Due to the impending snowstorm, RSU 56 will be having an early release day today, Thursday, February 6, 2025. Student dismissal will begin at 11:30. No after school activities. Be safe everyone!
Due to the predicted timing of the impending storm for Thursday, February 6, 2025, RSU 56 is tentatively planning an early release day. School would begin at the regular time; however, student dismissal would begin at 11:30 Thursday morning. The storm is slated to start between noon and 1:00 in our towns. We believe this would allow for all students and staff to be home safely before the snow accumulates. There would be no after school activities. Please note that, if the storm track changes, new information will come out in the morning.

Here is our February Lunch Menu
TWKDMS students will take the Winter NWEAs on Thursday 01/30/25 and Tuesday 02/04/25. We have the students keep iPads at school the night before to ensure everyone is charged up and ready for testing days. Enjoy the weekend - Go Cougars!
E Pluribus Unum is a Latin phrase meaning “out of many, one.” Patriots used this thirteen-letter phrase in 1776 to signify the unity of the colonies in their quest for independence. Still found on the Great Seal of the United States and coinage, the phrase continues to be a powerful expression of our history, diversity, and unity. Next Friday, “Out of many, one,” will be the theme of our annual Diversity Day at TWKDMS. We will explore the history of different groups that have come together to make the population of Maine and emphasize that we can be "one." Students will hear from a speaker from the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine and enjoy an educational dance workshop sponsored by Oxford Federal Credit Union. Students are coming home today with a letter for parents and guardians with more information about our plans. Have a great weekend and Go Cougars!
An Evening with the Autism Society of Maine for Parent's, Community members, and Professionals in RSU56 and RSU 10! Wednesday, January 22nd from 4:30-6PM at T.W.K Dirigo Middle School.
We are back to school on Thursday, January 2nd! Here is our January lunch menu.
Today we wrapped up 2024 with our Winter Fun Day. Students signed up for four activities of their choice from a litany of options prepared by the staff. Then we capped off the day with an assembly. We recognized our latest Cougar Paw winners, as well as the first trimester's Academic Achievement and Academic Excellence Award Winners. The staff recognized also students who have shown improvement and/or achievement in academics, attendance, effort, and/or kindness this year. Thanks to Dixfield Discount Fuel for making it so we could fulfill many holiday wishes! Finally, we had an amazing 8th-grade shoot-out contest and then headed off for a much-needed break. Go Cougars!
Good morning from RSU56. All afterschool activities and events are canceled for today, December 11, 2024. Stay safe and have a great day!
