Massabesic High School Athletic Announcements- Friday 2-25
SPRING SPORTS REGISTRATIONS
We are currently awaiting an announcement from the Maine Principals Association regarding guidelines for High School Spring Sports Seasons. Due to meetings planned at the MPA next week we are expecting to have these guidelines by Friday. If the traditional timelines remain in place MHS Baseball and Softball pitchers and catchers will begin practices on Monday March 22nd with the remaining High School sports will begin the following Monday March 29th. The start date for middle school spring sports would be Monday April 5th. Moving forward with spring sports for the middle school is being considered and in order to make informed decisions and make logistical plans it would be helpful, at both schools, to understand the number of students participating. In anticipation of approval to move forward with a spring sports seasons REVTRAK will open for registrations on Friday March 5th. We strongly encourage all students interested in participating to get registered immediately. The information will be critical in making decisions particularly for middle school programming. Please register as soon as you can to help us with this process.

Nutrition Staff at Massabesic Middle School have prepared special messages on lunch bags today. Happy Thanksgiving!



Happy Veterans Day to our MMS staff veterans, MMS community veterans, and to their families. Thank you for your service to our country, today and everyday. Two holiday reminders: picture day will be tomorrow and Fall Conferences on the 18th. Remember to sign up for a time with your child’s homeroom teacher if you have not done so already. Please reach out if you have any questions!


It has been a great first day back at MMS for our in-person learners! A reminder that student drop off begins at 7:10 a.m. and today starts our new contactless curbside dismissal process for afternoon pick ups. Please see your email or pages 5-6 of the MMS Family Handbook for information. Thank you!

District Nutrition Staff at Waterboro Elementary School promoting free school meals today!


Tuesday, November 3rd is a district wide remote learning day. If you need meals for your children for this day please submit a request by November 1st with the link below.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-AeaVD4_9f9QAgaiIvFu_K4Q-Yxz9F42_X5DrU0gaA8nx7Q/viewform?usp=sf_link


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


MMS Families: Please see our October/November MMS Family Newsletter for information about our anticipated date of return to in-person school, the schedule for our upcoming NWEA testing, and more! As always, please reach out to us at 247-6121 with any questions.
