RSU 87 is in DESPERATE need of substitutes! Want an opportunity to make a difference in our kids' lives? Please consider filling out an application to be added to our district sub list! Substitute teachers play a far more important role in schools than simply covering classes, they ensure that our students have all of the resources they need to be successful.When schools are short staffed, everyone has to work together to cover the open periods.This takes resources away from others and impacts the quality education we strive to provide for our students. If you're interested in making a positive impact on the kids in our communities please consider signing up to sub today! Pay rates are $96 for regular substitutes and $101 for those with a college degree, and all substitutes will be required to be fingerprinted. Please fill out our substitute application located at rsu87.org, under the "Documents" tab, and return it to our Central Office, 44 Plymouth Road, Carmel, ME 04419, to get the process started!

Mrs. Elwell would love your help! A Message from our Music Teacher Mrs. Elwell: I am looking for a family who would like to volunteer to be a part of a graduate school project I am working on this summer. This project would include a brief interview with the student and their guardian(s) regarding their educational, cultural background. Basically, I want to know more about my community and the lives they live outside of my classroom! This class focuses on the wide range of diverse learners we have in our classrooms and communities, so my interview will include 5-7 questions about your particular family's educational experience, your goals for the education of your student, and the unique knowledge and background your student and family brings to the RSU 87 community. This project is not a diagnosis of problems, but rather a way for me to make sure that my planning recognizes, honors, and reflects the many different cultures that my students come from and bridges the gap between "school music" and "home music", so that students see themselves represented in my classroom materials and learning. If you are interested in participating please send an email to belwell@rsu87.org.
