What's Happening In Our District...
(From Superintendent JoAnne Dowd)
BE CURIOUS!
ALERT us to your SAFETY-RELATED concerns through our ANONYMOUS LINK
As the days grow shorter, safety becomes a priority. Make certain your child’s clothing is visible to drivers, especially if they walk or bike to school. Reflective gear and bright colors can enhance visibility and reduce the risk of accidents. The fall crispy air has finally settled in. It's time to bundle up to prepare for being outside for walks to the bus stop or to school. If your family needs assistance with providing warm, suitable clothing for your child, please contact the Principal's Office at your child's school.
JoAnne Dowd, Interim Superintendent

Our new drop off plan at Mitchell seems to be going smoothly, along with all the bus runs in general.
The Student Council did a terrific job hosting candidates night on Monday evening.
Our Shapleigh students are at Nooney Farm this week, participating in a terrific community collaboration with our partners at the Kittery Land Trust.
Megan Abbott our Mental Health Outreach Counselor has started “caregiver walks” to allow caregivers to connect with and support each other
The librarian at Traip took students to Rice Library to help them get library cards if they did not have one
On Friday, October 3rd, Traip Academy took part in the national You CAN Sit With Us #WeBelong campaign, organized by our Sources of Strength Peer Leaders. This day is about building and celebrating belonging and connection-and we'd love for you to join us!
