Good evening, We hope that you are all enjoying your summers. We also wanted you to know that the administration and the school board are working on what our return to school will look like this fall. We don’t have all the details put together yet; however, we’re busy planning for how we can safely get our students back to school. Please stay tuned for any requests for information, like surveys, that we put out to gather our own information from our families. We know that other groups in Maine have asked you for information and we may need this information as well. Thank you and take care,

Good morning, This is a reminder that the RSU 19 school budget meeting is tomorrow night, June 23rd. We are holding the meeting in the New Nokomis Gym and auditorium. The meeting starts at 7:00 and we will be following safety guidelines for in person meetings. We hope to see you there.

Good morning, RSU 19 is no longer providing home delivery for meals. We are providing meals at many sites in our towns where families can access free summer meal feeding from mid June to mid August. We do ask that you sign up for this program, in order to prepare an accurate number of meals. You do not need to get meals in the town your child goes to school, you can use the closest site. However, you do need to sign up for meals. The sign up form is on the district website or contact your local school or the food service department. Thank you, have a great summer.

The following are summer meal sites. Anyone 18 and under can get meals at no cost under this program. Here is the link to sign up. http://bit.ly/RSU19MEALS This program will run from June 15 -Aug 14th on Monday and Wednesday of each week.

Good evening, Due to the holiday on Monday, May 25th our meal deliveries will be on Tuesday the 26th and Thursday the 28th. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

This is a reminder that we will be starting bulk meal deliveries tomorrow, Tuesday, April 21st. Please be patient as our routes may be earlier of later than the normal schedule. Thank you.

Starting during vacation next week, the RSU is going to begin bulk meal delivery two times per week. We will provide meals for the entire week. Vacation delivery will be on Tuesday, April 21st and Thursday, April 23rd. After that we will deliver on each Monday and Wednesday.

As part of the Governor's "Stay Healthy at Home" mandate, we are extending our school closure until May 1st. The Maine CDC is advising that additional social and physical distancing measures are needed to slow the spread of COVID 19 to save lives and improve the ability of the healthcare system to respond. During this time we strongly urge you to follow the advice of public health officials in order to protect the health and well being of our community. This is a challenging time for everyone and we are committed to providing as much support as we can...

Good morning, As we enter the next phase or our instruction, we have the following update regarding meals and instructional materials for Tuesday March 31st. As we will be delivering various educational materials for identified students along with the daily meals, our bus schedule will be different from the regular food service delivery. Not all families will get instructional materials on Tuesday, only those that have been in contact with us and are in need. We hope to stay on our regular meal delivery schedule as much as possible; however, there will be delays. For the safety of our staff and students we will not be making any personal contact during these deliveries. We will not be picking up the previous educational materials as these were skill building and support assignments. Please continue to practice social distancing, hand washing, and other safety habits related to the Covid-19 virus. We wish you all the best in these trying times.

Good morning, It is with the safety of our students and communities in mind that RSU#19 will be extending the school closure and remote learning days until after April vacation. Students will return on April 27th. April vacation will remain as it is from April 20th to April 24th. We will still provide meals to our families through the Summer Feeding program with delivery on our school buses. If we make any changes in this process we will communicate directly to you through our regular messaging systems. We understand the hardship this places on our families; however, the ultimate safety of the entire school system is at risk if we do not continue to distance ourselves from each other.
