Thank you!
Good morning – this is Pat Hopkins, MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools. It is my understanding that a robo call recently went out to some parents and staff indicating that the Gardiner Area High School is closed today and that students will be transported home.
That message did not come from MSAD 11. Gardiner Area High School is open for school today. Students are not being transported home. We apologize for the confusion that call has caused and we will be looking into how this happened.
Again GAHS is open for school today. Have a great day.

Update on Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Hello Parents/Guardians! We enjoyed our first day of school with our Cohort A students, and are looking forward to seeing our Cohort B students in the morning. We have made a few improvements in our procedures for arrival and dismissal based on our experience on Tuesday. The times and the door you drop your child off or pick-up will remain the same. We will now be using both of the bus loops to improve traffic flow.
Arrival: If you are dropping off at the Main Doors, please use the upper bus loop. Please stop at the stop sign. A staff member will walk your child across the crosswalk. Please only let your child out at the stop sign. Please do not get out of your vehicle unless you need to help with a car booster seat.
If you are dropping off at the Gym Doors, please use the lower bus loop. Please stop at the gym doors. Drop your child off only in front of the doors. Please watch for children and vehicle traffic as you exit.
Dismissal: If you are picking up at the Main Doors, please use the upper bus loop. Please stop at the stop sign and show the staff member the sign with your child’s name. A staff member will walk your child across the crosswalk to you. Please do not get out of your vehicle unless you need to help with a car booster seat.
If you are picking up at the Gym Doors, please use the lower bus loop. Please stop at the gym doors and show the staff member the sign with your child’s name. Please do not get out of your vehicle unless you need to help with a car booster seat. Please watch for children and vehicle traffic as you exit.
We hope these improvements will make things even smoother and faster for arrival and dismissal. Thank you for your cooperation! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us here at school.
