With this closure, the final student day for the 2025-2026 school year is now moved to Thursday, June 18. Any further closures will result in a remote learning day, so as to avoid going to school during the last full week in June.
February is recognized by the National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT) as "Love the Bus Month," and this week we are celebrating Bus Driver Appreciation Week.
The Yarmouth Schools are fortunate to have a full complement of caring, expert bus drivers, who are supported by an outstanding leadership team and a dedicated maintenance staff provided by the Town of Yarmouth. Our drivers focus on safety while developing caring relationships with students and parents throughout the district, and our bus fleet routinely receives the highest ratings in Maine from State Police inspectors.
Arriving at work to inspect their buses well before the sun comes up and temperatures creep above zero degrees, oftentimes driving well into the evening and on weekends, Yarmouth's transportation team is unquestionably dedicated to getting students where they need to go - and back home again - safely and comfortably.
Please take the opportunity to say a special "thank you" to your drivers this week. Your appreciation is their greatest motivation!
Good morning -
The water main has been repaired on Main Street, and water is back on at Rowe School. We will have a regular day of school at all Yarmouth Schools today. Enjoy the day and have a great weekend!
Many of you may be aware that a water main has burst on Main Street in Yarmouth. This has caused Rowe School to be without water at this time. While Yarmouth Public Works is working to repair the main, we should prepare for the possibility that Rowe School will remain closed tomorrow.
If the repair is made, we will let you know as soon as possible. If the repair is not made, we will send out a notice early on Friday morning closing Rowe School for the day.
All other Yarmouth schools will remain open. This notice is simply to allow Rowe parents time to plan for the potential of a school closure tomorrow.
In the event of a closure, Rowe staff will report to Yarmouth High School for a professional development day. Stay tuned.
Please log into the meeting a few minutes before 6:00 at the following link:

Meeting ID: 844 4237 3155
Passcode: epnW65
Monday evening's School Committee workshop is still scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. at the Log Cabin. We will make a decision regarding that meeting by Monday at noon, and notice will be sent if that meeting is going to be moved to a virtual setting.
With this closure, the final student day for the 2025-2026 school year is moved to Tuesday, June 16.
Stay safe!
All after-school activities and athletics are cancelled for the day, and school offices will be closing at noon.
With this cancellation, the last day of school for the 2025-2026 school year is now scheduled for Monday, June 15.
Have a safe day, and we’ll see everyone back in school on Wednesday. December 3.
Due to the forecast for heavy afternoon snow, we will be closing Yarmouth Schools early on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.
If the storm arrives earlier than currently projected, we may close schools for the entire day, making that call early in the morning. Please be sure to check your messages before heading out tomorrow.
As of now, schools will dismiss as follows:
Yarmouth High School and Harrison Middle School: 11:15 a.m.
Yarmouth Elementary School and Rowe School: 12:00 p.m.
Students will be offered lunch before leaving school, and our transportation department will begin bus runs at the times indicated.
After school activities will be canceled, and all school offices will be closed once all students are dropped off at their appropriate destinations.
I am hopeful that this early notice will provide parents of younger students with the opportunity to make arrangements for afternoon childcare.
