					<description><![CDATA[Are you wondering what happened to the envelope full of papers we send home prior to school each year?  The RSU updates are now on-line via the Infinite Campus Parent Portal!  

Infinite Campus allows all parents/guardians to have their own log in to the program, but only one parent/guardian can complete the on-line update.  A computer algorithm has identified the parent to complete the update based on information already available.  In the next 24 hours, the parent identified will receive an email from studentdata@rsu24.org with information to log into the Parent Portal and instructions on how to complete the process.   If you do not receive an email and would like to complete the update, please email studentdata@rsu24.org.]]></description>

				<link>http://www.rsu24.org/apps/news/article/1377288</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.rsu24.org/apps/news/article/1377288</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[The Maine Broadband Coalition has launched a statewide internet speed test mapping initiative. The goal of the “Get Up To Speed” initiative is to gather data from across the state to generate the most comprehensive map of both the presence and quality of internet in Maine to date. 
 
Residents are being asked to help the initiative by taking this less-than-a-minute test to map their own speed through the Maine Broadband Coalition’s website. 
 
The Maine Broadband Coalition will aggregate, document, and visualize the speed testing information to provide users and state officials with up-to-date service maps. Participants can view their results (while personal information remains confidential) and watch the public map of Maine grow in real-time.

A crucial next step

The new speed testing initiative is the crucial next step in ensuring the delivery of broadband throughout the state and will help local, regional, and state leaders develop projects and steer investments to the places that need it most. This map, along with other data collected, will help inform where the bond funding, approved by Maine voters in July, can have the most impact.

Please take a minute today to take the Maine Broadband test. This two-minute grass-roots activity is the next step in helping to expand high-quality broadband to all Mainers. Test your own speed now by using the link below.]]></description>

 We are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 situation that is impacting the country, our state, and events of all kinds. The health and well-being of our staff, students, and community is our number one priority. With that being said, tomorrow (Saturday) we will not be having students attend school as originally planned, and instead will be having a Staff-Only day at each building to discuss and make plans for the continuation of education in the event of a school closure. 

We will continue to update you as information is made available to us. More information will be provided by Superintendent Eastman in the next couple of days. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we all work through this difficult time.]]></description>

				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.rsu24.org/apps/news/article/1144920</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[At the January 7, 2020 Board meeting, a formal resolution was passed announcing the work of the RSU 24 naming committee for the new middle/high school facility.  After research and consideration regarding the history of the name behind the current Sumner Memorial High School and the contributions of Dr. Charles M. Sumner to the greater local educational community, the committee created an online and paper based survey to gather detailed feedback about the future high school and middle school name(s).  With an overwhelming number of 689 total responses from community members, Alumni, and students currently in grades 3-12, the committee was able to make an informed decision that upheld traditions, honored the work of Dr. Sumner, as well as supported the identity of two separate institutions that will lie under one roof.  With a unanimous vote, the RSUB designated the forthcoming middle/high school facility in Sullivan, Maine to be named, in two parts, Sumner Memorial High School and Sumner Middle School. The property and structures on it will collectively be named the Charles M. Sumner Learning Campus.]]></description>

To date, we have had to cancel school six times district wide, with one of our schools having a seventh day off due to loss of power.  In light of these cancellations and with the uncertainty of the weather over the next couple of weeks, we will be changing our March 23rd Professional Day (teachers only) to a regular student day.  Since March 23 is a Friday, we will have the regular early release, beginning at 1:30 at the high school.  Thank you ahead of time for your patience and understanding.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Sumner High School Building Committee met last night, February 20.  Among the items discussed were the Educational Specifications Document.  This document creates the conceptual roadmap for planning and designing a building that structurally supports our teaching and learning practices.  The Committee approved moving the document forward for the RSU #24 Board of Directors to consider at its March 6th meeting. 

The Building Committee also recommended holding a district-wide Straw Vote to gauge support  for submitting the current Sumner Memorial High School location as the building site for the new school.  This is an important step in the State required school construction process.  This is a great opportunity to learn about the building project, offer input into the creation of the new facility, and volunteer to serve on one of several subcommittees that will delve in detail into specific aspects of planning and design of the new facility as the project moves forward.  Your participation and  ideas are needed and encouraged.  Please plan on attending this important meeting. Date to be determined.]]></description>

Thank you Mr. Ewald for all that you and The Ark do for animals in our community and for sharing with our students!

					<description><![CDATA[RSU 24 schools participated in the “Maine Harvest Lunch Week” in September.

Maine harvested foods were served at all of our schools.  Items on the menu included Maine raised beef, Aroostook County potatoes, fruits and vegetables from local farmers (including corn on the cob, apples and blueberries), Maine lobster and Maine milk.  Students participated in food preparation such as shucking the corn.  We look forward to participating next year and will continue to incorporate local farm foods in our menu whenever possible.

In recognition of our participation the District has received a Farm to School Champion Award from the Maine Department of Education Child Nutrition.

As stated in the RSU 24 strategic plan, we will utilize a ‘farm to school’ perspective whenever possible.]]></description>
