12/12/24 UPDATE: RSU 34 Schools remain on a 2-hour delay. There are two known areas impacting bus routes. In Old Town, Kirkland Road (closer to 43) is impassable. The bus company will go as far as they can up Kirkland, and down from 43 for pickup. In Bradley- there is a low wire on Cram. Versant is there now. Cars have been passing, but a bus cannot. Bradley bus will only go as far as Deer Run Lane. Families on Baker Lane and 10 Road can keep students home with an excused absence, or if they feel comfortable driving on Cram, they can transport students to school. Alton Elementary is running on generator, with all systems go. Thank you for your patience this morning while we figured this out. We hope you and your families safely made it through this December wind/rain.
RSU 34 will have a 2-hour delay this morning to allow for icy roads to be treated, and temperatures to rise. All scheduled start times will be shifted by exactly 2 hours. (12/11/24) Be safe, everyone.
RSU 34 schools will be closed today due to current and predicted freezing rain. Be safe, everyone. (12/10/24)
LMS returns to in-person learning 12/2/24. Happy Thanksgiving!
Leonard Middle School will have remote learning both Monday and Tuesday (11/25, 11/26) while we repair the school’s drain lines. Families should check their email for the details of breakfast/lunch and remote learning. This only applies to LMS–all other RSU 34 schools are in operation as scheduled.
Leonard Middle School students are being sent home today at 9:30am. (Friday, 11/22). The school has a blocked drain line and we had to shut off all water to the building in order begin working on a solution. Buses will leave LMS to bring students home at 9:30am. Parents should call the school with questions 827-3900. Walkers will be released once buses have departed. We will provide all students with a breakfast and lunch option. Teachers will be providing students with a remote learning option. Thank you for your patience and cooperation while we manage this unexpected situation. (THIS ONLY IMPACTS LEONARD MIDDLE SCHOOL--ALL OTHER SCHOOLS WILL REMAIN IN SESSION)
The RSU 34 School Board will hold their monthly meeting on Wednesday, November 20, 2024 in the LMS Cafeteria beginning at 7:00p.m.
