WELCOME CLASS OF 2021
August 1, 2017
Welcome, Messalonskee High School Class of 2021!
As we near the start of your freshman year, you may have a few questions regarding the start of school. As the administrator who works with freshmen, I have attempted to anticipate and answer some of those questions below. If you have a specific question that is not addressed below, please feel free to email me (Mr. Sam Dunbar) at [email protected]. I look forward to meeting you soon.
- When is the first day of school for freshmen?August 30th
- What time do I have to be at school each day?The warning bell for first period will ring at 7:55am, so you should be here by then.
- What should I bring for supplies on the first day?We would suggest brining a notebook and something to write with on the first day. Each of your teachers will let you know what is needed for their individual classes.
- How does lunch work at the high school?We have divided the teaching staff into two lunches. Depending on if/when you’re “tagged” by a teacher that will determine when you will eat lunch (this will be explained on the first day).
- When does preseason for fall sports begin?August 14th – All questions pertaining to athletics can be answered by calling the Athletic Office directly at 465-4990.
- What if there is a problem with my schedule?You should call the Guidance Office (465-4989) to schedule an appointment with your counselor (counselors and alphabetical breakdown below). All counselors will be in the office starting the week of August 21st.
Last Name A-F Ms. Kara Sprague
Last Name G-O Mr. Keith Derosby
Last Name P-Z Ms. Wendy Spaulding
- What if, once we start classes, I notice that one of my classes is too easy or too hard?You will be introduced to your school counselors on the first day of school (listed above) and that is with whom you should speak.
- If I become ill at school, whom should I see? Our school nurse, Ms. Murphy. Her office is located beside the Main Office.
We look forward to seeing you on August 29th at the Welcome BBQ here at the high school from 5-6:30pm. Please RSVP to the high school at 465-7381 with your name and the number of people attending.
