Dear Parent/Guardian of an Incoming Kindergarten Student:
Welcome to RSU 14! We are thrilled to welcome you and your child as we begin preparing for the 2025 - 2026 school year. It is our sincere hope that your family has a positive experience as your child begins their educational journey. We recognize that deciding to register a child for kindergarten is an important decision and one that is often accompanied by questions and anxious feelings. We want to partner with you throughout this transition period and provide as much information as possible to support you and your child. This site was designed to provide you with an overview of some of the knowledge and skills that you could practice as you work with your child to prepare for the fall.Â
