The Calais School Board is meeting this Thursday at 6:00 at the elementary school. We have big decisions facing us, and we encourage you to contact us by email or come to the meeting to share your thoughts.
With low numbers in next year’s kindergarten and first grade classes, we need to decide on the best configuration for next year, keeping in mind:
- what is best for the students in these two small grade-level groups?
- what is best for the school as a whole?
We are considering various possible solutions, including:
- combining the kindergarten and first grade to form a small, but not as small, class
- combining kindergarten, first, and second grades
- sending our Calais kindergartners to East Montpelier Elementary to join the EMES kindergarten class
Whatever choice we make, we are seeing changes happening to our school. There are many implications following any of these choices.
Please contact one of us with your thoughts. There will be time at the start of our meeting for public comments as well.
Your School Board,
Susanna Culver, Katie Reed, Drew Lamb, Dorothy Naylor, Keith MacMartin
