• The beginning of the year paperwork has important information regarding photo, name, and media releases.
• Information regarding emergency contacts, hospital preference for emergencies, who can pick up your child in your absence, and other important demographic data.
• Some of this data is also tied to our federal reporting, and in turn federal funding for things like Title 1 Services and intervention.
• Additionally, the free breakfast and lunch program for all students is also contingent on this data.

If you need help completing this paperwork, please contact the school immediately.

RSU 26 is in the process of developing a 5 year strategic plan. This plan will be used to allocate finite resources like staff time and dollars towards priority areas. A committee spanning all stakeholders (teachers, parents, students, etc) is leading this process, but we very much need broader input to understand the community’s priorities. This survey is based on feedback we heard at recent strategic plan forums with staff, the community, and students. We invite all stakeholders to complete this survey to ensure community priorities are reflected in the strategic plan. Click on the link below to complete the survey. Survey closes Tuesday, October 10th.

For each question please rank the words or phrases in priority order from first/top to last/bottom. We understand that it will be difficult to exactly rank whether a certain word should be, say, 3rd or 4th, so don’t worry too much about getting this perfect. We just want your broad impressions. Things that are most important to you should be ranked near the top and things that are relatively less important should be ranked near the bottom. You can rank either by dragging and dropping tiles up and down OR by clicking on the up or down areas to move tiles.

We will be bringing a draft strategic plan back for input from everybody in the spring. Thank you for your input!

RSU 26 conducts regular safety drills to help prepare students and staff for emergency situations. These drills include: fire, lockdown, and evacuation drills. Orono Middle and Orono High are required to complete 8 fire drills annually, whereas 10 are required at Asa Adams School. During fire drills, we practice leaving the building quickly, efficiently and safely to designated locations on campus. During lockdown drills, we practice remaining in the classroom in a quiet, hidden and protected way. During an evacuation drill, we practice safely leaving the school building and moving to our offsite locations. These drills function to provide students and staff with the necessary information and practice they will need to remain safe in the event of an emergency. The specific date and time of the drills are not shared with students, staff and community to help provide a more realistic experience, and to keep everyone safe during the drills.
