Remember- There is no school tomorrow!
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. The test can be found at https://www.mainebroadbandcoalition.org/speed-test-info?
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 by visiting this link: https://expressoptimizer.net/projects/Maine/speedtestmap.php
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.

Dear Whitefield Parents,
If you and your student(s) are planning to travel outside of the state over the Holiday break please contact the school nurse prior to your child returning. Also, please contact the nurse if your child is sick over vacation or has any exposure to a known positive COVID 19 person. Please do not send them back to school without first contacting the school at keanderson@svrsu.org.
Enjoy your time with family!
