Dear RSU 5 Families,

Due to the number of snow days we have used this winter, we are making an adjustment to our calendar to help prevent the school year from extending further into late June.

Friday, March 13 will now be a half day of school for students (typical early release day dismissal). Staff will participate in professional learning during the afternoon.

This change allows us to regain flexibility in the calendar and reduces the likelihood of adding additional days to the end of the school year.

Thank you for your flexibility as we navigate a very “Maine” winter. Please contact your school office with any questions.

 

At the January 28, 2026 Board meeting, the Superintendent's 2026-2027 Proposed Budget will be presented by Superintendent Gray.  Budget documents will be posted on the RSU5 website as they are available at the following link: https://rsu5org.finalsite.com/budget/budget-2026-2027

All citizens are encouraged to participate in this process.Here is the link to the budget timeline:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/15UIAtcweRLuy3ixA1cH8NW6FyKBRqI0AmizYwh8Vg4Y/edit?usp=sharing
