Good afternoon. Moments ago there was a hold in place initiated at Yarmouth High School, as officers from the Yarmouth Police Department were searching for an unknown suspect in the woods near the school. The hold in place has been lifted as the situation has been resolved peacefully, and it has been determined that no students or community members were in danger at any point.
Enjoy the vacation week!
Blair Currier, our Director of Nutrition, has been working with Susan Olcott of the Maine Coast Fishermen's Association to plan a taste test for our YES students!

If students give it a high score, then it will be a new item on the May lunch menu!
Central Maine Power has informed us that a sliced cable at their worksite is the cause of a disruption to internet and phone service at Rowe School in Yarmouth. Repairs are being made, and we are hopeful service will be restored by tomorrow. We have installed mobile hot spots in the office at Rowe School, making email with the office the best option for communicating with the school. You can email Miriam Epstein (miriam_epstein@yarmouthschools.org) if needed. Thank you for your patience!
