					<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>

					<description><![CDATA[We are required to have 2 fire drills within the first
few weeks of school and we had our second one
on Thursday. The fire department was here with 2
trucks and an ambulance so if you hear this news
from your student know that it was part of the drill.
We are also required to have a lockdown drill which
we will have in the near future. Our teachers will be
discussing the procedure with their students but it
still can be a scary experience for the younger
students. If you feel it is appropriate, it does often
help to discuss it at home so students can better
understand the need to practice for safety.]]></description>

the addition of grades K-2 piloting this year. Our
teachers, with support from Nicole Chan, our
curriculum coordinator, have worked diligently this
summer to prepare for this year. We will be having
a Parent Information night October 20 at 6pm here
and hope that all K-2 parents will attend. If, in the
meantime, you have any questions or concerns at
all, please do not hesitate to contact us.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As I think you all know ,we use a bus note system
when we receive a call from parents about end of
the day arrangements. The notes are printed on
bright pink paper and are given to the classroom
teacher as we get the information. Our K-2
students ,who think they may be getting a bus note,
get very anxious if the day goes on and they do not
have their note. I know it is not always possible to
call early, but if the call to the office could be made
as soon as you know, it does alleviate this worry for
the young ones.]]></description>

If your student is absent, please make sure you send in a note or call and let us know the  reason so we can excuse them.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, November 7, 2013, the Peninsula School’s grades 5-8 will be hosting their third annual “Take a Vet to School Day” beginning at 12:00pm.  With the support of Time Warner Cable and the History Channel, we are able to have several area veterans come to our school and talk about their experiences as veterans and how their lives were impacted by their time in the Armed Forces.  The program is open to the public at 12:00pm, and will last approximately 30 minutes.  At that time, students will break off into small groups to talk in a smaller setting with a veteran.  The seventh grade recently participated in the “Interview a Veteran” program at the Cole Museum and will be leaders among their peers for this event.  The staff at the Peninsula School in addition to the Peninsula PTC, Young’s Market, Mc’s Market, Nautica Pub, Grindstone Smoked Seafood and the Winter Harbor Food Service have donated a luncheon for the participating veterans.  Families are welcome to attend this event intended for middle school students from 12:00pm to 12:30pm.]]></description>

Too often, we think of reducing absences as the job of parents or school clerks in the front office. But communities across the country have started to help schools address chronic absence, recognizing that they can build public awareness and leverage resources to address a problem that we can solve. 

Check out this incredibly helpful resource, “10 Steps Communities Can Take to Reduce Chronic Absence,” here!

That’s a quote from a study, “The Importance of Being There: A Report on Absenteeism in the Nation's Public Schools,” which points to the importance of data collection. Only six states track chronic absenteeism: Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Nebraska, Oregon and Rhode Island.

In this news report, “Empty Desks: The Effects of Chronic Absenteeism,” highlights the irrefutable fact that chronic absence hits low-income students particularly hard, especially if they don’t have the resources to make up for lost time in the classroom and are more likely to face barriers to getting to school – such as unreliable transportation. Here the full story from WYPR, Baltimore’s NPR affiliate.

There are many things we can do to stem chronic absenteeism. For one, we can help families to build the habit of attendance as soon as children start school.  While all families want their children to succeed, many don’t realize that regular attendance matters starting as early as kindergarten or even in prekindergarten. We’ll let everyone know that missing 10 percent of school days, or just 2 days every month, can put children at risk.

Principal Cliff Hong knew that too many students missed class at his Oakland, Calif., middle school, but it was not until he analyzed the data that he saw the picture clearly. Every day, 50 to 60 Roosevelt Middle School students were absent and as many as 15% of students were missing nearly a month of school every year. Within a year, however, Hong cut his absentee rate in half and saw his school’s standardized test scores climb by 30 scale points.

Chronic absence is a new way of looking at attendance data. Most schools rely on average attendance rates to tell them how many students typically show up each day.  By contrast, chronic absence examines how many students are missing so much school they are at risk.  Even a school with 95 percent average attendance rate could have as many as 20 percent of its students chronically absent.

Chronic absence can affect all of our children, not just those missing school.  If significant numbers of students in a classroom or school are chronically absent, learning for all students can be adversely affected.  The pace of instruction slows down when teachers have to spend time reviewing material for those who missed the lessons in the first place.]]></description>

Too often chronic absence remains a hidden problem because schools track only average daily attendance and truancy (unexcused absences.) The research shows that chronic absence predicts lower 3rd grade reading proficiency, course failure and eventual dropout.

Fact: Chronic absence in kindergarten is associated with lower academic performance in 1st grade, especially in reading for Latino students. For poor children, unable to make up for time on task, the poor performance extended through 5th grade. By 6th grade chronic absence is a clear predictor of drop-out.

Fact: Every 26 seconds, a student drops out of school. 

By 9th grade, missing 20 percent of the school year is a better predictor of dropping out than test scores.

If you think one day out of school is just one day out of school, think again! The days add up quickly. Our friends at the Get Schooled website have developed an “Attendance Count Calender,” which you can use to see the effect of missing school based on the number of days you are out. The results just might surprise you!

As we kick off Attendance Awareness Month, we hope you’ll join us in learning more about how to reduce chronic absenteeism in your school district. Common sense and research tell us that for students to learn, they have to come to school. 

Chronic absenteeism is missing 10 percent of school days for any reason – excused and unexcused, including in-school suspensions. Based upon research, it marks the point when students start to fall behind academically because they have missed too many school days.
