The Principal’s Post I can’t believe it is already Memorial Day weekend! This school year is flying by way too fast. Although we have only four days of school next week they are busy days. On Tuesday, there will be a band and chorus concert at 1:45 p.m. Mrs. Rogers and the musicians have been working really hard during their lessons and they have made great growth this year. Wednesday, the fifth grade heads to Damariscotta Lake State Park to celebrate their completion of the D.A.R.E. program. On Thursday, second and fourth grades are going on a field trip to the Maine State Museum in Augusta. This is one of my favorite trips because the students get a chance to experience the uniqueness of Maine’s history and culture. As we get into warmer weather. I want to remind everyone of our student dress code as outlined in our handbook: “Clothing shall be neat and clean, and appropriate for an educational setting. Revealing apparel or torn/ripped apparel (including but not limited to halter tops, tube tops, tops with spaghetti straps, and very short skirts and shorts) is not allowed. We use a two finger width rule for tank top straps and other thin strapped tops. Footwear - “We strongly discourage flip-flops and high heel shoes for safety on the stairs and the playground.” If students wear flip flops to class, we ask that they bring a change of shoes for recess and on P.E. days. Happy Memorial Day and remember there is no school on Monday!

The Talent Show is coming! On Tuesday June 4th Union Elementary will be holding their 3rd Annual Talent Show. This is an informal performance of songs, dances, even jokes done by students in grades 2 through 6. The show starts at 1:45 and the length depends on the amount of acts. Students will have selected a performance piece and performed it for Mrs. Rogers and then rehearsed it the weeks leading up to the show. The show is mostly for the students but parents are welcome to come and watch their students strut their stuff!

It is the intent of RSU 40 schools to protect our children from the harmful rays of the sun as well as the irritation of insects. Both sunscreen and insect repellent contain chemical compounds that may be unsafe for children to handle. Therefore, we need to be very careful that these products are not available to children without adult supervision. In order to provide for the safe application of these products, please note the following:
• Apply a long acting sunscreen and/or insect repellent to your child prior to coming to school.
• Consider using clothing with sunscreen properties.• If you are considering providing sunscreen or insect repellent for your child for outdoor activities, please note:
1. A parent will need to submit written permission listing the product and when to apply.
2. We can accept only fragrance-‐free lotions, wipes and creams. Please do not send sprays or aerosols.
3. To ensure that those products labeled “Keep out of the reach of children” arrive at the school in a safe manner, products need to be brought to the school by an adult.
• Sunscreen and insect repellent will be kept in the Health OfNice as well as a record of each application by an adult.
• At the close of the school year products should be picked up by an adult.
