On September 12, Massabesic High School's Navy JROTC cadets had the opportunity to experience getting underway on the 47-foot Motor Lifeboat during a field trip to the Coast Guard Station in South Portland. This lifeboat is an essential search and rescue vessel used by the U.S. Coast Guard, especially in heavy weather. During the visit, students toured the station, learned about the daily routines, and gained insight into various Coast Guard missions and rates.

Dear RSU 57 Community,
Today marks an exciting milestone as all 2,910 students across RSU 57 returned to school. Our Pre-K and Kindergarten students, along with those in grades 10-12, began their first day of the 2024-2025 school year today. Our dedicated staff are thrilled to welcome both new and returning learners into our schools and classrooms.
As we ease into the new school year, we ask for your patience with our transportation department. Our youngest learners, particularly our 4 and 5-year-old students, are still getting accustomed to boarding and exiting school buses and vehicles safely. We anticipate that elementary bus runs may be slightly delayed over the next three days as we assist these students during this transition. Your cooperation and understanding are essential to ensuring a smooth and safe experience for everyone.
Finally, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all the students, families, and caregivers who attended our annual school open houses last week. Your involvement is invaluable as we work together to prepare our students for success in an ever-changing world.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we embark on another year of learning and growth.
Sincerely,
Stephen D. Marquis, PhD.
Superintendent of Schools
