Good Evening RSU 57 Families. You can view this week's Community Newsletter by clicking the link below. Have a great last week of school and a very happy summer! https://www.smore.com/va37z
In December of 2022, RSU #57 was granted $25,000 from the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation National Paralysis Resource Center to build an ADA compliant playground at the Massabesic East building. Known as the "Little Mustang Meadow", this play area will be accessed during the school day by elementary age students who attend high needs special education programming in Waterboro. The accessible ground cover will provide greater access to our young learners as well as to our community members who may have mobility challenges.
Construction of the playground finished on June 8. Although there are still a few remaining features to be added, the Little Mustang Meadow is NOW OPEN to our students and community members! Click the video below to watch the transformation.
RSU #57 is appreciative of the generosity and support that we have received from the Reeve Foundation and are excited to have this feature in our community.

Synergy for MHS students experienced a programming malfunction yesterday (June 6) and sent notifications to parents for any and all students who were marked tardy and/or absent yesterday - even for those students whose parents excused their tardies/absences. Our Technology Department is looking into this issue to find resolution. We apologize for this inconvenience.
A reminder that your Senior Breakfast begins at 8:00 am in the cafeteria and Marching Practice begins at 9:00 am in the gymnasium. Practice should finish between 12:30 and 1:00 pm today.
See you soon!
SENIOR SEND-OFF CELEBRATION IS STILL ON! We have moved this event to the bus drop-off/pick-up area between the high school and central office to avoid the wet areas of our athletics fields. We will have food and games for all attendees as we celebrate our soon-to-be graduates. We encourage attendees to bring their own camp chair(s) if they would like! We start at 5:00 pm and will wrap up by 7:00 pm!
Senior Class Trip Cancellation
The Senior Class Trip to Brownstone Adventure Park scheduled for Sunday, June 4th has been cancelled. We understand this decision may be upsetting and we apologize for this inconvenience and cancellation. The park is closing to the public tomorrow due to weather conditions. After considering these weather conditions (high of 60 degrees, 40% chance of rain during the hours we had intended to visit) and the fact that nearly all of the activities in the park involve water, we feel it is prudent to save students the frustration and disappointment of 8 hours of travel for 3-4 hours of a cold and unpleasant visit. Unfortunately, we are unable to reschedule this trip between now and graduation. Mrs. Pellegrino & Mrs. Ellis are working to determine refund amounts from the park and they will be working with your Class Officers to decide on uses for those funds prior to your upcoming graduation.
We still have several events coming up this week for the class to celebrate together:
Monday June 5th - Senior Send-Off Celebration BBQ
Tuesday, June 6th - Senior Breakfast before marching practice
Wednesday, June 7th - Awards Night & Hypnotist Event
Thursday, June 8th - Graduation & Project Grad
Attention Class of 2023 Students & Parents: the Senior Send-Off Celebration is POSTPONED - out of an abundance of caution due to potential thunderstorms in our area today, we are moving this event to Monday, June 5 from 5:00pm - 7:00pm at the MHS Stadium and surrounding fields.
UPDATE on MDOT Road Work: Ossipee Hill Road at Middle Road where the two connect is completely closed this afternoon for continued work on that particular section. Please seek alternative routes.
Thank you!
DISMISSAL TODAY: The Department of Transportation is conducting road work in our area this afternoon and we should avoid the following areas to help ease congested traffic:
From Middle Road to Straw Mill Road (Ossippee Hill Road as well)
Thank you!
