RSU 19 FOOD SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT MEAL DELIVERY SCHEDULE March 22, 2021 As the students started returning to in-school learning, we asked parent to re-register if they needed the meal deliveries to continue or if they needed to start receiving meals.

This will start this week. Meal pick up will continue as usual. Parent always have the option to arrange for pick up service for the students that are still remote. If you want to continue and have not already re-registered, PLEASE, go to the District webpage and fill out the meal survey.

Message from the Maine Department of Education 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. We strongly encourage you to share this link with your community, so that we can get the most accurate map possible. 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.
