Dear Augusta School Families,
Out of an abundance of caution, the Cony complex and CATC went into lockdown today in reference to a concern that the Augusta Police and Cony administration were reviewing. We are all clear to resume dismissal. All 7-12 student activities have been canceled this afternoon.
Thank you,
Augusta School Department

October 29, 2023
Dear Farrington Families,
We all know that Maine is a small state with many connections, and this was made all the more evident by the recent events in Lewiston. Each of us will process in our own ways, but please know the Farrington School Community is here for you and your children as we resume classes on Monday.
We met as a staff on Friday to make appropriate preparations to assure for both our students and staff’s well-being. Here are our commitments to you and your family:
Safety: The safety and well-being of your children are paramount. We are working closely with local law enforcement to make certain our school is as secure and safe as possible. You may see a small police presence at Farrington as part of that partnership.
Open Communication: We are here to listen, support, and collaborate to ensure a smooth and safe return to school. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
Support Services: Our dedicated team is available to provide support to both students and families. If you or your child needs to talk to someone, please reach out to us, and we will help make the necessary arrangements.
Community Unity: We believe in the strength of our school community, and together, we will find ways to heal and support each other. We are planning events and activities that promote unity and healing.
Routine and Normalcy: We understand the importance of maintaining routines in times of crisis. We will continue to provide a safe and structured learning environment for your children, helping them regain a sense of normalcy.
At times like these, we are reminded of While the events of the past days have been heart-wrenching, please know that you are not alone. We are here to support you, and together, we will work through this difficult time as a united school community. Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We are truly honored to serve your family.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We are here for you.
Wishing your family peace and healing,
Teresa Beaudoin and the entire Farrington School Staff
October is Fire Safety month. THANK YOU to Firefighter Lars Neilsen and Firefighter Richard Beaudoin for coming to Farrington and speaking to our youngest classes. Some students even got to take a turn sitting in the fire truck! We are so thankful for our Augusta Fire Department!
Halloween plans for Farrington.
With an abundance of caution, and in support of the families connected to the tragedy last evening in Lewiston, the Augusta Schools will be closed today.
