We still have spots available at the Apprenticeshop summer academy in Rockland. Check out the academy description below...
Have you ever imagined going on daily adventures in a traditional sailboat, learning about sailing and seamanship and even how to build boats? It's happening this Summer at the Apprenticeshop, where you’ll be the captain of a wooden boat and the master of the shop.
Students are invited to participate in different activities that incorporate traditional boatbuilding and seamanship at the Apprenticeshop’s waterfront. A rotating land based / boat based group will be formed having half of the students working in making boat parts for a underway project of a sailing sardine carrier, involved in using wood tools to create objects, and the other half working on seamanship by going out sailing on Rockland’s harbor on one of the A’shops traditional vessels.
During the course of the week, students will have specific tasks and will be taking rotating assignments in the shop or in the boat and will be engaged through games being introduced to the maritime vocabulary.
At its core, the Apprenticeshop is about inspiring personal growth through craftsmanship, community, and traditions of the sea.
Dates: Aug 02- Aug 19th (3 weeks; Monday through Thursday)
Time: 12-3 (3 hours)
Program: Youth traditional Sailing, Rowing, Seamanship and Boatbuilding
Grades: Students going into grades 5-8th

These are our updated COVID safety measures that will remain in effect while students attend summer activities at school (ESY, Math Camp, Hurricane Island, Critter Camp)
Health Screening:
Students: Parents screen students each morning for symptoms using the same protocols/symptom checker we used during the school year
Staff: Staff screen themselves for symptoms each morning but do NOT need to fill out and submit an online form
Face Coverings
When indoors, students and staff must wear face coverings (regardless of vaccination status)
When outdoors, face coverings are not required for students and staff
Students who want to wear face coverings outdoors have that option to do so.
Extended Mask Breaks on Hot Days
Staff have the option to provide students with extended indoor masks breaks on warm days as long as windows are open and students are 6 ft apart.
Social Distancing
When indoors and wearing masks, students are not required to socially distance.
If students are not wearing masks indoors, then they must maintain 6 feet of distance from one another.
When outdoors, social distancing is not required regardless of whether or not students are wearing face coverings.
If a student or staff member participating in a summer program tests positive for COVID, we are required to follow the Maine CDC's Standard Operating Procedure for Positive Cases in Schools.

Yesterday was the last day of the summer academy lottery time period. Therefore, anyone that reached out to reserve a spot for their child has a guaranteed placement. There are still seats available in all the academies, so please let us know if your child is interested. To reserve a spot or for more information email Adam Bullard at a.bullard@stgeorgemsu.org or call 372-6312.
Because of the damp, rainy weather and forecasts for evening thunderstorms, the 8th grade Ceremony has been postponed until tomorrow evening 6/16 at 6 PM at the Town office.
Summer Academy Announcement: Critter Camp's dates have changed. The new date for Critter Camp is August 16th-19th.

Attention St. George School Families:
St. George School is pleased to announce the creation of Summer Academies for students going into 1st through 8th grades.
In an effort to serve and engage more students than what is possible through math camp alone, St. George School has partnered with local non-profits to develop a diverse set of experiential learning opportunities.
While math camp selection has traditionally been based on student need and teacher recommendation, the Summer Academies will be open to ALL students. Similar to Math camp, there is no cost to families for these incredible opportunities! (More detailed descriptions of the Academies will be coming home with students shortly or can be seen in the attached image.)
Unfortunately, there are limited spots available for each Academy so please contact Adam Bullard by email (a.bullard@stgeorgemsu.org) or phone (327.6312) to reserve your child’s spot by June 15th. You may reserve a spot for more than one Academy (noting your child’s 1st and 2nd preferred choice), but participation will be limited to only one program UNLESS there are unfilled spots after the deadline. If more students are interested than there are spots available, we will use a lottery system to determine placement.
Best,
Adam Bullard, Instructional Administrator
