Stay tuned for updates to the Ski4Life information
Good morning, parents, students, staff, and community members. Due to inclement weather, school is canceled today, January 10, 2024. Stay safe!
Our new ice machine arrived yesterday! Its exciting news since players have been anxious for fresh ice at practice and games. Thank you Kim Mann-McLaughlin for ordering this for our athletes and students, and thank you Jim Parker for installing it so quickly--it's already full of ice and can make up to 100lbs PER DAY---Small but mighty!
Two full time positions, Custodian/Bus Driver
Please read the message attached below. I hope that each of you understands that I care about the students and staff in RSU 89 and that my decision was not made without reflection and intense thought.
Long Term Sub All About Food/Kitchen Support
What may appear to be wintertime fun and frivolity are lessons in teamwork, leadership, and communication--check out the pics below from ODE yesterday--
Before break, one of our students began a drive to collect goods for the Houlton Humane Society. On that Friday, he delivered much needed pet supplies and a check for $150 to Houlton’s Humane Society. Volunteer Linda Sewell greeted us warmly and expressed genuine gratitude for the donations. John was treated to a tour of the facility and was able to visit with the shelter cats and dogs awaiting adoption. Thanks to our Katahdin Schools students and staff who contributed to this worthy cause. Thinking of adopting or volunteering your time? Visit the home page to view the pets up for adoption and more information. Thanks to John for sharing his time and kind heart with the pets while they await their forever home.

Through this transition into 2024, let's remember together that Communication is Key! Here's to parent, community, & school partnerships that lead to student success--Happy New Year!

Anticipated Grade 3 Long Term Substitute Teacher
Good afternoon RSU 89 students, staff, and community members! One of our students has asked if we will provide a space to collect supplies for pets that will be donated to local animal shelters. So, in this time of giving and meeting the needs of others, our furry friends need some support too! If you can donate any of the items on the attached flyer, we are looking to collect until December 22nd. Items can be dropped off at either the KES or KMHS offices and we thank you in advance for your support of our community pets!
