OTES Family Update

In the event that it is necessary to cancel or close school, the decision will be made by the Superintendent of Schools. The superintendent will then send out an automated notification via text, including the details of the cancellation. Families may also check the RSU 34 website (www.rsu34.org) or app.

It is critical that we have up to date contact information for all students! This ensures you get cancellation notifications and other important updates. Please notify the main office promptly of any changes in address, email, or telephone number.

If a parent/guardian is uncomfortable sending their student to school due to weather, they are allowed to keep their student home. The parent/guardian must notify the office of, and the student will be marked with an excused absence due to weather.

When school is closed for the day or dismissed early, all after-school and evening school-sponsored activities and community use of school facilities will be canceled or postponed. If circumstances change such that reopening facilities would be feasible, the Superintendent or designee may use their discretion to reopen the district facilities for after-school or evening activities. When LMS and OTHS after school activities are canceled, we still hold OTES after school activities because of the timing and available transportation.
