A Message from our Principal
Dear Russell School Families and Visitors,
Welcome to the Russell School website! We are honored to serve the Gray community and value the strong partnerships we share with our students and their families. Our dedicated faculty and staff bring extensive experience and a deep commitment to supporting the unique needs of every child in kindergarten through second grade.
As we settle into the 2026–2027 school year, we are excited about the learning, growth, and connections taking place throughout our school. Within a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment, our educators work each day to provide developmentally appropriate, evidence-based instruction that supports every child’s academic, social, and emotional growth.
At Russell School, we believe that strong relationships are at the heart of a successful school community. We are proud of the foundation we have built over the years and remain committed to continuous growth and improvement. By working together, students, families, staff, and community members help us create meaningful learning experiences and opportunities for every child to succeed.
Open communication between home and school plays an essential role in each student’s educational journey. Throughout the year, we use a variety of methods to keep families informed and connected. We encourage you to reach out whenever you have a question, concern, or something to celebrate. Whether by phone, email, or in person, we are always happy to hear from you.
Please visit our website regularly for school news, upcoming events, special projects, and monthly newsletters. We hope these resources help you stay informed and connected to the many exciting opportunities, learning experiences, and accomplishments taking place at Russell School.
Thank you for being an important part of our school community. I encourage you to contact me directly if you have questions, ideas, or feedback. I can be reached at dblake@sad15.org or by phone at (207) 657-4929. I look forward to continuing our work together to make this a successful and rewarding year for every Russell School student.
Sincerely,
Danny J. Blake
Principal
