The staff also recognized students selected for improvement and/or achievement in academics, attendance, effort, and/or kindness this year with a special award sponsored by the Dixfield Discount Fuel Toy Drive. Happy New Year and Go Cougars!

We just wanted to post a public THANK YOU and Go Cougars to the amazing folks behind the DDF Toy Drive! This year, they fulfilled all of the holiday wishes for many of our students, donated loads of gift cards, added prizes to our prize drawers, restocked our personal hygiene supplies, and donated a ton of snacks to our food pantry. Katie Houghton and her many elves are a true blessing to this community - as are the many donors and volunteers behind the magic that they bring each season. To EVERYONE involved, THANK YOU and Go Cougars!

Good Morning from RSU 56. Due to the incoming storm, we will have an early release day, today 12/10/2025. Students will be released at 12:30. Thank you and have a great day!
Next week, our schools are competing against each other to get the most participation and to win the Cougar Bobble Head! Students are welcome to join in the fun with our themed days.

Students will be coming home with their Trimester 1 report cards today. Please look for them.

This week's schedule for TWK DMS Basketball. Don't forget, DMS Nordic Ski starts 12/1!

Attention Parents/Guardians and Students: School equipment is expensive, and we want to do right by our taxpayers while encouraging our students to respect the space at all times. We have had a few chairs "buckle" lately under students leaning in the chairs (despite reminders). So, to be clear, students are responsible for replacing chairs that they break due to leaning or other inappropriate uses. The chairs are not cheap. So, let's work together to remind the kiddos to keep four on the floor. Go Cougars!
