Due to the Veterans Day Holiday (no school) falling on Wednesday, November 11th this year, and that being a remote learning day for our Kindergarten through 6th grade students, we are going to make Friday of that week a remote learning day and have all students stay home on Friday, November 13th and follow your child's typical Wednesday schedule.
Message from RSU 19 Food Services
There are many families that had a free or reduced lunch benefit last year that have not returned a lunch application for this year. Those statuses have ended. If you have not submitted an application for this year already, you are now full pay. Once the summer program extension ends, all meals will have to paid.
The school district relies on these free/reduced percentages because it directly effects Title 1, Title 2 and Title 4 funding for this year. It effects the rates for internet access and so much more.
Please get a lunch application from your child’s school, fill it out and return it as soon as you can. We need these returned quickly.
Please call David Leighton at 355-3613 or email at dleighton@rsu19.net with questions or to check your child’s lunch status.
Thank You

There are many families that haven't returned the lunch application for free or reduced lunch benefits. Many families could potentially qualify for these benefits. If you haven't already done so, we still need you to return the application for this school year. We are currently in a summer program extension in which kids eat for free. When this extension ends we will return to using free, reduced, or full pay statuses.
If you haven't returned an application please fill one out for your family and return it by October 21st, 2020
You can get an application by contacting your student's school and or downloading it from this link and returning it to your student's school office

I'm pleased to let you know that we are still able to provide free meals to all our student up until late December or until further notice. We will be working out the details for providing meals to our remote learners and at home student days within the next two weeks.
Please also bear with us as we work out our bus run times over the few days. The run times should be very similar to last year and they are posted on our website. Some of the driver names have changed; however, the run are very similar.

Good evening,
We hope that you are all enjoying your summers. We also wanted you to know that the administration and the school board are working on what our return to school will look like this fall. We don’t have all the details put together yet; however, we’re busy planning for how we can safely get our students back to school.
Please stay tuned for any requests for information, like surveys, that we put out to gather our own information from our families. We know that other groups in Maine have asked you for information and we may need this information as well.
Thank you and take care,
Good morning, This is a reminder that the RSU 19 school budget meeting is tomorrow night, June 23rd. We are holding the meeting in the New Nokomis Gym and auditorium. The meeting starts at 7:00 and we will be following safety guidelines for in person meetings.
We hope to see you there.
Good morning,
RSU 19 is no longer providing home delivery for meals. We are providing meals at many sites in our towns where families can access free summer meal feeding from mid June to mid August. We do ask that you sign up for this program, in order to prepare an accurate number of meals. You do not need to get meals in the town your child goes to school, you can use the closest site. However, you do need to sign up for meals. The sign up form is on the district website or contact your local school or the food service department.
Thank you, have a great summer.
The following are summer meal sites. Anyone 18 and under can get meals at no cost under this program. Here is the link to sign up. http://bit.ly/RSU19MEALS This program will run from June 15 -Aug 14th on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
