We know many homes are still without power and the flooding has caused major damage across the city. You are in our thoughts, and additionally we thank maintenance and custodian crews who have been working endlessly to care for our schools. Most Augusta schools have had power restored and are ready to welcome students back. There will be school on Thursday, 12/21/2023, for all schools except Farrington Elementary (which is still without power).
Out of an abundance of caution and concern for dangerous road conditions and ongoing flooding, all Augusta Schools will be closed tomorrow 12/20/2023.

Augusta Superintendent Search Community Forum at 6 pm on Monday the 11th at the Lithgow Library.
You are invited to attend an Augusta Superintendent Search Community Forum. The Forum is for parents, community members, city elected officials, school staff, students and will be led by Steve Bailey, Executive Director of the Maine School Management Association who has been hired to help lead the search process.
Typically, these forums last 60-75 minutes. This session has been set up to have you engage in a few questions to help identify skills, qualities and characteristics you think will be valuable for the next superintendent to have. Anonymous responses will be recorded and collated into a report that the Augusta Superintendent Search Committee will use to help identify candidates they will want to interview.
Thank you in advance for your interest and participation in this Community Forum. Should you not be able to attend this listening session, you can also provide feedback within a survey you’ll have access to which will address the same topics discussed during the listening sessions.

We met as a staff on Friday to make appropriate preparations to assure for both our students and staff’s well-being. Here are our commitments to you and your family:
Safety: The safety and well-being of your children are paramount. We are working closely with local law enforcement to make certain our school is as secure and safe as possible. You may see a small police presence at Farrington as part of that partnership.
Open Communication: We are here to listen, support, and collaborate to ensure a smooth and safe return to school. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
Support Services: Our dedicated team is available to provide support to both students and families. If you or your child needs to talk to someone, please reach out to us, and we will help make the necessary arrangements.
Community Unity: We believe in the strength of our school community, and together, we will find ways to heal and support each other. We are planning events and activities that promote unity and healing.
Routine and Normalcy: We understand the importance of maintaining routines in times of crisis. We will continue to provide a safe and structured learning environment for your children, helping them regain a sense of normalcy.
At times like these, we are reminded of While the events of the past days have been heart-wrenching, please know that you are not alone.
