We are so excited to meet the incoming Tigers! Our current Pre-K and Kindergarten students will have no school on Wednesday, April 29th to allow for the screening of the incoming students.
We are once again pleased to host a visiting artist from Monson Arts. Please help us create a Mandala Community Weaving with artist Sarah Haskell! We are looking for the following materials:
• Yarn – any color or weight.
• Felt or fabric scraps and yardage. Bright solid colors are
best but not necessary.
• Sewing trims, ribbons, lace and pipe cleaners.
• Beads, feathers, buttons, plastic or wood scraps, shells
or fun foam.
Please drop off materials to the front office at school by May 18th
National Teacher Appreciation Week is May 4–8, and this year we are excited to do something extra special to celebrate all of our teachers and staff for the incredible work they do with our students each day.
During the week, we will be hosting fun “radio-style” shows aired over our school intercom, featuring appreciation messages, contests, and special surprises for staff.
We would love your help in making this week a week of appreciation and fun for all (we do think the students will enjoy the "radio shows" as well). Please see the full announcement post for a letter with more details on things we are looking for help with. A few short messages of appreciation for us to read "on air", would really help us kick off our radio shows!
Thank you for helping us show our appreciation and celebrate the amazing educators and staff who support our students every day.
The JRCA PTA has sponsored this weeklong student performance program, and we are so excited for our students to have this opportunity! See the full announcement post for more details and the permission slip (these will be sent home with students on Monday 4/28 as well). For the greater FHS community we hope you will mark your calendars for the performances on May 8th at 12:30 pm and May 9th at 5:30 pm, and please come out and support the Spaghetti Supper that is being put on to help offset the cost of providing this program for our school.
On Friday our teams participated in the Pinecone League Tournament. Our boys took on Madison; they played well but came up short losing 24-57. Our girls had a very close game with Athens but ultimately fell 39-37 on a last second shot. We were also honored with two all-stars from each of our teams: Lillian Coleman, Avery Rancourt, Ashton Feliberty, and James Scrivner. Don't forget that the middle school basketball season will wrap up on 2/23rd with the parent game and awards ceremony. The awards ceremony will start at 5 PM, followed by the parents' games, and the night will conclude with our pizza dinner.
The games against Rangeley were postponed for Friday 1/9 but have been rescheduled to Saturday 1/10 games will start at 10:30am. Bus will leave at 7am. Go Tigers!
The varsity basketball teams had an exciting weekend at KVCC. The girls won the first game 49-41 and won the second game 31-25. The boys won the first game 65-54, in O.T., and then won the second game 46-44. There has been an update to the varsity schedule, we will now be playing Rangeley at Kents Hill on 1/2nd. The girls will be scrimmaging vs. Rangeley at 11 and then the boys will follow. Don't forget that next weekend is the ACC play day where our girls will be playing North Haven and the boys will be scrimmaging Wiscasset. If you click on the link above you will find the updated schedule. Go tigers!
The winter sports season officially begins today. Remember all paperwork must be received by coaches, or the front office, before any athlete participates. There have been some slight changes to our schedules since I posted last, the main one being that there is no varsity boys program for North Haven this year. Right now, I have not found an opponent to replace them on the schedule for the boys, but I have been working on this since the news broke. If you click on the link you will find updated schedules. Go tigers!
Formative achievement tests will be given to students in grades K – 10th grade in the Fall, Winter and Spring. Individual achievement, intelligence, and/or aptitude tests are given by the special education personnel upon written parental permission. You are entitled to and will be given the results of all tests given to your child. Don’t hesitate to ask for a full explanation of the results if one has not been given to your satisfaction. Remember that the major purpose of testing is to measure and improve student learning.
RSU 82 utilizes all assessment data to help inform our practices at the district, school, classroom and individual levels for our students. Although we encourage students and parents to participate fully in our assessment program, it is important to note that parents/guardians may opt their child out of state testing. If you are interested in doing so, please reach out to Mr. Lacasse to make this request in writing.
