The heat is on! It's that time of year when morning temperatures feel like winter, but sunny afternoons feel like late summer still. Our building has varied temperatures as well, with some rooms staying very warm and others very cool. Please help us keep students comfortable by having layers they can use when it's cold, and take off when it warms up. If your family needs assistance with seasonal clothing, we can often help with that need - please let your child's teacher, our guidance counselor Mrs. Dean (ndean@rsu1.org) or myself - the principal (jmckay@rsu1.org) know and we will help!

RSU1 and the Sagadahoc Sheriff's Office have partnered together to invite parents, guardians, and caregivers to an Internet Safety Night. Come learn how to talk to students about what they see on the internet, as well as ways they can avoid being victimized on the internet. The Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Office, a local affiliate of Maine State Police Computer Crimes, has been working with RSU1 to share internet safety presentations to its students. These presentations cover privacy and security on the internet, good citizenship, and social media use. This new presentation is designed for adults trying to guide and safeguard their students online.

We are looking forward to the Monster Mash that will be at Bath Middle School on Friday 10/25! If you are interested in donating some items for the event please use the link below!
