GAHS remembers...International Holocaust Remembrance Day--January 27, 2024
School will be in session today! See you soon at the regularly scheduled time. 1/26/2024 (Friday)
Please save the remote learning packets that were sent home with students yesterday for another day when they are needed.
There will be a 2 hour delay, no am pre-k and the Central Office will open at 9 am in MSAD11 today.The roads and sidewalks are all covered with ice, though crews are out treating roads. The temps are currently hovering around 30 degrees and the freezing rain is not expected to end until 7 am. If the temperatures do not warm up sufficiently it is possible that this delay could turn into a cancellation since our buses will have to be on the road before 8 am. If we need to shift the delay to a cancellation, another message will be sent out by 7:15 am.If you have to be out first thing this morning, please be safe out there.
Class of 25'
This is a reminder that according to Maine State Immunization Law, students entering their senior year of high school are required to have a 2nd dose of MCV4 Meningococcal vaccination before the start of the school year. I am hoping this reminder will allow ample to complete compliance. Please contact me if you have any questions at 582-3150 or ndiversi@msad11.org
There is an early dismissal today at 11am due to the weather.
- Tonight's 8th Grade Parent Night has been cancelled due to the weather. An alternative date will be shared soon.
- All afternoon events & activities have been cancelled.
Pat Hopkins MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools: Due to today’s storm, the high school and middle school will be dismissed at 11:00 am and the elementary schools will be dismissed at 12:00 pm and there will be no afternoon Pre-K. The Central Office will close today at 2 pm and there will be no afternoon or evening activities. As of this moment, the forecast is calling for close to 6 inches in our area with the heavy snow beginning around noon and tapering off beginning around 8 pm. The roads are supposed to be slick, so I want to get buses and cars off the roads before they get too bad. Enjoy your day and stay safe.

ATTENTION CATC STUDENTS: CATC is closed today, Wednesday January 10. CATC students may be dismissed by a parent/guardian after period 2 but will be expected to provide their own transportation home. Any CATC students who are not being dismissed for periods 3 and 4 are asked to stop in the main office after period 2 to see which study halls they have been assigned to for periods 3 and 4 today.
Wednesday, January 10, there will be a 2 hour delay and no morning Pre-Kindergarten. The change to rain will have our roads in decent condition by the time buses get on the road. The wind gusts are supposed to begin subsiding around 7 am. Should we begin seeing significant power outages, downed trees and/or serious flooding, this delay could change into a cancellation. With a 2 hour delay, our buses will be on the road around 8 am, so if the delay is changed to a cancellation, another notice will be sent out between 7 - 7:30 am. The Central Office will open at 9:30 am. Stay safe.

Good morning. This is Pat Hopkins, MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools. There will be no school today in MSAD 11. Last night I was clearly over optimistic about the possibility of getting power restored and roads cleared in order for us to have school today. Good luck with the clean up today. Please stay safe and I will provide families and staff with updates as they become available.
