We’ve asked staff to share positive stories each week and this week there has been so much to share.
Students: Thank you, students, for sharing your talents and amazingness with us and your families at the Art & Music Show. You all have great talent and we love that you share it with us!
Staff: Mrs. G is always so kind to the Kindergartners, Preschoolers and any student she interacts with throughout the day. She helps Mrs. Weller out in the classroom by doing a lot of various tasks and also helps to teach the students both academic and life lessons. She is an important part of our school and we are very lucky to have her!
Thank you Mr. Kirk and Mrs. Campbell for putting together a wonderful Art & Music show to showcase our students’ talents. And thank you to all the staff for helping make the night run smoothly.

We are continuing to move forward with our “Humanity & Justice Coalition” working to ensure all people feel heard, welcome, and safe at Calais Elementary and in our community. We’ve even got a new name - “Humanity and Justice, Calais”. This will be our celebration of all that makes us who we are and will work to ensure we will always be a community that welcomes and respects all people.
As we push forward we are engaging our students to gather their input and help them to drive the process. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me and be sure to talk with your students - those conversations are going to be critical. This is something we believe is important and I personally want to ensure that all viewpoints are heard and all people have a stake in this work. Do not hesitate to reach out to me personally with any questions.

Dear Calais Families,

Food and Gift bags will be dispensed in a discreet and caring manner. This program runs the full school year on a weekly basis with exception to student breaks and summer. This includes winter clothing, Thanksgiving and Christmas presents, in addition. There is no cost associated with this program. If you wish for your child to participate in the program, please sign below and return this letter to the school in your child's folder or drop it off at the Main Office by next Friday. Thank you and please let us know if you have any questions or any needs for your child at any time.
