During this meeting, information will be disseminated over topics such as; policies, procedures, and insurance issues in regards to the laptops leaving the building.

Dear PreK and Kindergarten Parents/Guardians:
The time for changing am/pm sessions is quickly sneaking up on us. Your students will be making this official switch on Monday, January 25th. Please continue to send your child at the current scheduled session until the switch is made. We are working diligently on the new bus schedules as these may also be altered with the changing of sessions. We will send out further information about new pickup/drop off times as soon as we have them finalized. Please be advised that during the first week (Jan. 25-29) times may not be exact, as the bus drivers will be tweaking runs for the most efficient route time. If you have any questions please call the office at
455-4504.
Respectfully,
Ricky Bragg
December 2009 Updates
SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR UPDATE!
At the December 14 MSAD #45 Board meeting, the directors approved a few revisions to the 2009-2010 MSAD #45 school calendar. These changes have been indicated in RED on the school calendar.
What are the changes? On January 15 and February 5, both schools will be released at 12 noon. A teacher workshop day has also been changed to February 8; therefore, neither school will be in session.
Hopefully, this advance notice will help you make any necessary preparations for the care of your child(ren) on these days.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
The DAVID J. LYON WASHBURN DISTRICT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is preparing to meet the safety standards set forth by the State of Maine. All staff and personnel of our school will begin wearing identification badges as of January 4, 2010. Any parents, volunteers, or visitors requesting to move about in the building MUST stop at the office and receive a required visitor’s badge. Those found in the building without a badge may be asked to return to the office or leave, if necessary. This is not to punish visitors, but to provide the safest environment possible for our students and staff. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Rick Bragg at 455-4504.
