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.

To volunteer or chaperone a field trip at any point this school year you will need to complete your volunteer application at: https://www.rsu1.org/page/volunteer-information.

A new application must be completed for EACH new school year.

It is quick and easy!

Our next Spirit Day Friday is December 6

The theme is Pajama.

Wear your pajamas, robes, and maybe a little bed-head.

Here is the schedule for the entire year.
