Last year we held our first Veterans Day celebration to honor and thank all of our local Veterans. Sadly, due to the restrictions around COVID 19, we are unable to hold a full celebration this year however we do look forward to continuing our new tradition next year.
We do want to thank, honor and celebrate all who have served our country. We plan to share a small thank you with our veterans who are a part of our Shapleigh community on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week. Please see the attached invitation and we hope you are able to drive through to see what our learners have prepared for you!
Please see the updated library plan for the 20-21 school year.

On October 9th the USDA announced the extension of free meals to all children 18 and under through the end of the 2020-2021 school year!
Free meals consist of breakfast and lunch and must be a complete reimbursable meal in order to meet federal guidelines. Enrolled, in-person learners may receive free meals while attending school in-person. Remote learners, home schooled children, and any child 18 and under that is not of school age may pre-order meals for pick up by submitting the following form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdADGQNbsN3SNxOr23avHOMyeoo-sw39h5Nq6C0bTgL57MERg/viewform?usp=sf_link
RSU 57 highly recommends that all households continue to submit free and reduced applications for meal price benefits if you feel you may qualify. Each school district receives federal and state funding based on the percentage of students that are approved for free or reduced meal prices. Under counting those eligible for this program could harm many educational programs we rely on to serve our students. Regardless of whether your student chooses to receive school meals or not, it is critical that we properly account for all who are eligible.
If you have any questions related to free meals, meal price benefit applications or remote meal pick up please contact the School Nutrition Department directly by calling (207)247-3221 x2257 or emailing vanessarichardson@rsu57.org

What a great first week with our in person and remote learners! Thank you so much for your support and flexibility while we navigate the changes this year. In working to make our arrival and dismissal process more efficient and safe, we are asking all families to remain in their vehicles and if your child needs support buckling to please pull up past the yellow cone to the side of the driveway before doing so.
