RSU 64 -

New Teachers started today!! Welcome to RSU 64! We are so glad you are here!

Central Track Club had their end of season gathering this afternoon at Peaks Kenny to get awards and celebrate together. Thank you to the coaches (Mike Viani, Peter Marsh and Chris Cook) for restarting this program for our community. Incoming kindergarten students through high school volunteers spent their summer developing and honing their skills. Be on the lookout next year for signups to join in and be a part of the Central Track Club!

Our administrative team has spent the past 3 days collaborating with other leaders around the area at Orono High School for the Danielson Institute. This professional development will be used to create a more efficient, effective and calibrated approach to our professional growth and development.

Looking for something to do this summer? Come out on August 3rd and support our community summer track program. This Thursday, at Brewer Community School beginning at 10am, our club will be competing in their regional meet, in order to qualify for States. The kids have been practicing each Monday and Tuesday evening throughout the summer to prepare. Let’s show them some support!

Summer Services are underway and our students are taking part in experiences focusing on academics, social and emotional learning, STEM activities as well as outdoor learning opportunities. Student engagement is high and it is a joy to watch the impacts that are being made!

It's referendum day! Please stop by your polling station today to vote on the school district budget for 2023-2024. The budget was approved unanimously at the public meeting held last week. Now, we need voters to approve that action. Thank you for participating in this process and supporting your local schools.

Due to a water issue at Central Middle School and Central High School, all schools in RSU 64 will have a delayed start tomorrow, Tuesday, May 23, 2023. All schools will be opening 1 hour late. Buses will be one hour late picking up students and no students should be dropped off before 8:30am. We will still have morning PreK and the morning run to UTC will still take place. We apologize for this inconvenience but we expect we will need an additional hour in the morning to ensure our water delivery has arrived and we are able to open. Thank you for your understanding.

The Annual District Budget Meeting for the 2023-2024 proposed budget will take place in the cafeteria at CCES on Thursday, June 8 at 7pm.

Citizens that are not registered to vote may not vote on the budget but are still encouraged to attend the meeting.

Please review the 2023-2024 proposed budget available at your town office or the RSU 64 website. We hope to see you there!

RSU 64 will be providing another opportunity to participate in our ESSER III stakeholders meeting, via Zoom, on Tuesday, January 17th at 6:00pm This meeting is to share information, discuss changes and receive suggestions for projects associated with RSU 64's ESSER III grant. the link to attend is : https://networkmaine.zoom.us/j/85163249253 Who is a stakeholder? Stakeholders are Students, Families, School and District Administration, teachers and staff, and Community Members. What is ESSER III? ESSER III is the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) Fund, authorized under the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021, provides over $411 million to Maine to support schools in safely reopening and sustaining safe operations while meeting the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of students resulting from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. It is particularly important that ARP ESSER funding will enable school administrative units (SAUs), and more directly schools, to support students who have been most severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and are likely to have suffered the most because of longstanding inequities in our communities and schools that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Guidance for how ESSER III might to be used can be found here in the ED COVID 19 Handbook: https://www2.ed.gov/documents/coronavirus/reopening-2.pdf. We look forward to sharing this very important work with you.
