Deer Isle-Stonington Elementary School
Creating resourceful, knowledgeable, and compassionate citizens of tomorrow.
At Deer Isle-Stonington Elementary, our distinct approach to education sets us apart. We foster a close-knit environment that celebrates every individual, reflected in our small class sizes and personalized learning initiatives. Embracing the rich maritime heritage that surrounds us, our hands-on, place-based learning philosophy ensures that students engage with the world beyond our classrooms. Our passionate educators seek to inspire not just academic excellence, but also civic responsibility and environmental stewardship. It’s this holistic, heart-centered education that prepares our students to be the thinkers, leaders, and compassionate citizens who are as resilient and dynamic as the coastal landscape we call home.

Deer Isle-Stonington Elementary and Deer Isle-Stonington High School are proud to announce that we are now a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) school! This means that all students will be eligible to participate in our breakfast and lunch programs at no cost to them or their families for the next four years! How did this happen? Thanks to your efforts in completing the Meal Application Forms for free and reduced meals, we demonstrated a significant need as a community. This is wonderful news for us all! CEP is a federal program, which means that the federal government will cover the cost of student meals—not our state or community. As many of you may have noticed in your student packets, there are no Free or Reduced Meal forms to fill out. This will be the case for the next four years, as our status will remain unchanged during that time.
