Dear Families,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Because of the snow day we have moved our 8th grade parent night to Tuesday 2/25 from 6-7. Pizza will be provided.
We will start with a brief information session in the student center. After that, we will move into the gym for the Freshmen Fair! In the gym you will be able to visit tables with representatives from all our academic departments, student senate, dual enrollment and more. Tours of the school will also be provided by current students!
We are so excited to meet our incoming Freshmen and we are looking forward to welcoming all of you to the high school community!
Dwayne Conway, Ed.D
Principal
Maranacook Community High School
Due to pending weather: Parent Conferences scheduled for Feb 6 have been moved to Feb 27 - same time that you previously signed up for (due to weather concerns)
Don't forget to do a Lunch Order for Remote Learning/Blizzard Bag Day!
Order lunch for your child even if you are unsure if you will need it so we can plan. The lunch will be given out the day before we have a Remote Learning Day and is free to all who sign up. http://bit.ly/2ZSnLi8
All after school activities today (12/17) have been cancelled.
Reminder, Thursday, December 5th is an Early Release Day. There are no PreK classes.
The middle school music department is anxious to perform their winter concert for the community. With weather as it is, and in an effort to keep everyone safe, we would like to extend an invitation to the community to attend the performance on Monday, December 9th, at 7pm, our snow date. Hopefully weather will cooperate. In the meantime we hope you will join us at the annual tree-lighting ceremony this Friday at 6:00pm at the Readfield public library. There will be a small performance featuring the middle school chamber choir before we light the tree. We also hope you may join us for cookies, hot chocolate and a visit with Santa before he makes his way to the North Pole. Thank you all for your patience and happy holidays!
ALL after school activities at the high school AND middle school are cancelled today due to the possibility of icy roads.

Middle school is an amazing time. Other than the earliest years of life, the middle-school ages are the time when the brain develops most. The prefrontal cortex is developing so quickly and it is such an important time for children to develop relationships and have opportunities to explore who they are. Middle school is also a time when our students meet new people and make lasting friendships. It’s a time when they get to discover and explore new interests on their own.
Throughout this year, students will learn more about who they are and who they have the potential to become. We are so happy to have our students grow with us at MCMS!
