The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is extending the Summer Food Service Program through December 2020. What does this mean to RSU 12 students and families? Free School Meals (breakfast and lunch) for all students until the end of December, 2020. FREE MEALS will be available to all in-school students. FREE MEALS will be available to all remote learning students for parent/guardian pick-up. If your child is a remote learner and you would like to pick up meals for them, please contact their school next week.

Greetings Chelsea families! Thank you for your patience with waiting for the bus schedule. Below is the schedule for morning pick-ups and afternoon drop offs. Please make sure to be waiting 10-15 minutes before your time, and don't worry if the buses are running a little late, especially at first. Also, Wednesdays are early releases at 1:30 so drop-off times will be about 20 minutes earlier than the schedule on those days. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D35rZVpVUAp8_QgCZa1HVJWhYTvH40rI/view?usp=sharing

Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 14th is voting day. The RSU 12 School Budget is on the ballot. Please remember to vote!

We are resending the child care survey because we heard from several people that it would be helpful to know the anticipated costs in order to respond. Through a partnership with RSU 12, the Boys and Girls Club of Kennebec Valley is exploring options for providing child care in RSU 12 schools in the coming year. The weekly cost is expected to be about $90 during the school year and $125 for a vacation week. In order to inform these plans, please take a moment to complete this survey and let us know if your family is interested in childcare before or after school and on school vacations. The survey will be open until Thursday, July 16. We apologize for having to ask you to complete it again but hope the information about cost is helpful. Thank you! https://forms.gle/N723adspLGCS8FEY8
