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
Superintendent of Schools
Pat Hopkins, Superintendent of Schools for MSAD 11: No school in MSAD 11 tomorrow, Friday, Dec. 16th. With student absences ranging between 15 - 26% and district-wide staff absences around 20% coupled with the weather pattern, it makes it difficult to safely run our schools and to provide meaningful instruction.
I appreciate your understanding. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope the early notification is helpful for planning purposes. I hope the extra day will help students and staff get the rest needed to be able to return to school on Monday. Enjoy the snow and Happy Holidays.
If you are getting an error message when you try to login to PowerSchool on the App, it is likely due to a software upgrade installed on our PowerSchool server.
To fix the issue, the App needs to be updated to the most current version. Users should delete the App, then install it again from the App Store. Our District PowerSchool code is PTNX
We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.
Some Holiday Cheer before the Winter Break...
Distance Vision Screening will start this week for 9th graders. This is a quick screening that does not interfere with academic time. Please email me at ndiversi@msad11.org if you would like your student to opt out from the screening.
Congratulations to the Students of the Month! Ben Kimball, Sydney Dayken, Gigi Grant, Molly Stickney, and Jessa-Lynn Ellis, pictured with Superintendent Hopkins.
MSAD11 administrators meet with local first responders on a regular basis to discuss confidential elements of our emergency plan. The goal is to strengthen our ability to respond to future emergencies.
There have been a few inquiries from the public as to attendance at the workshop this afternoon. The pre-scheduled meeting is for administrators and local law enforcement and is not a public meeting.
Superintendent Patricia Hopkins update from Gardiner Area High School: bit.ly/3gayEbE
This is Pat Hopkins, MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools with an update on the situation at the Gardiner Area High School. The high school has been thoroughly searched and cleared law enforcement. As a result, the lockdown has been lifted. Today’s threat was received by dispatch via a phone call concerning multiple school districts around the state. Multiple law enforcement agencies were on site supporting us and ensuring the safety of all students and staff.
Parents who wish to pick up their students to take them home for the day may do so by checking them out of the main office.
I commend students and staff for following our emergency plan and doing what they were supposed to do in these type of situations. As additional information presents itself, I will provide all of you with an update, including next steps.
Good afternoon. Today, the MSAD11 notification system will be tested. Text messages, phone calls, and emails will be sent to parent/guardians and staff in all buildings. Please contact the office in your child's school to request phone number and/or email address changes. If you do not have any children in MSAD11, call the central office at (207)582-5346 ext. 1211 to have your information removed.
PHOTO RETAKE DAY IS WEDNESDAY 11/16/22, 7:30am-12:30pm in the Little theater
All phone issues have been repaired, and the system is fully functioning. Thank you for your patience.
MSAD11 is having issues with the phone system in some of our schools, the bus garage, and the central office. If your call is not answered, please leave a detailed voicemail message.
An additional notice will be sent when the trouble has been repaired.
The NHS is currently collecting coins (or dollar bills) to help purchase food for the 200 Thanksgiving Baskets we will be giving out to community members on 11/21. We want to thank everyone who has donated or is intending on donating! Remember that the homeroom for each grade level that brings in the most money will get a Dunkin breakfast after Thanksgiving Break!
In addition to the coin collection, we would like to let you all know that due to the number of requests I have received, that students can earn community service hours for donating a turkey (or two). Here are the guidelines:
* Each turkey is worth 2 hours
* Each student can earn a maximum of 4 hours (2 turkeys)
* Turkeys can ONLY be dropped off on 11/21 (Monday) outside of room 401 between 7AM - 7:45AM. (we do not have access to storage for turkeys and will not accept them earlier than this date)
* When the student drops off the turkey, they will receive their community service form at that time. It is the student's responsibility to finish completing the form and turn it into the main office. If a student does not turn it in, that is on the student.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Boudreau.
