If your student would like to have their school picture retaken, please send your Picture Package to school with your student on Retake Day. Your Retake Picture Package will be produced and shipped to the school four weeks after Retake Day.
Please note, if your child is photographed on the original and Retake Picture Days, the Retake picture will replace the original picture in certain products, like the yearbook.
Students who were absent for Picture Day should come to school prepared to have their picture taken. If you have not preordered, please use the Retake Order Code 0289YBF to place your order at https://inter-state.com/Order.

Find answers to Retake Day questions here.
Do you have a band instrument at home that is no longer being used? Our school is collecting gently used instruments to become part of the district instrument loan inventory. This allows RSU5 to lend instruments to families in need for free.
We are looking for flutes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, trombones, baritones, & percussion kits. If you would like to contribute, please drop off instruments at the main office during regular hours. Your generosity will help our program grow and give students the gift of music.
Thank you for your support!
