Good morning. I apologize for the late notice. Due to the current road conditions, there will be a 1 hour delay to the start of school today. The roads are very slick, so please drive safe and enjoy your day. Pat Hopkins, MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools.

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.
