We had a marvelous turnout for our Open House last Thursday. Thank you very much for coming out and meeting your child's teacher. We had an incredible response to our book fair! There was a line waiting to cash out the entire evening. Profits from the book fair are used to supplement the library collection, provide summer reading materials to students, and purchase enrichment materials for the library. A big thank you to Patty McLaughlin for her help in setting up the book fair, working at it during the week and for breaking it down, and packing up all the books!

Speaking of volunteers, we are still in need of volunteers to supervise our Wednesday morning Great Starts. If you know of someone who would be willing to help, please let us know and we will make sure they get a volunteer form, which we will submit to the Central Office.

RSU 1 is looking for individuals to work with students at all levels as substitute Teachers, Nurses & Educational Technicians. Please visit our Substitute Information page to learn more.

Miss Anna and the RSU1 work hard to include locally grown produce in our school lunches every day, and during National Harvest Week. Thank you to the Phippsburg Community Garden volunteers and the Woolwich Gleaners who have also contributed to PES.

Great Start on LSW is an enrichment program for K-5 students, run by approved RSU1 adult volunteers. Participation is optional, and the program takes place from 8:15-9:15AM. Transportation is not provided by the school. We still need volunteers, but so far will offer Gym Activities, Board Games & Puzzles, Outdoor Exploration/Walking the Woods Trail/Loop, and Arts & Crafts. This session will be from October 5th through December 14th.

Parents, please review the enclosed RSU1 Bus Behavior Guidelines with your child today. They are enclosed in paper form and can be viewed HERE. Thank you

Interested in joining Girl Scouts? Please join us for a parent information night on Thursday, September 29 at 6:30 at the Bath United Methodist Church. For more information, please contact Jennifer Peavey at blackwellpeavey@gmail.com. (This is not an RSU1 sponsored activity).

The RSU1 Technology department has sent home forms for 3rd-5th graders today: a white form parents need to review with their student and parent signs each line, then returns to PES, and a bright green form if they want their child to be able to bring home a Chromebook. If that is the case, complete and return the bright green form to school as well. Thank you.

While we are trying to make our newsletter more mobile apps friendly, some forms in links may present better on a computer than on a phone.
