Consistent with Colchester’s Strategic Plan, the Colchester School Board encourages community groups to use school facilities for educational, civic, cultural, or recreational purposes.  The Colchester School District is not able to subsidize clubs or groups and therefore must charge, as near as possible, the actual cost for use of the school facilities.

For more information, please review Colchester School District's Buildings and Grounds Use Policy.

1. Contact the appropriate school to reserve school facilities:
• Colchester High School (264-5700)
• Colchester Middle School (264-5800)
• Malletts Bay School (264-5900)
• Porters Point School (264-5920)
• Union Memorial School (264-5959)

2. Complete a Building and Grounds Use Application. This form is available from any school and the district's administrative offices (264-5999).

3. Submit your completed application to the appropriate school for approval by the Building Administrator.  Upon approval, a copy of your application will be returned to you by the district's administrative office.  Fees will be stated in Section III, Terms and Conditions.

4. If security or police coverage is required, you must make such arrangements and you will be responsible for this expense.  You must inform the Colchester Police Department (264-5556), the Principal of the building/facility being used, and the school district's Maintenance Foreman (264-5975) of the details of the security arrangement.

5. Payment in advance is expected and due when the event is scheduled.  If the activity is cancelled, you must notify the school where the event is scheduled.

If the activity is cancelled at least 72 hours in advance of the scheduled building/facility use, you will receive a full refund of your payment less any related expenses incurred by the School District.

If the activity is cancelled with less than 72 hours remaining before the scheduled building/facility use, you will receive a half refund of your payment less any related expenses incurred by the School District.
