Dear Families,
Based on the number of positive COVID cases we have had over the past two weeks and the number of students who are close contacts and need to quarantine we have decided to change tomorrow’s early release to a remote school day for St. George School.
Teachers will be sending work home in backpacks today. If you have any questions please reach out to your child’s teacher.
If you would like meals delivered to your student tomorrow please sign up at https://foodorder.stgeorgemsu.org. You must sign up by 6am tomorrow morning to receive a meal delivery.
Thank you,
St. George MSU

Student-led conferences will be taking place on Thursday and Friday this week following early dismissal. We are continuing to follow COVID safety protocols, so mask-wearing remains mandatory. We also ask that people make their best attempt to arrive at the time of their scheduled conference and then exit the building in a timely fashion. This will ensure minimal traffic in the hallways and reduced need for potential CDC-mandated contact tracing. In addition, please keep the conference within the designated time-frame - 20 MINUTES - which gives staff sufficient time to clean between families. We look forward to seeing you!
In STEAM class, 7th graders learned about physics while testing how the size of rocket fins affected the altitude the rocket went. They designed their fins on Tinkercad and printed them on the 3D printer. Then we got to launch them on the soccer field. Ask a 7th grader what we found out!
Hi Saint George Community!
If anyone has old leather items you’d like to get rid of, the Makerspace would gladly take them. We’d like to use the laser cutter to create new things out of the old.
Student-Led Conferences on December 9th & 10th!
Sign up online at the website below or call the office to schedule. Online conference is available if needed- add "ZOOM" to special request.

Reminder: No school tomorrow, we will see students on Friday!
Thank you to all of the Veterans in our community.
Last year, the Maine DOE adopted the NWEA Map (measure of academic progress) test as its federally mandated state assessment, replacing the cumbersome MEA. For students, the NWEA test has many advantages over the MEA, most notably being that it is untimed and it adjusts its level of challenge to more precisely predict a student's actual achievement level. This Fall, in the midst of the pandemic, our school achieved more growth in a single year than ever on this nationally-normed test. Though test scores are but one small measure of perseverance and knowledge attained, we should all take time to applaud this accomplishment. For more information on our school's test results or our assessments in general, please contact Adam Bullard at 372-6312 or a.bullard@stgeorgemsu.org
