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.

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.
