River View Community School -

Not the First. The 27th. There are currently 20 State funded School Based Health Centers and 6 others that are open that do not get State grant funding. The community proposed School Based Health Center would be the 27th opened in the State of Maine. At our Community Engagement Forum, we will hear from one of the 26 about how they operate and how it has impacted their students and their families. Join us for the conversation.

October 29, 2024 at 6pm at Johnson Hall Opera House, located in downtown Gardiner Community Engagement Night* will be held to share with students, parents, and members of our communities about the community proposed School Based Health Center, which will “bring” healthcare services to students.

We will cover: • What is a school-based health center? • Why do we need a school-based health center at GAHS? • What will the school-based health center provide to students and families? • And more! Save the date & join our conversation. ***Not an MSAD11 sponsored event

Pat Hopkins, MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools: There is a water main break in South Gardiner that is making it necessary for us to release students at the River View Community School ONLY. In order for our transportation department to get students home before their afternoon runs, we must release students at 1 pm. I apologize for the short notice. Parents who are able to pick up their children are asked to do so. The rest of the students will be sent home on buses. Students who go to the Boys and Girls Club after school will be transported there. If you have transportation issues, please call the RV school at 582-3402 to make other arrangements.
