Dear RSU 38 Community,
I am writing to inform you that Principal Rick Sirois has resigned effective August 1st and will not be returning to the Maranacook Community Middle School for the upcoming school year. We thank him for his service to the students of Maranacook Middle School and wish him the best as he moves on to other opportunities.
We are pleased to announce that effective Monday, August 4th Principal Michele LaForge has agreed to act as an Interim Principal at the middle school, in addition to her ongoing role as Principal of the high school. Principal LaForge’s leadership in conjunction with Assistant Principal Gosselin and Assistant Principal Dorman will ensure the success of daily operations at both the middle and high school. Principal LaForge and her support staff will begin the process immediately of meeting with middle school staff and determining priorities for the upcoming school year.
Principal LaForge’s work will help to prepare the middle school, district, and community for a thorough and intentional search for the next Middle School Principal. The immediate goal as a team will be to ensure that the return of the students to both the middle school and high school will be seamless while maintaining our mission of being welcoming and dedicated to excellence. The priority moving forward will be to continue providing the best possible educational opportunities for our students at the middle school.
Principal LaForge will be reaching out soon to introduce herself to the Middle School Community. Please feel free to reach out to her with any immediate needs before students arrive September 3rd.
We will keep you updated as we move forward and emphasize that the first priority will be to make sure our schools get off to a great first couple of months in the new school year.
Sincerely,
Jay Charette
Superintendent of Schools
