also include parents of Kindergarten students not presently enrolled in the
Caribou School Department. The meeting will be held at Hilltop Elementary
School in the cafeteria April 12th at 5:30 PM for parents only
(children will not be screened at this time). There will be a brief
presentation by school staff regarding your child’s education. At this time you
will also be given a registration packet and an appointment time to register
your child.
Limestone Pre-K and Kindergarten registrations will be held April 12th
- 15th from 9:00 to 2:00 at the Limestone School Department.

Kindergarten:

The 21st Century Learning Community Grant,
will support an after-school credit recovery
program for High School students who are failing or in danger of failing core
subject areas. As part of this after-school program students will be provided
tutors to aide in homework and project completion to keep up with their current
assignments. But they will also be provided with on line support using PLATO
modules to recover units of study they have failed or to review and practice
skills they may struggle with, in order to recover failing grades. Students will
need to consistently attend this program for the remainder of the year in order
to fulfill their credit obligations. The program will be provided four days a
week, Monday through Thursday from 2:45 to 4:45.
The Perloff Family Foundation, in
conjunction with the Maine Community Foundation,
has awarded a grant to Caribou High School for the project titled "The
Cold War and Loring Air Force Base". Written and overseen my members of the
English and Social Studies departments at Caribou High School, this funding will
allow grade 11 students to better understand and appreciate the pivotal role
Loring AFB played during these tense years. The grant will allow for a guest
speaker panel (featuring local citizens), a tour of the former base, and the
creation of a DVD to capture this local history. The Cold War, taught in grade
11 Social Studies curriculum, will be reinforced in English classrooms through
research, documents, and discussions. For more information or those with
questions may contact
amargeson@rsu39.org.
Caribou Rotary Club is looking for host
families for the 2010-2011 Academic Year. The Rotary Youth Exchange
student would be in your home for 3-5 months, while attending Caribou High
School. Caribou Rotary has actively participated in sending and receiving
exchange students and previous host families consider the experience
favorably. Please visit Caribou Rotary Clubs' website at
www.caribourotary.org and
access the link "Rotary International Exchange Host Family Opportunity"
for more information.
