Dear Momauguin Families,

This is a friendly reminder that there will be no school Monday, February 16, and Tuesday, February 17, in observance of Presidents Day and a brief Winter Recess.

This is a reminder that we will be holding our PTO meeting this Wednesday from 5:30–6:30 PM at Momauguin School. Immediately following the meeting, we invite you to stay and join us for Family Paint Night! Additional details can be found below.

Thank you for continuing to keep open communication with your child’s teacher and the staff at Momauguin. We are truly grateful to have you as partners and an important part of our school community.

We hope to see you Wednesday evening!

Superintendent's Reading Challenge

The Superintendent's Spring Reading Challenge has begun.
Please record the books your child reads and return Reading Logs to school as requested by the classroom teacher. Some classes have weekly logs and others are collected monthly. We love to celebrate their hard work and participation.

Spring Reading Challenge highlights:

  • Students will read and track books through May 1, 2026.
  • Students will submit their total number of books read.
  • During the month of May, the Superintendent will announce student winners and award a grade-level class trophy.
  • The classroom in each grade level across the district that reads the most books will earn an Ice Cream Social (dates to be determined). 

Thank you for your continued partnership in encouraging reading at home. We are proud of our readers and look forward to another exciting challenge this spring.
