Members of the Maine Department of Education Office of School and Student Supports wore blue today — along with matching virtual backgrounds — in recognition of Foster Care Awareness Month. 💙 The Maine DOE has launched a new interactive tool to help school and SAU staff respond quickly and effectively during health emergencies. During #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we’re tapping into student voice to help celebrate the educators who make a lasting difference in the lives of Maine students every single day. 🍎 Applications are now open for the Leading Early Learning Fellowship—a professional learning opportunity for elementary school administrators across Maine! 🍎 At Oxford Hills School District MSAD #17, students took the lead in planning and hosting their annual Respect Day—creating meaningful opportunities for peers to explore culture, identity, and community through engaging workshops and activities. Today, the Maine Department of Education joins the @nasnschoolnurses and the Maine Association of School Nurses in celebrating National School Nurse Day (May 6) and the incredible impact of school nurses across our state! Training dates and locations are now available! Today, we at the Maine DOE are pleased to celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Day, as part of National Teacher Appreciation Week from May 4-8, 2026! From Maine Education Commissioner Pender Makin and all of us at the Maine DOE, thank you to the thousands of educators in Maine for the dedicated and selfless work that you commit to every single day. You are helping to make the world a better and brighter place, one lesson and student at a time. Nominations are now open for the 2026 Maine Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance Awards!
