​Summer Hours for the Tiger Food Pantry: Mondays 3:00-6:00 PM The Tiger Food Pantry is open to MSAD11 students and their families. We offer a variety of personal care items each week.​ Order form: https://TFPOrderForm

Good morning. Today will be a remote instructional day for all students in MSAD11. Please take care of yourselves and stay hydrated.

Seniors: If you are not already signed up to take your laptop after graduation, please plan on returning your laptops, charger and case if you have one to the Technology Office at the high school tomorrow after your last class or on Wednesday during normal school hours 730am-230pm. thanks.

Due to today’s forecasted heat and unhealthy air quality, today will be an early release day. Without air conditioning in the majority of our classrooms and with students and staff having to wear masks, remaining in our school buildings for the entire school day with room temperatures in the 90’s is not healthy. Therefore, the high school and the middle school will be dismissed today, June 7 at 11 am and the elementary schools will be dismissed today at 12 noon. While tomorrow is not supposed to be as hot, it is supposed to be very humid. Therefore, tomorrow, June 8, will be a remote instructional day for all students. Please take care of yourselves and do your best to hydrate.

2021 16th Annual REACH Showcase: https://bit.ly/3uLDU6L Welcome to our Sixteenth Annual Reach Showcase!! It has truly been a “year” that has again required all of us to modify and adapt to the world around us. As a coordinator, teacher, and/or parent of REACH students, we decided to rise to the challenge that the pandemic gave us to continue our programming and our connection with one another. Following the success of the Showcase last year we are using the virtual platform again this year. Students have worked to modify their projects to this virtual presentation style and are excited that they will have more viewers than the traditional model. The REACH staff and students love to execute our "out of the box" thinking to bring a multitude of different topics and subjects for your enjoyment. Thank you to our REACH staff and students for rising above the challenges, staying afloat, and sailing into the future. Showcase: https://bit.ly/3uLDU6L

Class of 2021 Seniors-please check your email daily between now and graduation for important announcements and updates. Thanks!

After months of working the yearbooks are finally here! Here's how to make sure you get yours: Cohorts A, B, and D: Your yearbooks are in with your advisor. Check there first! Cohort C: Your book will be available to pick up next Wednesday (time TBD, we will have this decided by the end of the week). If you want someone to pick up your book for you, you must send me an email giving permission to that person! I will not release it into their custody without an email from you first! Once you get your book, look it over and email kacollins@msad11.org if you have any questions or issues. If you have not yet ordered a yearbook and wish to do so there are some still available for $65 cash or check made out to Gardiner Yearbook. We only have a finite amount so it is first come first serve! The yearbook staff worked very hard on capturing this year. If you see one of them in the halls, feel free to tell them how much you love it!
