Dear RSU 57 Community.
We ask that parents and caregivers NOT come to RSU 57 schools to dismiss their student at this time. All schools are in a hold-in-place and students are safe. In order to maintain safety and orderly school operations, we ask that parents/caregivers be patient as we work through this situation.
We have reason to believe that the reports from Sanford are not credible and that similar false reports have been made at multiple high schools throughout the State of Maine.
While it seems a counterintuitive request, parents/caregivers are asked not to approach school grounds or attempt to retrieve your child at this time. Increased traffic and frequent opening and closing of doors could compromise school safety. We will provide an update when we have additional information.
Thank You,
Stephen D. Marquis
Superintendent of Schools

Lyman Elementary: Miss. Haynes's kindergarten class is wrapping up their unit on community. Students have learned what communities are, what it means to be a part of a community and community helpers that help our community. Today, two community helpers visited the classroom. Students listened to Officer Vaughan to learn about his role as a police officer in the community, and Mrs. Vaughan to learn about her role as a hairdresser in the community. Student's even explored a real police patrol car!
5th graders at Alfred Elementary School collected new pairs of socks in all sizes to donate to the RSU 57 Community Closet and York County Shelter Programs. Socks are among the most requested items at homeless shelters. With the help of the Alfred community, students donated 200 pairs of socks!
Ms. Secunde's First Grade Class at Line Elementary voted on compiling books for other classroom libraries as part of their end-of-unit project from the Focus on First reading curriculum. The students chose books for each grade level, packaged them, and delivered them with a note!
Due to staffing shortages, Bus 2274 servicing Line Elementary School, Massabesic Middle School and Massabesic High School will be out of service on Monday November 7th for one day only. We apologize for this inconvenience.
5th grade students at Lyman Elementary had some really cool book projects on display. Mrs. Richards class did Book Buffets where students had to divided the project into 5 sections, character, Introduction, setting, plot/summary, and your opinion of the book. Mrs. Marines class did Pizza Book Projects and each "pizza" was divided into 8 slices that highlighted the theme, characters, setting, conflict, rising action, climax, what they would change if they were the author and favorite part. Direct quotes and page numbers needed to be included. Each student presented the projects to the class and were scored on a rubric. Students did an amazing job.
Lyman Elementary School 5th grade students were able to collect 316 pairs of socks for the Socktober fundraiser. These socks will be
donated to the RSU57 Community Closet and the York County Shelter Programs.

Alfred Elementary's "Share Table" is up and running thanks to the leadership of Nurse Betty! AES students will help reduce food waste by placing unused & unopened food items from their school meals onto our share table, while also encouraging the consumption of healthy foods. A special thank you to our PTSA and Alfred Community for the purchase of our new refrigerator, making this project possible!
A super special THANK YOU to our Alfred Fire Department for their time, effort and energy given to the children of Alfred Elementary School today! Students enjoyed learning about the emergency vehicles, the responsibilities of a fire fighter, and how to stay safe in an emergency. They also enjoyed the hands on experience of both an obstacle course and aimed a fire hose at a target! Thanks to AES parent Matt Leach for once again taking the lead to organize this special event for our students. Please know how much you all are appreciated :)
November breakfast & lunch menus are now available!!

Have a pleasant afternoon.
Our fall scholastic book fair at AES was a success! Thanks to the support of the community, I am happy to share that we had over $3500 in book sales! With every book sold, AES earns "scholastic dollars" to purchase books for our classroom and leveled libraries. A special thank you to Kris Bear for her organization and oversight of our event, and to Mrs. White & Mrs. Paradis for running our family literacy night during our even book fair hours. Thanks also to the community volunteers who oversaw our daytime classroom book fair visits!
