Request for Citizen Members: We are seeking a Kittery Resident to become a member of our Facilities, Finance and Safety Committee. The committee meets once a month, typically on Monday mornings, and helps keep the district on track with issues related to our facilities, spending, and the safety plan. This is important work that helps keep the district running in tip top shape, and we are seeking community representation on this committee. If you are interested, or have any questions about what this may entail, please reach out to me, or Annie Cicero, School Committee Chair. Our contact information can be found on the Kittery School District website@kitteryschools.com

It was a delight to see visitors enjoying lunch with students at Mitchell Primary School at the "Special Person" luncheon. Our School Nutrition Kitchen Staff did an amazing job....thank you!
Advanced Art students had their portraits on display at the Ogunquit museum of art over the weekend. The portraits can now be found at Rice Library. The students worked all fall with an artist in residence to create these portraits.
Cold Weather and Winter Recess
Winter officially begins December 21st. Please make sure your child comes to school dressed appropriately for the changing temperatures during the winter months. They should have a warm coat, hat, gloves, snow pants, boots, and any other cold-weather gear needed to stay comfortable outside (waiting for the bus, recess, and walking to/from school).
It's important to us that all students are safe, warm, and ready to learn!
If your family needs assistance with providing warm, suitable clothing for your child, please contact the Principal's Office at your child's school.
Great things are happening at Traip Academy's Expanded Learning Opportunities Program....Our boat building students are continuing to work on the Lumberyard Skiff and Lighthouse Tender.
CONGRATULATIONS to Anne Masury our Traip Academy Greenhouse Coordinator! The 2025 Maine's Distinguished Service Award winner! We are incredibly proud of you.
