A Message from Mrs. Hennessey
It is a great pleasure to welcome students and families to the 2024-2025 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.
Class placement letters and other beginning-of-school information will be mailed to Memorial families at the beginning of August.
We hope you will plan to join us for our Memorial School Ice Cream Social on Monday, August 26th 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 Wednesday, August 28th. (Please note that there is no school on Friday, August 30th, or Monday, September 2nd.) You can access your child’s bus route information in mid-August, at http://www.msad15.org/. Supply lists are available on the menu on the left-hand side of this site. Also, more information about specific student arrival and dismissal times will be provided in the coming weeks.
The administration, teachers, and staff of Memorial School look forward to learning with your child in the coming school year. We understand that a strong home/school relationship is pivotal to student success. Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or my office at any time. You can contact me directly at ahennessey@sad15.org or (207) 926-4322.
Information for Families of Incoming Kindergarteners:
Kindergarten Orientation will be held on Wednesday, August 28th from approximately 10:00 – 11:00 am. This orientation will provide an opportunity for parents and incoming kindergarteners to meet the teacher and learn about the classroom, school, and kindergarten routines.
We invite you to ride the bus with your kindergartener on the morning of August 28th!! Please plan to ride from your child’s regular pick-up location. Your child’s driver will reach out to you in late August to arrange a pick-up time for Kindergarten Orientation (approximately 1 hour later than regular pick-up). In mid-August, you can access your child’s bus route information for rides for a typical school day at http://www.msad15.org/.
When you arrive on the bus with your child for orientation, we will invite you to visit your child’s classroom briefly. Then, we will hold an informational meeting for parents while your child interacts with his/her classmates and teacher. At the parent meeting, we will share important information about Memorial School and introduce you to staff members. After the meeting, we will reunite you with your child and create an opportunity for children and their parents to partake in bus safety training before heading home.
The official first full day of school for kindergarteners is Thursday, August 29th. (Please note that there is no school on Friday, August 30th, or Monday, September 2nd.) We are excited to embark on the 2024-2025 school year!
We hope to see Memorial Families on Monday, August 26th at the Ice Cream Social!
Sincerely,
Amanda G. Hennessey, Principal of Memorial School
