Waterville Public Schools, RSU18, and Mid-Maine Regional Adult Community Education have closed through the month of April, in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19. MMRACE has cancelled enrichment classes for April to keep our students and staff safe. At the end of April we will reassess where we are and if we can move forward with May classes. Please email our office at adulted@aos92.org if you have any questions. Thank you for your patience and support as we work to stay connected to our students and keep our communities healthy.

Your response in the 2020 Census is critical to help our communities and state. What does the Census do? ? The Census determines how many House of Representatives each state can elect to represent their state in Congress. ? The Census helps determine the amount of federal funding each community receives. ? The Census helps communities plan for community needs like new roads, schools, and emergency services. ? The Census helps businesses determine the best place to open their business. Who should complete the Census? The census will count everyone living in the United States and is collected by household. Therefore, everyone living in all 50 states is required by law to be counted in the 2020 Census. The census survey collects information by household – so parents will complete the census for any dependents living in their household. How can I complete the census survey?
