Good Evening RSU 57 Community,
Today, RSU 57 excitedly welcomed over 1,900 students in grades 1-9 for their first day of school. The success of today could not have been possible without the diligence of our educators, administrators and staff in our Transportation, Nutrition and Maintenance departments. Additionally, we are grateful for the efforts of parents and caregivers as they continue to support our students’ learning in this new year.
RSU 57 looks forward to welcoming back students in grades 10-12 tomorrow, August 31 and our youngest students in Pre-K and Kindergarten on September 5.
Here’s to a wonderful 2023-2024 school year.
My Best,
Stephen D. Marquis, PhD.

Good Morning RSU 57 Community.
In an ongoing effort to keep our student information as current and accurate as possible, RSU 57 will now utilize an annual verification process. This is for all returning students to RSU 57 from the 2022-23 school year. (New students to RSU 57 must be registered via the “2023/2024 School Year New Student Registration” portal in ParentVUE.) This process ensures we have the most current information for each of our students and their family so that we may communicate effectively with families and it best ensures the safety of our students.
Families are asked to review the information the district has on file in ParentVUE and make any needed changes, as well as read and acknowledge the included policies and/or required questions. This verification process will take 5-10 mins or less. If you do not know your ParentVUE login please email parentvue@rsu57.org for assistance. You will hear back between the hours of 7:00 AM - 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday.
Please visit the link below for detailed instructions on how to complete this important process. It is required that ALL returning students have this annual verification completed prior to the start of the school year. We appreciate your assistance with this effort to ensure each of our RSU 57 students has up-to-date information in our student information system.

Lastly, please note that viewing items such as your child's schedule, past grades, etc. will not be available until August 14 in ParentVUE.
We wish you all a healthy and happy remainder of summer.
Get excited, MMS...team letters are being mailed out today! Look for your letter by mid-week and contact the Main Office if you don't have one by Friday. We can't wait to see you soon!

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.

MMS welcomed our incoming 6th graders at Step Up Days this week! Thank you to our 7th and 8th grade presenters and tour guides for their leadership and for making the visit so very fun. We can't wait to have you all join us next year!
Last week we welcomed back our team, NCL Turbines, from the National KidWind Challenge in Boulder, CO. Noah Crosby, Chase Morin, and Landon Lawrence competed in multiple challenges, collaborated with collegiate partners, presented their knowledge to industry experts, and represented MMS incredibly well over the four day event.
Our huge thanks to their families and to Coach April Perreault for accompanying and supporting the team. This trip was made possible by the support of our generous donors. Our tremendous thanks to:
Stephen Kosacz, Founder and Former President of Autoworks
The Mercier-Wilson Family

and RSU 57
Thing 1 and Thing 2 are the Cat in the Hat's loyal companions, and in this show they serve to move along the set and scenery as well. It's no easy feat to play the role of both cast and crew, but 8th grader Alexus Vachon and 7th grader Emma Hamilton have mastered this balance.
And finally, meet the Cat in the Hat, played by 8th grader Ace Horgan. The Cat is charming, funny, animated, and the humble narrator of our entire production! Come laugh along with our Cat at Seussical Jr. presented at Massabesic Middle School this weekend!
Show dates Friday, the 19th, and Saturday, the 20th, at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. Tickets on sale at the door. Cash sales only please. We hope to see you there!
Massabesic Middle School June Menus!
