To access an important letter from MSAD11 Superintendent Kady Gould regarding the "Bell to Bell" Policy on student personal electronic devices, click the link: https://bit.ly/4fTIDNt
IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR GAHS FAMILIES:
Beginning August 1st, state law requires all public schools in Maine to implement a Bell-to-Bell Personal Electronic Device policy that prohibits the use of cell phones and other personal electronic devices during the school day. Gardiner Area High School is finalizing our procedures to align with this new state requirement, and we will be sharing more information with students and families soon. Thank you for your partnership as we work together to adjust to these new changes.

On Tuesday, June 9, our community will have an important opportunity to help shape the future of our schools by voting on the proposed school budget referendum.
This vote is about more than numbers on a page—it is about investing in the students, staff, programs, and opportunities that make our schools strong and our community vibrant. The proposed budget is designed to support quality educational experiences, maintain essential services, and ensure that our schools continue to meet the needs of all learners.
Strong schools are the foundation of a strong community. They help attract families, support local economic growth, and prepare the next generation for success. The decisions we make today will have a lasting impact on the opportunities available to our students tomorrow.
Whether you are a parent, taxpayer, staff member, alumni, business owner, or community supporter, your voice matters. Participating in the referendum is one of the most direct ways to influence the future of public education in our community.
Please remember to vote on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
Together, we support our schools and our community. Together, we build a bright future.
Vote June 9. Every voice matters.
