State Testing begins next week for students! SATs will also occur on 4/15. These assessments are an important opportunity for students to demonstrate their learning and hard work. We are asking for your support in helping your child feel prepared and confident during testing. See the full announcement post for ways you can set your child for success.
Administration was informed last night that Edulink System, Inc. has ceased operations. As a result, the Intouch notification system (our robocall and text system) may be reduced, intermittent, or unavailable. We are currently working diligently to secure an alternative service provider to restore these services as soon as possible. In the meantime, please note that all communications regarding school closures, delays, and other important notifications will be shared through the following channels: Email, The school’s Facebook page, the school website, local news stations (WLBZ Channel 2 and WABI-TV5). If you have questions about a possible closure or delay during this period without the automated system, please call the school and leave a voicemail with the Front Office. Voicemails are forwarded to Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Lewis. You may also email attendance@sad12.org.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to resolve this issue.

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 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.

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.
