***No School Tomorrow 1/23***

Winter Weather Policy

with cancellation clarification

We use RSU 13 for GUIDANCE on delays and weather cancellations. We will always follow a delay but unless you hear directly from us we will not necessarily have a cancellation alongside RSU 13. Not only do we not have busses to worry about, RSU 13 may also have reasons for cancellations that do not effect us. We're so lucky at Riley to be more nimble and flexible in our decision making!

If you have not heard further from us by 7 am, assume the last communication from Riley is what stands. And as always, do what you need to do to keep your family safe.

When possible info will be posted on FB and on WGME13 and WCSHStorm Center 6. Sign up for automatic text messages from the WCSH6 Storm Center website. We also send a text or email when possible.

In case of a power outage cancellation, call the school. If the answering machine picks up we do have power and thus school. 

We do not do early dismissal but encourage families to make their own decisions re safety and to pick up at any time during the day. There will be NO AFTERCARE on a day when RSU13 has an early dismissal. 

As always, use your own discretion regarding road conditions in your area and choose safety over attendance. Please call in as early as possible if you choose not to bring your child in on inclement weather days so we do not worry about you.

Camden Winterfest 2023

Saturday, January 28, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Join the Riley family for some Ice Carving fun!

Let’s celebrate the coldest months of the year by warming up some ice and making it our own. 

Camden Winterfest 2023 will include, as usual, hot food, outdoor music, ice carving, the Polar Plunge, the Doggie Fashion Show, and a Kids Story Walk! They will also have kids crafts indoors this year.

Ice carving starts at 10am in the Camden Amphitheater and will be judged at 2pm. The Riley students will bring the design.  Join the team to transform a crystal-clear block of ice into a sparkling sculpture! We need your help to bring our design to life!

BYOT - Bring your own tools! We’ll have some tools to share but encourage you to bring your own tools too. Tools can include: chisels, rasps, graters, spoons, picks etc. No power tools! 

We’ll carve in two flights - 10am-12pm and 12pm to 2pm. Sign up below!

We also love volunteers who bring warming refreshments . This is a super fun day as well as a positive marketing opportunity for Riley. We invite other children to come wield a tool and never know exactly whether a prizewinning sculpture will emerge or not!

See you there!
