May Daze

On Monday we headed into a busy yet successful week as students balanced work and MEA/NWEA testing, sports, fundraisers and plenty of sunshine! 

The May 14, 2021  "PK-12 and Adult Education Public Health Guidance" from the Maine Department of Education includes numerous changes and updates for Maine schools to consider. 

Next week all AOS 93 schools will no longer require students to wear masks or maintain prior social distancing requirements during outdoor classes and recess. 

This is a significant change for all of our students and staff. The change of operating procedures is supported by our school nurses and principals. Although some area schools may not implement this change to their face covering protocols because there is so little time remaining in this school year, we believe it an important step to take in approaching a more normalized school experience for our students and it also follows CDC recommendations. 

Eighth grade fundraising efforts have concluded. We're grateful to many NCS families and the community for helping to make these projects a success.  Raffle prizes will be drawn on Saturday, May 22.  We hope you'll get a call from the 8th grade! 

Grades 4, 7, 8 and CAL have trips coming up during week of 5/24-5/28.  Outing Club group #1 will also be heading off on a backpacking adventure on Friday, 5/28. Softball and baseball games continue this week--GO LIONS.  

It's a busy time of year. Be kind to yourselves by also scheduling in some good rest!

Take care,  

Have a nice weekend. Stay focused!
