Morovia School Celebrates Student Achievements and Community Engagement Initiatives

The RSU 10 school district celebrated a successful end to the academic year during their recent meeting on July 21, 2025, highlighting numerous achievements and community engagement initiatives. Among the notable events were grade-level field trips that aligned with curriculum goals, a school-wide marble jazz celebration, and two pre-kindergarten graduations, which were described as lively and enjoyable experiences for families.

The meeting also showcased the district's commitment to fostering a positive school environment. Staff at Morovia implemented two key programs that have significantly impacted student behavior and academic performance. Professional development sessions led by Scott Irvine focused on building strong relationships with students and teaching positive behaviors, resulting in a notable decrease in office referrals. Additionally, the introduction of HMH into literacy instruction contributed to a 10% increase in reading scores compared to the previous year.

In a collaborative effort, representatives from middle schools and Rumpet Elementary met to discuss the upcoming Mountain Valley Community School. They emphasized shared priorities, including enhancing recognition systems for students and staff, strengthening family and community connections, and aligning Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) across all schools. Plans for a new Falcon award were also announced to unify recognition efforts.

Looking ahead, the district aims to integrate PBIS into school routines, develop a district-wide award nomination process, and provide collaboration time for implementing check-in and check-out systems. These initiatives reflect a strong commitment to building a unified and positive school culture as the district transitions into the new community school.

The meeting concluded with a warm welcome back to board member Jen Laduc, reinforcing the collaborative spirit of the district as it moves forward into the new school year.
