					<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>

				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://smhs.rsu24.org/apps/news/article/1637557</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[The purpose of this email is to update you on the status of the Charles M. Sumner Learning Campus. Despite the diligent efforts of many individuals involved in the project, we will not be able to start the 2022-2023 school year in the new facility. The water sprinkler system that is in place will not function appropriately to provide the necessary protections for our staff and students. This is an unfortunate (and frustrating) situation that we are working to remedy in a timely fashion but it does appear that the fix will take months to complete.

				<link>http://smhs.rsu24.org/apps/news/article/1377288</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://smhs.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>

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>

					<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[Weather has sure taken a toll on our school calendar.  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[Come join us at HCTC on Sunday, April 2nd for the  5th Annual Boggy Brook 1mi Family Fun Run & 5k Race! SMHS' very own Hannah Whalen will represent us at Skills USA National Competition in the Medical Math Division.

The spring sports season is upon us, what better team-building and conditioning activity than to have your athletes participate in the Fun Run or 5k Race!

The summer months (while seemingly still far away) are coming fast, so start your mission to get in shape for swimsuit season by walking, jogging, running or a combination of all three, with us on Sunday!

Race registration begins at 8:00am at HCTC
$20 for adults and $10 for those under 18!
The 1mi Fun Run will start promptly at 9:00am
The 5k Race will begin directly following the Fun Run.

FREE T-SHIRTS to the first 50 racers to register! 

For more information see the attached registration form, or
contact Ben Speed or Heather Pelletier.]]></description>
