Due to the extreme heat advisory this afternoon, all RSU 12 schools will be closing at 12:30 pm today. Our buildings do not have air conditioning and many classrooms are expected to get over 100 degrees. Thank you for your patience and understanding with this unexpected early dismissal.
Please be aware that there is a menu change for tomorrow and Thursday.
On 9/6 we will be having a ham and cheese wrap, veggie sticks , strawberry cup and milk for lunch. On 9/7 the lunch will be grilled chicken caesar salad, bread stick, peach cup and milk.
From Principal Deblois:
Whew...the first days flew by but were positive and productive.
Our new procedure for parents bringing their children to school and picking them up at the close of school is working very well. With that said, I am still observing parents parking on Route #126. Please use the upper parking lot for everyone's sake. Even this afternoon, with a large number of parents coming in to pick up their children, there were a good number of vacant parking spots available. Also, with the exception of the parking spot next to the handicapped reserved space, the spaces directly in front of the school are available for parent usage as well. Finally, please enter and exit the upper parking lot through the entrance closest to the playground / basketball court (the left side entrance if you are facing the school). This will keep you from being caught up in bus traffic and will provide plenty of room for our buses to maneuver.
I recognize this procedure is all new and has actually worked quite well. With a few more tweaks it will even be better.
Thanks for your cooperation in this effort and I hope you all enjoy a terrific holiday weekend. We'll see everyone on Tuesday.

Yesterday, volunteers from Calvary Bible Baptist Church came over and started painting 4 square courts on our newly resurfaced basketball court. They look amazing, but they aren't finished yet. They plan on coming back this weekend to finish up the work. The basketball court is roped off. We ask that everyone stay off of the basketball court until the caution tape comes down. We thank you for you r cooperation in this.
