RSU 57

The RSU 57 Strategic Planning Committee is pleased to announce our 2nd Community Forum to be held on August 28, 2023 at 7pm at Massabesic High School Auditorium. The Committee has targeted this date as we have several school Open House events taking place earlier that same evening and the hope is limit the number of evenings families are having to be out. The Forum will be an opportunity for parents, guardians, community members, students and staff to review the draft of the Strategic Plan and provide the committee with important feedback prior to a draft plan being shared with the RSU 57 School Board. The RSU 57 Strategic Plan will set the goals and initiatives that will drive the future of education in RSU 57. The Strategic Planning Committee wants to hear from our greater RSU 57 community to ensure the finalized plan captures the community's hopes, aspirations and priorities to the greatest extent possible. MHS National Honors Society will be providing child care during the meeting. We look forward to hosting our RSU 57 community on August 28 at 7pm at the Massabesic High School Auditorium.

Yearbook Distribution Information!

Good Morning RSU 57 Community. In an ongoing effort to keep our student information as current and accurate as possible, RSU 57 will now utilize an annual verification process.  This is for all returning students to RSU 57 from the 2022-23 school year.  (New students to RSU 57 must be registered via the “2023/2024 School Year New Student Registration” portal in ParentVUE.) This process ensures we have the most current information for each of our students and their family so that we may communicate effectively with families and it best ensures the safety of our students.   Families are asked to review the information the district has on file in ParentVUE and make any needed changes, as well as read and acknowledge the included policies and/or required questions.  This verification process will take 5-10 mins or less.  If you do not know your ParentVUE login please email parentvue@rsu57.org for assistance. You will hear back between the hours of 7:00 AM - 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Please visit the link below for detailed instructions on how to complete this important process. It is required that ALL returning students have this annual verification completed prior to the start of the school year. We appreciate your assistance with this effort to ensure each of our RSU 57 students has up-to-date information in our student information system. https://rsu57.incidentiq.com/kb/articles/a6f65974-1815-4444-8ff3-ea4aa1482d5a Lastly, please note that viewing items such as your child's schedule, past grades, etc. will not be available until August 14 in ParentVUE. We wish you all a healthy and happy remainder of summer.
