Check out our first, second and third place winners of the pickle ball tournament hosted by Mr. Jacobs during club time.
Students have spent the last several weeks learning and playing pickle ball in preparation of this weeks tournament. Winners of the tournament went home with their very own trophy jar of pickles!! Once these students knew there were pickles on the line their competitiveness and energy on the courts increased.

K-8 Reconfiguration Data Collection
Dear Orleans Central Supervisory Union Parents and Guardians;
The Lake Region Elementary Middle School District Board is researching the possibility of implementing a grade band reconfiguration across our six K-8 schools for next year (August 2024).
This process requires the review of data and various models in order to make a well-informed decision. If you want to follow the discussion, please go to the OCSU.org website and under the Board Option you will find board meeting agendas and minutes.
One of the data points that must be collected is feedback and input from our families. If you have or will have a child(ren) in one of our K-8 schools during the 2024-2025 school year (from the towns of Albany, Barton, Brownington, Glover, Irasburg, Orleans and Westmore), please take a few minutes to complete this online survey.
PLEASE use this link: https://forms.gle/9FCsmuvHJHG3hX6A9
If you are unable to complete it electronically, please stop in at one of our school’s offices or the Central Office on 130 Kinsey Road in Barton to fill out a paper copy.
We appreciate your time and effort in this process.
We need to collect all feedback and input from this survey by Wednesday, February 7th at 4:00 p.m.
If you need assistance, feel free to contact any of the principal offices or call my office at 802-525-1204.
The LRUEMSD School Board will be meeting Monday, February 5th. See the attached agenda for more details.
