A Message from Mrs. Hennessey
Summer 2026
It is a great pleasure to welcome your child and family to the 2026-2027 school year! On behalf of the teachers and staff at Memorial School, I wish to share our enthusiasm to partner with you in the coming year.
We hope you will join us for our Memorial School Ice Cream Social on Thursday, August 27th, from 5:00-6:00 pm. This is an opportunity for you to meet your child’s teacher and other members of the Memorial School staff, tour the classroom and school, and mingle with Memorial School families.
We are excited to embark on the new school year! The official first day of school is scheduled for Monday, August 31st, for first and second graders. On Monday, August 31st, we will also host an orientation for incoming kindergarteners. The kindergartener’s first official day of school will be Tuesday, September 1st.
You can access your child’s bus route information in mid-August at http://www.msad15.org/. Parent drop-off will be between 8:40 and 8:55 am in the front loop. Buses will arrive shortly after that. Memorial School’s official start time will be 9:10 am. Parent pick-up will begin at 3:20 pm in the loop around the back of the school. Bus dismissal will begin at 3:30 pm.

Report Cards & Class Placements for 2026-27
Trimester 3 report cards were emailed out on Wednesday, June 18th. We sent home supply lists with the last Tote. (Supply lists can also be found on the left-hand side of the Memorial homepage.) Memorial School plans to send out class placements for the 2026-27 school year via a mailing in early August. We appreciate your patience as we plan for next year!
