Schools in Yarmouth will be closed for the day on Thursday, February 13. With this closure, the final student day for the academic year is moved to Friday, June 13.

Congratulations to YES 4th grade teacher Renee Rhoads who has been nominated as a 2025 Cumberland County Teacher of the Year! Her nomination from former student Piper McGeachey: "She loves kids and taught all of us how to knit because she thinks knitting helps focus. She is so sweet to every student no matter what!" We are very proud of you Ms. Rhoads!


Due to the forecast for heavy snow by midday, there will be no school in the Yarmouth School Department on Thursday, February 6, 2025. With this cancellation, the last day of school for the 2024-2025 school year is now scheduled for Thursday, June 12.

Good evening - Due to the predicted arrival of tomorrow’s storm, Yarmouth Schools will run a half-day schedule on Thursday, February 6. Students at Yarmouth High School and Harrison Middle School will be released at 11:15 a.m. Students at Yarmouth Elementary School and Rowe School will be released at 12:00 p.m. Lunches will be offered at school. If we must change to a full-day closure of schools, that decision will be made by 5:00 a.m.

TWO-HOUR DELAY – Monday, February 3, 2025: There will be a two-hour delay to the start of school in Yarmouth today. This means all buses will run two hours later than normal for the morning pick-up. The school day will end at the normal time.

Thank you to the Yarmouth PTO for running another successful Glow Run! This funding provides our students with meaningful enrichment opportunities and is greatly appreciated. The Silly String was flying at recess this week!


Our Community Meeting this morning, led by our 4th-grade teachers, celebrated the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King. As a follow-up, our school will create a collaborative poster in honor of Dr. King with our own "big words" to lift each other up!



It was another fantastic YES Winter Concert for our 4th and 5th graders! Band, Chorus and Orff Ensemble all gave some memorable performances!



We are thrilled to share that CMP has successfully replaced the faulty transformer at Frank Harrison Middle School, and the facility is now operating with 100% electrical power (and heat). We look forward to a "regular" day of school on Monday. Thank you for your patience!

Good morning. CMP has been unable to respond to our request for repairs to their equipment at Frank Harrison Middle School. HMS families are encouraged to read an email sent this morning from Superintendent Dolloff as they prepare for the school day today (Friday, December 13).

Good morning. We are experiencing reduced electrical power issues at HMS again this morning. CMP has been notified and will attempt to be there to address their equipment issues soon. We will plan to have a regular day at the school, though some classes may be relocated.

Ms. Pachuta and the third graders are having some PE Parachute fun this afternoon!


Power issues continue at Yarmouth's HMS, and CMP is on the scene helping us resolve things. Thank you for your patience!

Good morning.
Power has been fully restored at Frank Harrison Middle School. Thanks once again to our facilities and maintenance crew for their outstanding work!
Enjoy the day.

Good morning.
We are dealing with reduced electrical power at Frank Harrison Middle School this morning.
We do have heat and lights in many areas of the school, and we will be able to prepare lunches.
We may not be able to provide breakfast.
We are working with CMP and local electricians to resolve the issue and hope to be fully operational soon.
The school leadership team will make adjustments to the schedule if necessary, but we anticipate this issue will not interfere significantly with the student day.

Yarmouth families - please remember the second event in this year's Family School Alliance speaker series, sponsored in part by the Yarmouth Education Foundation. Thursday night (12/5) at 6:00 p.m. at Yarmouth Elementary School, we'll hear from a panel of mental health professionals as they discuss "Childhood Anxiety - A Community Conversation."

Congratulations to our Yarmouth Education Foundation winners! Ms. Shoukimas, Mr. Smith, and the Playground Committee (Communication Board), and Mr. Blatt and Ms. MacMullen (Earn Time Play System) were our YES grant winners. Thank you YEF!



Thank you to Erik Street, Director of Public Works, for spending time teaching our second-grade students today all about the work they do in our town!




With gratitude to all of the Veterans in our community for your service to America. Thinking of you on Veterans Day, and thanking you for all you did for our country. Our third graders decorated the halls with Veterans Day appreciation cards, some with messages to Veterans in their own lives.
