The MSAD 11 Finance Committee meeting at 5:30 pm is cancelled.
MSAD 11 has no phone service when without power, so the Central Office will be closed until power is restored.
Good morning. This is Pat Hopkins, MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools. There will be no school today in MSAD 11. Last night I was clearly over optimistic about the possibility of getting power restored and roads cleared in order for us to have school today. Good luck with the clean up today. Please stay safe and I will provide families and staff with updates as they become available.
Currently there is no power at the middle school and the Helen Thompson School. At this time we do not have an estimated time for the power to be restored and as the day goes on, we anticipate even more outages. Without lights and at HT without septic and water, it is necessary for me to release school early today. The Gardiner Area High School and the Gardiner Regional Middle School will be released at 10:30 and all of the elementary schools will be released at 11:30. Parents who have children at the Helen Thompson School, if you are able to pick up your child prior to 11:30 am, I request that you do so. Again Gardiner Area High School and Gardiner Regional Middle School will be dismissed at 10:30 and the elementary schools will be dismissed at 11:30 am. There is no afternoon pre-k.

Good afternoon. This is Pat Hopkins, MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools. In light of the recent tragic event, its direct impact on many of our students and staff, and the need to prepare for the well-being of students and staff as they return to school, tomorrow, Monday, October 30, there will be a 2 hour delay to the start of school and no AM-Pre-K. I recognize the direct impact this will have on families, for which I am truly sorry. Please read this letter which provides greater detail: https://bit.ly/45LjYDH

Message from MSAD11 Superintendent Pat Hopkins: https://bit.ly/3tOZqgl
From Pat Hopkins, MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools: Due to the tragic event in Lewiston last evening and the on-going search for the suspect, all schools and the Central Office in MSAD 11 will be closed today, Thursday, October 26. Without knowing the location of the suspect, who is a resident of Bowdoinham and who has connections to Gardiner, bringing the students and staff together is simply not safe. My heart goes out to the victims, families and those impacted by this senseless act of violence. Hug your loved ones and keep them close. Please be safe
