All COVID-19 test pools in RSU 64 are negative this week! Have a great weekend!

On Wednesday the CCES student council members collected LOTS of nonperishable items for our local food pantry. Thank you for all who donated! Great job CCES!!!

RSU 64 will be closed on Thursday, November 11 in honor of Veterans’ Day.

Be on the lookout... Report Cards will be coming home today!

Have a little fun while helping out the local community. You can wear a hat next Wednesday, November 10th, if you bring in a canned good to donate to the local food pantry.

Happy Friday! Today is PJ day! Wear your cozy PJs!

Good Morning! We have been notified of our pool testing results for testing on Tuesday, October 26. We have one positive pool at CCES, three positive pools at CMS and two positive pools at CHS. All secondary testing is now complete and positive individuals have been identified. All pool participants and close contacts of positive cases have been notified. If you have questions please contact your school principal or one of our school nurses.

Today is Camouflage Day. Are you sporting your camo? Tomorrow will be Pajama Day (Who doesn’t like to be cozy on a Friday?!)

Today is Career Day. Remember to wear something to represent what you want to be when you grow up. Tomorrow will be Camouflage Day (wear as much camo clothing as you can! Gray camo? Pink camo?)

Today is Halloween Theme Day. Remember to wear something to represent the holiday (Halloween socks, headbands, shirts, black/orange clothing) but please no costumes! Tomorrow will be Career Day. What do you want to be when you grow up? Dress like that profession!

Good Morning! All of the follow up testing of our positive and indeterminate pools is now completed. We have not identified any additional positive cases in the follow up testing done yesterday or today. Thank you for your patience and I apologize again for the communication error yesterday regarding the indeterminate pool at CMS.

I apologize. I misspoke earlier. The indeterminate pool at CMS has not completed secondary testing. It is being done now. I will let the school community know if we are able to identify a positive in that pool. Again, I apologize for the error in my earlier message.

All pool testing results are confirmed from the lab. In summary, this week we had one positive pool at CCES, one positive pool at CMS and one that they were not able to determine as positive or negative. When this happens, we test all individuals in that pool. All individuals in the indeterminate pool at CMS tested negative. We also had four positive pools as CHS this week. All secondary testing and contact tracing has been completed and all parents have been notified.

RSU 64 is in desperate need of substitutes for all areas but especially Food Service and Custodians. If you are available at short notice and would like to be considered, please call 207-285-3334 for an application and next steps. Thank you for helping to keep our schools open for our students during these challenging times!

Plan to join us this Saturday at CCES in the parking lot for a Trunk-or-Treat event. The CHS Senior class will be hosting the Trunk-or-Treat event on October 16th from 3:30-5:00 pm. Admission to the event with be $5. Come and enjoy a treat!

Good Morning! All pools at CMS are negative. With the exception of the two pool cases I communicated about last night via email, all other pools at CCES are negative. We are working on follow up testing at CHS on two pools that we have not had confirmed negative results on. We will notify you once those two pools are completed. Thank you for your continued patience!

The parent culture survey is available until 11/9/2021! Please take the time to complete the survey so we can better understand areas of school life that are going well here at CCES and areas where we may need to improve. Every voice counts and we hope that your voices can help guide us in our work to make CCES a great place to learn and grow.
