Happy New Year, Families!
I hope you have had a wonderful holiday season, and that you are greeting the new year in good health and with happy hearts.
After a much needed holiday break, we are excited to welcome our students back on Monday, January 5!
As you prepare for your child's return, I wanted to send a few reminders:
Remember to pack those snow pants, well-fitting hats, snow-worthy gloves or mittens, socks, and boots!
In-town families will see an earlier bus pick up for students who live along the in-town route. Please see the details below.
Finally, please be sure to call the school if your child is absent due to illness, and please make illness or medical appointments the only reasons for missing school in your home. Why not make it a family resolution for 2026!
Here's to a new year of learning, fun, and friendship at school!

AM Bus Run Change
We have hired an additional bus driver. Welcome Bruce Beasley! This puts a 4th bus on the road, which means that starting January 5th, Mr. Greg will be the new in-town bus driver, and the in-town AM run will be about 10 minutes earlier than usual. Please plan accordingly. If you have any questions, please reach out to Transportation Director, Frederica Shorey at (207) 380-3701.
