is 7 per school.

We have continued to do our best to cover all routes, however we have had one or two that could not be covered since the beginning of the year. Collaboration with the technology director has resolved our issues with the tracking part of Ride 360. This should help parents trying to track bus locations. There are currently two employees who are close to being licensed. One has sent in for her skills test and should be getting a date back soon. The other is re-taking part of the written test to get permitted. Still unable to cover activity runs at this time. Anticipating a November start date.

The only concern that Echo has heard is about building temperature. Classrooms are either too hot or too cold. Superintendent Beauvais spoke about the School Safety Overview. Each building has a Safety Committee that meets several times a year. These committees work on “Safety” which could mean anything from camera’s in the building or the ice in the parking lot and everything in between.

He would like to figure out how to get students allowed to bring computers home. Mr. Dones responded that middle school had added a statement about this in the latest newsletter. The change in practice reasoning included: students were often not charging laptops or forgot them at home so they were unable to fully participate in class. Chromebooks are being damaged and NMS is trying to deter costs on families. Most homework does not require technology. The school will monitor this practice moving forward. Ms. Hagenbuch is really impressed with the artwork in the town square of Noble High School. She additionally mentioned to Mr. Dones the newsletter and website look really good.

No employment updates. Other Business: The Superintendent shared an email from Heather Brown with a donation for $1600 that is to be split between the Lebanon Schools Art and Music program. Hello my name is Heather Marie Brown... I recently have held a fundraiser in hopes of raising money for the Lebanon Maine Elementary School music and art programs. The fundraiser was held over the past 2 weekends at 2 different events (Higher Education Music and Art festival and The 4×4 Mud Runs) that happened within Lebanon Maine. I worked very hard over the last few months collecting prize donations not only from within the community but from companies all over the United States!! I also went and spoke to the Select Board and contacted the State of Maine to make sure I was doing everything right. I had also reached out the Elementary School and spoke to someone that didn't realize I needed to contact MSAD60 to let them know so I immediately did this once I found out. The original plan was to hold the fundraiser during the event focused on music and art but due to absolutely horrible weather and a few other logistical issues I only had a few hours on that Sunday to do any fundraising and felt that was not enough! So after communicating with the owners of the proving grounds it was decided the best thing I could do in order to raise the most amount of money was to come to their event the following weekend to finish out the fundraiser. I have kept the community updated every step of the way using Social Media. The fundraiser collected donations through several methods... A raffle for prizes, a 50/50 raffle and cash donations. I'm proud to say that between the 2 events I was able to raise $1600!!! ($500 at the first event...$100 cash dropped off at my house and $1000 at the second event) The intent of the money is to be split equally between the Lebanon Maine Elementary School music and art programs. That's $800 to each program!!! I truly hope the teachers will be excited and will be able to do some wonderful things with the money!! Study after study shows that children exposed to music and arts benefit through assistance with memory language and creativity. All areas of extreme importance for a developing brain. I hope everyone can recognize how much effort I have put into this project and truly how much community involvement went into it as well!!! I am forever grateful for this opportunity and the kindness shown by both event owners in regards to giving me the space to achieve this goal! I also truly appreciate the local and national businesses that stepped up to the challenge and provided raffle prizes!!! To me this is a prime example of how we can come together for the greater good!! Thank you for your time. Thank you, Heather Marie Brown Ms. Mallett made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Lovejoy to accept the donation of $1600 for the LES/Hanson music and art program.

Policy First Reading: IHBAI: SPECIAL EDUCATION INDEPENDENT EVALUATION POLICY The two day new teacher orientation occurred on August 24th and 25th. Topics included a district overview, including a bus tour of the three towns and all schools, technology and curricula expectations and building-based work. The Transportation Department is short four bus drivers. Everyone in the department who has a valid CDL will be driving a bus for the foreseeable future. There are four community members working toward their CDL and once received, will be able to be assigned a bus route. While the Transportation office is staffed to field any questions that come up, the director will be driving a bus route and therefore may not be able to immediately respond to questions directed specifically to her. That said, the response will be in the most timely manner possible. In light of the driver shortage, some of the Berwick and No. Berwick bus drivers have two “shuttle” runs to help address the staff shortages. SRTC started this week.

Happy Summer Everyone, I hope you are finding some relief from the heat and are able to enjoy some family time with your children this summer. We have been working hard in preparation for the start of the 2022-23 school year. Annually, we need to ensure that we have proper contact information on file for every student in attendance. Rather than a paper and pen process, we give parents and guardians access to Infinite Campus to update these electronically. Please take a moment to log into your Infinite Campus Portal account in order to complete the annual update process. As you may know, we are desperately short of Bus Drivers, so you will notice a question allowing you to OPT - OUT of using MSAD #60 transportation at this time. Prompt completion of the Annual update will greatly assist us in refining our bus routes in order to accommodate all families who require transportation. All parents & guardians without an active parent account have received an automated email from infinite campus, with their unique account creation link. If your link has expired, please let us know via the Technology Help Desk. If you have forgotten your Username or Password, please use the related links on the portal page to recover them. Please complete your annual update as soon as possible, with a deadline of August 10th. This will allow us to finalize bus routes and verify proof of residency prior to the start of school.

July 6, 2022 Dear Noble Community, Historically, water testing occurs for schools in the district that do not have town water.

At this writing, water has been tested at all schools and results can be found on the district web page: www.rsu60.org. Attached is an “Information Sheet” about lead in drinking water. This “Information Sheet” accompanies the report. Should you have further questions please contact Director of Facilities, Kevin Moore (kevin.moore@msad60.org).
