From Pat Hopkins, MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools: I want to inform you that tomorrow, Thursday, February 27, will be a remote day for all MSAD11 schools. There are two factors associated with this decision - the potential for poor road conditions due to the forecasted weather and a shortage of bus drivers. Given both the uncertainty of the road conditions and the transportation staffing challenge, I am making this decision now to give families the opportunity to prepare. I understand the inconvenience this may cause for families and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Reminder: 2/14/25 is an early release day in MSAD11. GAHS and GRMS released around 11:00 am, and Elementary will release at 12:00 pm. No PREK classes.

Due to the incoming storm, MSAD 11 schools will have a remote learning day on Thursday, February 13. Students will be going home with learning packets or will have access to Google Classroom materials. If you signed up for lunches on remote days, they will be sent home with your student today.

Good morning, this is Pat Hopkins, MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools. As anticipated, today schools in MSAD 11 will be dismissed early due to today’s weather. The middle and high schools will be dismissed at 11 am and the elementary schools will be dismissed at 12 pm. The Central Office will close at 1 pm. Enjoy the snow and please stay safe.

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!
