We’re sitting here in a Reinventing Schools Coalition (RISC) training will all 350 or so staff of RSU #2 and the excitement in the room is impressive.

We’re all excited to see the students come back on Thursday September 2 for grades K - 9, and Friday September 3 for grades 10-12.

Welcome!

We’ve come together for three days this week to participate in Reinventing Schools Coalition (RISC) training with Rich DeLorenzo for all teaching staff of RSU #2.  It’s exciting to see so much energy in the same place, directing everyone at the same goal: reinventing an outdated and nearly dysfunctional educational model designed a century ago…

Please see contact information attached to each listing.

Important Notice:
While we welcome the changes in Internet access made available to us from networkmaine.net from Time Warner, it means that we may be experiencing some Internet (and email/web, etc) outages for the next couple of weeks while the new network is configured.  This applies to all schools in the RSU including schools in Dresden, Monmouth, Richmond, Hallowell and Farmingdale.

I appreciate your understanding and thank you for your patience while we prepare for a great 2010-2011 school year.

Sincerely,
John Armentrout
Director of Information Technology

RSU2 will be reimaging 7-12 faculty laptops during the first week of August 2010:

• August 2 : Monmouth
• August 3 : Richmond
• August 4 & 5 : Halldale
• August 6: RSU Central Office (for any faculty member)

This video describes the process of backing up your files (home folder) to external media to streamline the process.

note:

• K-6 faculty as well as other staff will also have their laptops re-imaged on a separate schedule. While the backup process is identical, we will update these faculty members later this month with the schedule for receiving their software update.
• In Monmouth, Danielle may also be able to provide faculty members with a server share for use in backing up your data rather than using thumb-drive…please contact Danielle for further information
• The RSU may be able to provide a limited number of 8gb thumb-drives for use in backing up your data. Please contact the IT department if you need assistance.
