April 2, 2020<br /><br />Dear Parent/Guardian,<br /><br />With a new executive order delivered by Governor Mills on Tuesday afternoon, I would like toprovide you an update of what Foxcroft Academy is doing. For the past two and a half weeks, Foxcroft Academy has been operating on an “essential staff status” as we support student online learning as well as caring for the health and safety of 41 boarding students. Here are some reminders and information that will be in place until May 1st in accordance with theexecutive order. <br /><ul><li>The Governor stated that schools will stay closed at least until May 1st. In all likelihood, everyone should be prepared for online learning continuing for the rest of the year.</li>
<li>Foxcroft Academy is closed to the public which means students should not pick up ordrop off material. Through Rowell’s and Weymouth’s bus services, materials willcontinue to be picked up or delivered. Please continue to email Ms. Smith and Ms.Weatherbee to make arrangements. The lunch/breakfast pickup will continue between10 am and 12 noon, Monday, Wednesday, Friday at all of the same locations including Foxcroft Academy (10-11 am). Lunch and breakfast pick up will not take place during April break, April 20th - April 24th.</li>
<li>Unfortunately, and in compliance with the executive order, the Burns-Johnson Tennis Complex will be closed to not promote large groups and to continue social distancing.The track is closed between 2 pm and 7 pm for boarding students and dorm families touse. If you do use the track during the other hours please practice social distancing. Foxcroft Academy is proud to share its facility with the public, but during this crisis, our focus needs to promote best practices that prevent the spread of the coronavirus.</li>
<li>Within the next few weeks, there will be official announcements concerning Spring sports and we are predicting that they will be canceled.</li>
</ul>
It is heartbreaking that these steps need to be taken and it is obvious that we all need to participate in similar actions to do our part to fight COVID-19. Teachers are reporting good participation and effort by the students in their online learning. Please keep in mind that all of our support services are in place and ready to assist students and families in any way that we can. We certainly want students to be actively engaged, but more importantly, we want your family to be well and safe. It is going to take all us working together and making sacrifices to overcome this pandemic.<br /><br />All my best,<br /><br />Arnold Shorey

Text of your story
April 9, 2020<br /><br />Dear Parent/Guardian,<br /><br />With the Commissioner of Education recommending to Governor Mills that Maine schools should continue remote learning for the rest of the school year, and in coordination with RSU 68, I want to make it official that Foxcroft Academy will finish the school year with remote learning. Though this is a decision I do not want to make, we live in extraordinary times that require extraordinary steps.<br /><br />With this information, we are now able to plan for the close of the year and will share that information in the very near future. I would like to share some information as I know there are and will be, a lot of questions.<br /><ul><li>There will be an April Break from April 20th-24th. Students and teachers havebeen working very hard and all deserve a restful break.</li>
<li>The last day of school will be on Friday, June 5th.</li>
<li>Foxcroft Academy will be having professional development days on Monday, April 27th and Tuesday, April 28th. No school for students.</li>
<li>Coordination will take place to have student lockers cleaned out, the contents placed in a bag with the student’s name on it, and delivered to his/her home.</li>
<li>Work is being planned to ensure that many of our traditional activities will continue in a different form and we will announce the dates, times, and type offorum in the near future (Undergrad Awards Night, Senior Awards Night, etc.)</li>
<li>Though this is a good time to have a prom because of six-foot social distancing(a little humor), it is impossible to plan for this event at this time.</li>
</ul>
Today, senior leaders will meet with the Superintending Committee to request senior privileges, a long time tradition at least over the past ten years. There aren’t a lot of privileges to be had during remote learning, but it is important to not have the seniors miss out on their closing activities. My heart goes out to them. I am determined that graduation will take place but it will be later in the summer. There have been graduations at Foxcroft Academy for 197 years and that streak will remain unbroken.<br /><br />Stay Well and Safe,<br /><br />Arnold Shorey, Head of School
