We have decided to close school again tomorrow, October 27th. Our foremost concern remains the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families. The decision to extend the school closure is a difficult one, made with careful consideration of the current circumstances. Our intention is to resume regular school activities on Monday. In the meantime, please take care of yourself and your loved ones during this challenging time.
Due to last night’s terrible events in Lewiston, area towns still in lockdown, and a potential safety concern for our staff and students attending school today, all RSU 12 schools are closed today out of an abundance of caution. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those impacted by this tragedy.
Our RSU 12 Staff Daycare has limited slots available for children aged 3 to 5. Our staff members have not claimed all these age 3 to 5 slots; thus, we are opening these slots to individuals outside our organization. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who knows someone who is searching for daycare services. Please note that this daycare currently operates on a school-year schedule. Please keep in mind that it is on a first-come, first-served basis. The daycare is located at Windsor Elementary School. If you are interested, kindly email rsu12daycare@gmail.com as soon as possible.
