A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Just wanted you to know that I have thoroughly enjoyed my brief time at PES ~ (my last day is this Friday, February 16). The students are a delight and the staff very professional. You have an awesome school! I know you will all be happy when Mrs. G-P returns after the break and things return to normal again for you. I wish you all a fun, safe, and relaxing February break. It's been a pleasure! Mr. Soule

REMINDERS

During the car line/student drop off and pick up time, please be sure to leave a space for arriving staff to pull in and park, or departing staff to leave. Thank you for your assistance.


Remember, there's NO SCHOOL February 19th through the 23rd due to the February break. We hope you have a wonderful, healthy, and restful break!


Community participation is always welcome and wanted at the RSU1 School Board meetings. The next meeting is Monday, February 26th, at 6PM-8PM at Morse High School, 826 Shipbuilder Drive in Bath.

NURSE NOTE

We have 36 remaining boxes of COVID tests. Each box has 2 tests. If you have not obtained one-and would like one-please reach out, and I can leave a box for you in Mrs. Doran's office. First come, first serve.


Please remember, if a student has a fever, or diarrhea, or vomiting, they must be symptom-free (with no medication in the event of fever) for 24 hours from the last episode before returning to school. Thank you.


Have a healthy break!

Advance notice helps us to ensure we have enough materials. We look forward to assisting you.
