Grade 3 students will be taking the NWEA/Maine Through Year State Assessment three times this year. (October 13 & 14, January 26 & 27, & May 11 & 13) They will be assessed in both reading and math. These are computer based assessments and students are given as much time as needed to complete the test. These are very important assessments. Please note these days in your calendar and try to schedule appointments on other days. Students will begin the assessments at 9:15 am on those days. Please have your child at school on time, well rested, and with a good breakfast in their belly so they are ready to give their best! As always, thank you for your support!!

The weather is definately Fall-like! We have been having cooler mornings and warmer afternoons. Please dress your child in layers for school and write their names on all of their sweatshirts, long sleeve t-shirts and jackets. We do have a lost and found in our lobby. If your child is missing any items, you are more than welcome to have your child look or you may come in and look yourself.

For the safety of all, please note that we do not allow dogs on the playgrounds, that includes drop off and pick up, even if they are on a leash. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.

It was another Fantastic Week for Attendance! All of our classes met our weekly goal of 95% attendance! When your family makes coming to school a priority, you are helping to build great habits for your child's future. Having your child here every day also helps our entire school community grow stronger. Thank you for your hard work, your persistence, and your excellent commitment to your child's education!

Is there a willing parent/family member able to take over this account for Vine Street? We currently have a previous Vine Street parent doing it and they are ready to "pass the torch"! Please reach out to Mrs. Swett if you are willing to help with this!

The Food Services Department has a variety of open positions in the schools. Please reach out to Noelle Scott, Food Services Director, if you have interest in these positions.
