PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

As Halloween approaches, we wanted to remind everyone of our school’s policy regarding Halloween celebrations. To ensure a fun and inclusive environment, we kindly ask families to not send students to school in costumes and refrain from bringing candy or treats to school. Our goal is to maintain a focus on learning and avoid potential distractions or safety concerns related to costumes and food allergies. While we understand that Halloween can be an exciting time, we want to maintain a learning environment free of added distractions. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Internet Safety Night

Date: Monday, November 4th

Time: 6:00-7:00pm

Location: Montgomery Auditorium, Morse High School/Bath Tech


RSU1 and the Sagadahoc Sheriff's Office have partnered together to invite parents, guardians, and caregivers to an Internet Safety Night. Come learn how to talk to students about what they see on the internet, as well as ways they can avoid being victimized on the internet. The Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Office, a local affiliate of Maine State Police Computer Crimes, has been working with RSU1 to share internet safety presentations to its students. These presentations cover privacy and security on the internet, good citizenship, and social media use. This new presentation is designed for adults trying to guide and safeguard their students online.

To volunteer or chaperone a field trip at any point this school year you will need to complete your volunteer application at: https://www.rsu1.org/page/volunteer-information.
