It doesn’t get recognized enough. The time and effort that it takes to make sure our student athletes are healthy and happy. This man tracks our athletes health, sets up required appointments, schedules recovery plans and sometimes just simply sits and listens to our athletes needs, thank you Scott Audet for your time and dedication!

New Opportunities for Students, New School Start and End Times, New Bus Routes!
The back-to-school issue of Community Connections is off to the printers, and will arrive in mailboxes in about a week! Much thanks to staff and community members who contributed pictures and articles.
As we shared in the May issue, this school year will see a big shift in schedule and bus routes to yield new opportunities for students at no extra cost to taxpayers. In total this will yield up to 1,700 extra hours of opportunity to each child over the course of their K-12 journey, and also brings school start/end times to the time recommended by expert groups such as the American Association of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association.
The digital issue of Community Connections can be reached here: https://5il.co/9hnk
School start and end times are on page 3, and September bus routes are on pages 20-23. Bus routes will be adjusted on October 1st as new enrollments are finalized and as Cyr Bus and RSU #34 identify any unanticipated changes in traffic patterns.
Please carefully check your school start and end times, and September bus routes! Thank you in advance for your patience and support as many in the community adjust to the new times and routes.
Please don’t hesitate to contact school and district staff with any questions as we roll out the changes and iron out the wrinkles. Contact info can be found at www.rsu34.org
