=RSU 3 "SUCCESS IN LEARNING=SUCCESS IN LIFE"= = Creating A Shared Vision of A Better Education System =

We are rethinking education in our district from the ground up. It's a serious process that requires as much insight and forethought as possible. For these reasons we need as many parents and community members directly involved in the process as possible. RSU 3 is a school district that represents 11 communities. These are your schools and we need YOUR HELP in transforming them into the schools you wish to see!

Topics

 * [[file:Final RSU 3 Mission & Vision Statement.pdf|New RSU 3 Mission/Vision]] - the culmination of 18 months worth of work with staff, students, parents, and community!
 * Community Outreach - Discussing strategies for engaging the wider community
 * Newsletters - Drafts of mass emails to our community through the RSU 3 Communities email list.
 * For Demo Purposes - This is a test.
