Monday Essentials: Registration Day is Today for Students

Back to school prep. Registration day for all schools in the SAU #39 district will take place today, Monday, Aug. 26 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., in their respective buildings. All students (with a parent) need to come to the high school for approximately 1/2 hour to register for the new school year. Parents will be asked to update important enrollment and medical/emergency information so that students may report on the first day of school. Parents/students will be able to purchase the following with one check: parking permit (juniors and seniors), locker assignment/lock (freshmen and sophomores), activity sticker for prepaid entry into athletic events, and PTSA membership. Incoming seniors may also pay their student dues.
