From the Principal
I would like to start by thanking students, staff and families for a great start to the school year. Overall it has gone very smoothly given the circumstances. I appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we implement new procedures and protocols for our day.
As a reminder, I would ask that parents please refrain from being on screen during Zoom classes. Only the student participating in the class should be on screen, speaking to the teacher or asking questions. If parents have a question or need to speak with a teacher the usual channels should be used; email, phone call, or conference. Zoom should be considered the teachers classroom, and is the time teachers provide instruction and feedback. Disruptions only serve to take away from the student and teacher’s time together. Thank you in advance for helping us make the Zoom classroom as effective as possible.
From our Guidance Counselor, Abby Beaumont:
MSAD 15, in partnership with the Good Shepherd Food Bank, will be relaunching our Food Backpack Program in the upcoming weeks. The Backpack Program discreetly provides students in need with bags of healthy, easy-to-prepare food. These bags are provided weekly; with an additional bag prior to school vacations when school meals are unavailable. Please click on this link to complete the survey: Dunn School Backpack Sign Up. If you have any questions about the food backpack program, please reach out to the program coordinator, Donna Skilling (dskilling@sad15.org) or Abby Beaumont, Dunn School Counselor (abeaumont@sad15.org).
