Dear RSU 21 Families,

This week we had a hold-in-place for just over an hour after our district and many across the state received an emailed threat. We took immediate action as we consulted with public safety officials to assure everyone's safety.

Please be assured that even though law enforcement believed the threat not to be credible, we always take appropriate steps to make sure that everyone is safe. Our thanks go out to our local law enforcement agencies who collaborated with our district to make sure we were safe. For any students or staff who have been feeling uneasy in light of this incident--or for any reason--our capable, dedicated school counselors are always available for our school community.

Winter break is almost here...a short 4-day school week next week before we break until the New Year! This is a timely reminder to check our snow day plan for the winter months.

Be sure to check out this week's video spotlighting Sea Road School...have a great weekend!

Much Love,

Terri I. Cooper, Ed.D.

RSU 21 Superintendent
