Hello!
I am thrilled to be one of the newest members of the Helen Thompson community. While this is my twelfth year in MSAD 11, it is my first year as the assistant principal and instructional support administrator at HT.
This past year, as the fully remote first grade teacher, I was able to meet some of the wonderful families here in West Gardiner and look forward to building upon those relationships while creating new ones with those I haven’t had the privilege to meet yet. Most importantly, I look forward to supporting the teachers and staff as they continue to engage, nurture, and educate your children. This new role brings many new responsibilities, however, my commitment to supporting students to become lifelong learners will remain the same. I feel so fortunate!
Hello HT Families!
Hopefully everyone has found time to relax and enjoy our Maine summer days. With the first day of school (Wednesday, September 1) just around the corner, it is time to be on the lookout for those much anticipated letters. Your supply lists and classroom teacher assignments should be in your mailboxes by the end of next week! We can’t wait to see our halls filled with friendly faces!
Families are asked to complete this short survey by this coming Friday, August 6th, to help determine how many devices the school district may be eligible to receive funding for, from the federal government.
