There have been a few instances in which some students are not adhering to WRVC's expectations, citing confusion between WRVC's expectations and the expectations of their sending schools. In order to clarify, we have been explicitly explaining our expectations.
WRVC has SIXTEEN sending schools, with sixteen unique policies,. In order to build consistency and limit confusion, WRVC has established clear expectations for ALL of our students, from all of our sending schools.
WRVC's implementation of the state law is as follows: Personal Electronic Devices, PEDs, must be powered off, put away and out of sight from the time students arrive on WRVC's campus until their departure from campus. Please see the attached image for more details.
Starting this week, visible devices will be collected by WRVC administration. Devices collected upon arrival will remain in the office until after dismissal.* Devices collected during dismissal will be returned to parents that day or returned to students the next day.* This information has been shared with students via school assemblies, school and classroom announcements, posters and more.
Please reach out to WRVC's assistant director, Kim Bennett, with any questions.
*Repeated violations will result in devices being held until parents can pick them up and/or additional consequences.
(FYI: WRVC's sending schools for the 2026-2027 school year include: Westbrook, Bonny Eagle, Gorham, Scarborough, Windham, Baxter Academy, Biddeford, Cape Elizabeth, Casco Bay, Deering, Gray New Gloucester, Maine Connections Academy, Portland, South Portland, Thornton Academy, & Yarmouth)
WRVC Automotive Program is looking for some vehicles to support student learning. Our Automotive students rely on the hands on experience of working on multiple vehicles and need some 'new to us' cars to use to build our skills.
Please share this with anyone who may be interested. Thank you!
Our business students stepped into the boardroom this week to negotiate their official classroom contracts with school administration. Drawing on their knowledge, experience and preferences, both our Tech I and Tech II classes came to the table fully prepared with thoughtful, polished proposals and justifications on everything from dress code policies to punctuality.
While they successfully advocated for components that will be changed, they also learned that some standards are non-negotiable when preparing for the professional workforce. We are proud of these young professionals for bringing sharp critical thinking, confidence, and real-world strategy to the table!
Today, we had the pleasure of handing out the clothes!!! Our students could not believe this gear was being given to them! Students not only walked out with new clothes, they walked out with smiles and were proud that they are the recipients of this generosity. To see some of the video footage from today, please check. out our Instagram account, @wrvcme. We cannot say it enough, Thank you BRUNT!
If your student has suggestions, please encourage them to use their voices and let us know! (First image is AI generated, but will share photos of students in our lounge soon!)
