Outside Recess
The weather in Maine during this time of year can be chilly. However, winter time in Maine is a great time for our students to go outside and play and create those special memories playing outside at school. The school does carry extra winter gear and those days that a student forgets.

Student Arrival -- Safety Reminder
We would also like to share a quick reminder about morning drop-off procedures to help keep everyone safe and traffic flowing smoothly. If you are walking your student into school, please park in our designated parking spot in Cameron Stadium or on Fruit St. Please remember parking on Fruit St. with the amount of snow spaces will be limited.
Kindly avoid parking or stopping in the Fruit Street School driveway, as this is for bus students only. For those families that are parking in the driveway, will either have a meeting or permission by the office.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support in keeping our mornings safe and efficient for students and staff.
