Wiscasset Primary School is a busy school serving students from kindergarten through fourth grade. We start school in September and go until the middle of June. We start school at 7:50 and finish at 2:40 Monday - Friday.

We have three kindergarten and second grade rooms, and four first, third, and fourth grade rooms. There are between eighteen and twenty-four students in our classes. There are seven custodians, eighteen homeroom teachers, eighteen special area teachers, and 384 students.

Our school has a computer lab networked with thirty-one Macintosh computers and each second, third, and fourth grade room has four networked Macintosh computers. We use the computers at least one half hour each day for Jostens' reading, math, writing, and research. All rooms are networked to the Internet.

We have a gymnasium that at lunch time is turned into a cafeteria! There is a stage that is sometimes used for plays we do for parents and students. There is a music room where students learn about music and singing. There are speech rooms provided for students who need help with their speech problems. The art room is for students to learn about famous artists and learn how to draw. The library is for students to read and to sign out books. We scan in our books when we want to take a book out. The science room is where the students learn very interesting things. There is a guidance room that Mr. Saufler teaches in. We have a resource room that gives extra help to students. Mrs. Freeman is one of the helpers at the school. Cindy is the secretary who takes our money for hot lunch. Mrs. Pitcher, Mrs. Pontau, and Cindy help parents, students and teachers in the office.

The Morris Farm is beside the school. We learn about plants and animals: cows and chickens on the farm. We have a lot of field trips because we like to learn outside of school. In the summer some of us go to summer recreation at the school, some of us go to summer school, and some of us just play.

We love our school and hope you do too.
