Quick reminder about dance expectations at TWKDMS. The Student Council's winter dance tonight is from 6:30-9:00 pm. We lock the doors at 7:00 pm, so no one else will be permitted to enter after that time. Parents/guardians will need to confirm with me if they will be picking students up early. Sometimes parents/guardians like to take pictures. We permit that in the lobby area for a little while, but before I lock the doors, I ask all adults to leave unless they are a pre-approved chaperone. The dance costs $3, and snacks are also available for purchase. Finally, a student must be on time and present on the day of the dance to attend, and must also be academically eligible. Go Cougars!
The forecast looks pretty good for now, but before we head into the February Break, I wanted to remind our families that future "storm" days will be "remote learning days" for RSU 56. The middle school students have information on what these days look like for us (if needed), and here is a link to our basic procedure: https://www.rsu56.org/o/twk-dirigo-ms/page/twkdms-remote-learning
Due to bus driver shortages today, 2/9/2026, a few of our bus runs will be combined this afternoon. The runs for busses 1, 3, 4, and 14 could be approximately 15-20 minutes later than their normal drop off times.
If you have any questions please contact the BGT department at (207)562-4300 x 2.
Thank you and Have a great day!
Due to an outside power issue at Dirigo Elementary School we are going to do early dismissal today, 2/4/26 across the entire district. Students will be released at 12:30 today.
There will be NO 21st century program at the Elementary school, and NO middle school wrestling practice today.
Dirigo High School, and Dirigo Middle School will still have after activities as scheduled, but parents will need to bring their students back to the school at those times.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Please note that this schedule may change. Coaches will notify players of any practice changes. Games changes can be found on our website: schools.snap.app/dirigo
Attention Dirigo - the middle school is seeking VOLUNTEERS to help me supervise occasional open gym sessions (1:30-2:30) as a special reward within our school-wide points system. TWKDMS has a school-wide point system that awards points to students for good grades, good attendance, good behavior, etc. Our students cash in these points for experiences (like Region 9's monthly visits, Kyle with Small Engine will visit us next week), prizes (we even have a new 3D printer donated by Hometown Senior Solutions so that kids can MAKE their own prizes!), and (maybe with your help?) open gym. Please send me an email at jlong@rsu56.org if this interests you. We're trying - want to help? Go Cougars!
Good Afternoon from RSU 56. Due to being short bus drivers this afternoon 1/21/26, students that normally ride on Bus 1, 14 or 24 may be around 15-minutes late on their drop off time due to consolidating bus runs. We apologize for the inconvenience.
