YARMOUTH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

YHS, HMS, and Rowe construction projects drawing to a close; new carbon-neutral flooring at YHS will remove 25 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the earth's atmosphere! https://www.yarmouthschools.org/facilities-committee

Yarmouth's GRAY LINE bus route will be running late for afternoon drop-offs on Tuesday, January 5 as we continue to manage a shortage of drivers. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for bearing with us.

Due to a shortage of available drivers for Monday, January 4, we must adjust morning pick-up times for students on Yarmouth's Purple, Blue, and Teal lines. We expect each run to operate approximately 10 minutes behind schedule. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Construction at Harrison Middle School is virtually complete, with projects at Yarmouth High School and Rowe School not far behind! Click here for pictures and updates on all four schools: https://www.yarmouthschools.org/facilities-committee

​Schools are closed in Yarmouth today, Thursday, December 17. As this is the first "snow day" of the year, this will be a traditional "no school" day. With this closure, the final student day of the academic year is moved to Monday, June 14. Enjoy the snow!

Yarmouth students riding the TEAL bus line will be transported on different buses this afternoon. This may impact arrival times at their destination. Please expect students to arrive 5-7 minutes either side of normal arrival times. Thank you for your continued patience.

Please conduct your daily health screening before attending school. You must quarantine until receiving a negative test result if you went to states other than NH or VT over the holiday weekend. Read more here: (https://www.yarmouthschools.org/article/350716).

HMS students will be returning to the school via buses. The building has been cleared for occupancy. The evacuation was caused by a false alarm due to dust in the isolated construction area.

Harrison Middle School has been evacuated due to a smoke alarm near the construction area. Students are being relocated to Yarmouth Elementary School for the time being. We will keep you informed as this situation progresses.

This is Maine School Bus Driver Appreciation Week! We are so grateful to our drivers, who are putting in extra effort each day to keep our students safe on their trips to and from school. If you get the chance, please take a moment to show your appreciation for Maine's best!

Thanks to our facilities crew and public safety workers, all systems are “go” at HMS today after this weekend’s accident. All Yarmouth Schools are open.

We're off to a great start! Please continue conducting health screenings each day before sending children to the Yarmouth Schools. The Health Screening tool is found at https://www.maine.gov/doe/sites/maine.gov.doe/files/inline-files/Pre-Screening%20Tool_8.pdf

HMS is one of four Maine schools being recognized as Unified Champion schools by Maine Special Olympics! Behind the efforts of many students and staff - and most notably Mikaela Gillis and Denise Condon - HMS is a leader in inclusionary practices. Way to go, HMS; be the change!
