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

Kindergarten and first grade STEAM classes have been outside so far this year. This week we are investigating roly polies and making “homes” for them.
Open House, originally scheduled for October 7th, has been postponed until further notice. Please know that we are eager to bring this and other important community building events back to our school as they existed prior to the pandemic. In the meantime, we will be working to adjust plans or seek alternative ways of staying connected to families and the community as a whole. Your continued patience and efforts to keep our school open for students is greatly appreciated!
