From the Superintendent
On Monday, the MSAD #51 Board voted to enter into an option agreement to secure another half-acre of abutting land that would add to the 2.3 acres purchased by voters last June. This additional parcel would improve the design of the school and ensure expansion options for the facility, if needed, down the road. This option agreement must be approved by voters as part of a complete bond package on a new school project. To learn more about the status of this project, please refer to last week's newsletter.
After the break, I will continue with the Science of Reading series. If you missed the first segment, check it out here.
My best to all families and staff as we all take a mid-winter break next week. Maybe we'll see some snow soon!
Regards,
Jeff Porter

Attendance Reporting
To further streamline our attendance reporting, families can now alert schools of their child’s late arrivals, early dismissals and full day absences through the PowerSchool Parent Portal by following these instructions.
Note: Under Maine Statute §5001-A, planned absences require administrator pre-approval. Therefore, these may not be reported in the portal and still require completion of a Planned Absence Form.
Attendance can still be reported with an email or phone call to your child’s school office.
