At Kennebunk High School (Regional School Unit 21), the Alternative Education Program is showing what happens when we redesign the path—not the standards. Through hands-on learning and strong community partnerships, students are building skills, confidence, and real-world connections—while still meeting the same rigorous graduation requirements. The Maine DOE launched a new professional learning series, “Building Strong Foundations: Early Numeracy,” that helps educators rethink how young learners experience math by centering play, outdoor learning, and real-world discovery. Prioritizing safety—on the road and in our schools! School safety and transportation professionals from across Maine recently came together in Rockport for the 2026 Maine School Safety and Transportation Conference—collaborating, learning, and strengthening practices that help keep students safe every day. A reminder for Maine educators! Registration is open for the Maine DOE’s 2026 For ME Instructional Programs Summer Trainings—offering free, in-person professional learning for pre-K through grade 2 teams. We are joining Maine DOE Teacher Leader Fellow, Joshua Chard, 2024 Maine Teacher of the Year, and a teacher in Portland, ME Public Schools, in celebrating Arts in Our Schools Month—a time to recognize the powerful role the arts play in helping students learn, connect, and express themselves. From student artwork lining hallways to concerts, performances, and creative projects happening in classrooms statewide, the arts are bringing learning to life every single day. The Piscataquis Valley Adult Education Cooperative is expanding workforce training opportunities—helping students gain in-demand skills, launch new careers, and build brighter futures close to home. Congratulations to students from Veazie Community School and teams across Maine for an incredible showing at the Maine FIRST LEGO League Challenge State Championship! Do you know an outstanding school nurse making a difference in your community? Registration is now open for the Maine DOE McKinney-Vento Spring 2026 Regional Meetings!
