Dear RSU 57 Community,
This afternoon at approximately 3:15, school staff were notified of a domestic violence situation in the town of Alfred. Out of an abundance of caution, York County Sheriff’s advised all surrounding schools and public offices to activate a hold in place. As such, we responded by canceling all after-school activities and sporting events at MHS and brought students into the building to await pickup. At this time, we are asking all caregivers to come to the MHS main entrance to pick up their children if they were attending after-school activities on campus. Students who have their own cars will be dismissed shortly for their return home following the dismissal of all pickups. Visiting teams have returned or are en route to their sending districts.
As always, student and staff safety is our first priority, and something we take very seriously. We appreciate the prompt communication to RSU57 by the Sheriff’s Office in responding to this domestic matter in Alfred.
We will continue to be forthcoming with our community about the details of this situation should anything change and we appreciate your support.
Best,
Stephen D. Marquis
Superintendent of School
Today, Massabesic High School held a Career Fair to encourage students to think about their plans after high school and the steps they need to take in order to reach their goals. Students had the opportunity to engage with thirty-eight businesses which represented careers in engineering, manufacturing, education, government, the military, and more. Students represented MHS well as they asked inquisitive questions and had meaningful conversations about future career opportunities. Thank you to all of the vendors and their representatives who attended today’s event, as well as the Career & College Readiness PLC and our students for making the event a success! You can view more images of today’s Career Fair by following the link below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE6_WITPTJo
Lyman Elementary Kindergarten students in Miss Sundik's class have been learning about building and construction around the world as a part our K for ME program.
Please see the School Assembly Letter from Principal Thurlow.
Each summer our Lyman Elementary School and students participate in a summer reading program put on by the Free Masons called Read to Ride. We select two school-wide winners whose names are sent in to the state drawing. This year our very own Ryker Gendron won a bike. He recently was able to go to the store and pick out the bike he wanted. The smile tells it all! We are so proud of his efforts this past summer!
Congratulations to the newly inducted SRTC students who are now members of the National Technical Honor Society! (Pictured here)
