There will be a 2 hour delay, no am pre-k and the Central Office will open at 9 am in MSAD11 today.The roads and sidewalks are all covered with ice, though crews are out treating roads. The temps are currently hovering around 30 degrees and the freezing rain is not expected to end until 7 am. If the temperatures do not warm up sufficiently it is possible that this delay could turn into a cancellation since our buses will have to be on the road before 8 am. If we need to shift the delay to a cancellation, another message will be sent out by 7:15 am.If you have to be out first thing this morning, please be safe out there.
Pat Hopkins MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools: Due to today’s storm, the high school and middle school will be dismissed at 11:00 am and the elementary schools will be dismissed at 12:00 pm and there will be no afternoon Pre-K. The Central Office will close today at 2 pm and there will be no afternoon or evening activities. As of this moment, the forecast is calling for close to 6 inches in our area with the heavy snow beginning around noon and tapering off beginning around 8 pm. The roads are supposed to be slick, so I want to get buses and cars off the roads before they get too bad. Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Wednesday, January 10, there will be a 2 hour delay and no morning Pre-Kindergarten. The change to rain will have our roads in decent condition by the time buses get on the road. The wind gusts are supposed to begin subsiding around 7 am. Should we begin seeing significant power outages, downed trees and/or serious flooding, this delay could change into a cancellation. With a 2 hour delay, our buses will be on the road around 8 am, so if the delay is changed to a cancellation, another notice will be sent out between 7 - 7:30 am. The Central Office will open at 9:30 am. Stay safe.

Pat Hopkins, Superintendent of Schools for MSAD 11:
One of our graduates, Chase Fossett, recently passed away in a tragic car accident. A vigil has been organized by friends of the family for this Sunday, December 18 at 5 pm on Hoch Field. They have also arranged for a fireworks display to take place on the GAHS Field Hockey Field beginning around 6 pm.
Knowing how impactful the noise from fireworks can be for pets, children, the elderly and others, I wanted us to get the word out to help make certain local residents know to take any precautions they believe necessary to ensure the safety of their pets and their entire family. Thank you for your assistance.
Best,
Pat Hopkins
