In addition, we recognized the following individuals for their achievements and dedication to their school community:
Students of the Semester: Ella Kruk (9), Carson Hembree (9), and Cole Hickey (10)
Seniors of the Semester: Aura Henderson, Garrett Babcock, and Taylor Takatsu
Faculty of the Semester: Rita Tran, RayeAnne DeSoto, and Katie Collins.
Due to today’s storm, the high school and middle school will be dismissed at 11 am and the elementary schools will be dismissed at 12. A decision about evening athletics will be made shortly. With more snow than expected, we want to be sure students return home safely.

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.

This is a reminder that according to Maine State Immunization Law, students entering their senior year of high school are required to have a 2nd dose of MCV4 Meningococcal vaccination before the start of the school year. I am hoping this reminder will allow ample to complete compliance. Please contact me if you have any questions at 582-3150 or ndiversi@msad11.org

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.

The Central Office will open at 9:30 am. Stay safe.
