Students who ride bus 23 (Mr. Josh) were told that they will be picked up late tomorrow morning, October 8. We have since found a substitute driver so they will be picked up on time. In the afternoon, students who ride bus 23 will need to stay after school for approximately one hour, when another bus driver can transport them home. They will be supervised by staff until the bus can take them home. Please direct any questions to hwilson@svrsu.org. Thank you
We have decided to postpone picture day, originally scheduled for Wednesday, October 7. We will let you know when the newly scheduled day is on our calendar. Thank you for your understanding.
As planned, all schools in RSU 12 will resume in-person learning starting tomorrow, Wednesday, October 7, 2020.

Thank you for your patience this morning during drop-off! We were so happy that many of you were able to drop your children off, and realize that we need to give you more space. Tomorrow we will utilize the loop through the staff parking lot. This should make things go a bit quicker, but with the help of staff we did it all in 20 minutes today!
