					<description><![CDATA[Hi, it’s Mrs. Wheeler!  I hope you all are having a great summer. I can’t wait to see how many of you completed your Super Summer Challenge packets… I’ll be ready to celebrate with you in the fall. This year will be a big change for me as I will be the 5th grade ELA and Social Studies teacher. I look forward to working with Mrs. Bernier,  5th grade parents, and all of our incoming 5th graders to have a great school year! I have been teaching for 30 years now, 15 as a classroom teacher and 15 as a reading specialist/ interventionist. I have spent the last 22 years here at MVS. My 3 children attended MVS through 8th grade. I am so happy to be part of this community and to have worked with so many students and families over the years. I currently live with my husband, David, and my family in Trenton. I enjoy being outside in nature and all it has to offer. I look forward to seeing all of you at the end of August!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello Mountain View families! I’m Amanda Tracey and after a wonderful 24-25 school year at MVS as Mrs. Beal's teacher assistant, I’m beyond excited to begin a new chapter at Mountain View as the new PreK teacher! I’ve always had a passion for working with young children because I believe this age is when the magic of learning begins. Seeing those "aha!" moments when kids discover something new, whether it’s recognizing their first letter or learning to work together as a team is honestly one of the most rewarding experiences.
I’ve spent several years in early childhood education and each day brings something new and exciting. I aim to create a warm, fun, and nurturing classroom where children feel safe to explore, ask questions, and develop a love for learning. I believe in a hands-on, play-based approach where students learn best through creative activities, storytelling, and building meaningful relationships.
When I’m not in the classroom, I love to hike, beach comb with my partner, craft, and curl up with my doodle on a Sunday morning with coffee and my kindle. I find that these little joys outside of school help me bring even more energy and creativity into my teaching.
I’m so excited to meet the new families and kiddos I’ll have the pleasure of working with this year and seeing a few familiar faces, too, and to partner together in making this a year full of laughter, growth, and discovery!]]></description>

We are all people, we are all learners, and we learn together.  We question, we discuss, we seek evidence, and we draw conclusions. This is the heart and purpose of the classroom.   My hope for this school year is that my students will leave at the end of the school year feeling capable, smart and valued.  I can't wait to meet the second grade cougars and work with my Cougar Family!"]]></description>

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>

					<description><![CDATA[Good Day MVS Cougars!
I am happy to introduce myself, Genevieve M Billings, as your new Pre-K teacher. I can’t wait to meet you all in the coming days. Although this is my first year at MVS, it will be my 29th year in Early Childhood Education (ECE). I feel honored to be able to guide our youngest into a lifelong love of learning. I started in the field of ECE when, my now grown daughter, was just three herself. How time flies!
I hold a BS in Child Development & Family Relations, which I completed here at UMO, after teaching for many years in CT with my Associates in ECE. Yes, I am a Nutmegger, born and raised in CT, but moved here to live in SWH, when my daughter was entering 4th grade. I put down roots here, when I later bought property in Lamoine and made Maine my forever home! Met and married myself “A Mainer” and we happily share our property with chickens, and our cat Gromit.
I have made it my sole purpose to continually evolve with my education and have furthered that by most recently spending a decade teaching in an Ellsworth Montessori School, which closed with Covid. While there, I started teaching kids yoga in 2014 and became a fully Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher (RCYT) with Yoga Alliance, during the Covid shut down phase of life. I am blessed to run my own kids yoga business, balabeeyoga.com With my education background and the benefits of yoga for kids, I believe it's a symbiotic relationship and truly a beautiful thing. I feel most at home observing children settle into themselves and love holding space for them as they come into that knowing!
I have many passions and love all things nature, birds most especially, art, music and I have a wanderlust to travel the world! My husband and I are often out hiking, camping, kayaking, paddle boarding, gardening or cooking wonderful whole foods at our home. I love a good bonfire, to cycle and do all things yoga, while my husband runs. In addition to my kids yoga teacher certification I hold my 200-RYT, and am presently studying for my 300 hour, to become a 500 hour RYT. In our spare time, my husband and I are off Jeepin’ during these nice summer days! 
I am very much looking forward to a fabulous school year with my new Pre-K Friends & Cougar Family! See you soon :)]]></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>
