Pat Hopkins, Superintendent of Schools in MSAD11: I am closely monitoring tomorrow’s weather, which, as of now, is expected to bring snow starting midday. I want to inform you that I am considering an early dismissal tomorrow based on the current forecast and predicted road conditions. While a final decision will be made tomorrow, I understand how disruptive an unplanned early dismissal can be, so I wanted to share my current thoughts to help families plan ahead.
Again, any change to the school day due to weather will be announced tomorrow. Have a great evening!

The Regular School Board meeting scheduled for Thursday, February 6, 2025 has been postponed due the the final draft of the MOU/MOA for the School Based Health Center is not yet ready and the predicted snow storm. A new date has yet to be determined.

Dear Parent/Guardians and Staff: MSAD11 has been informed by PowerSchool, the platform we use to manage student information, of a recent cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to customer data stored on their servers. Note - this incident occurred on PowerSchool’s systems and did not involve any servers or systems under the control of our school district. Many school districts throughout the United States have been affected. PowerSchool has assured us that the breach has been contained and that they are taking all necessary steps to secure their systems and prevent future incidents. While no operational disruptions have occurred, it is possible that certain student, staff, and family information was accessed. We are working closely with PowerSchool to understand the scope of the incident and will provide updates as more information becomes available.

Good afternoon. I am contacting you to update you on the status of this morning’s threat against Gardiner Area High School. The person who made the threat has been identified and has been arrested for terrorizing. Thank you to all of the law enforcement officers who investigated this threat and swiftly took action to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
Since there is no on-going threat, the Gardiner Area High School is reopened. Staff may re-enter the building and athletic practices and events may resume.
I hope you all have a very happy holiday season.
Pat Hopkins, MSAD11 Superintendent of Schools

Out of an abundance of caution the Gardiner Area High School only will be closed today due to a threat against the school. The rest of the schools in MSAD 11 will remain open. My apologies for the short notice. High school students who are currently on the bus will be able to ride their bus back home.

There will be a 2 hour delay to the start of school in MSAD11 today, no AM pre-k, and the Central Office will open at 9 am. The roads are very icy this morning. If road conditions do not improve by 7:00 am, it will be necessary to make today a remote day. Should that happen, you will receive another message around 7:15 am. Thank you, drive safe and enjoy your day.
