Good afternoon. I am contacting you to update you on the status of this morning’s threat against Gardiner Area High School. The person who made the threat has been identified and has been arrested for terrorizing. Thank you to all of the law enforcement officers who investigated this threat and swiftly took action to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
Since there is no on-going threat, the Gardiner Area High School is reopened. Staff may re-enter the building and athletic practices and events may resume.
I hope you all have a very happy holiday season.
Pat Hopkins, MSAD11 Superintendent of Schools
Good morning, this is Pat Hopkins, MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools. Out of an abundance of caution the Gardiner Area High School only will be closed today due to a threat against the school. The rest of the schools in MSAD 11 will remain open. My apologies for the short notice. High school students who are currently on the bus will be able to ride their bus back home.
BusRight is almost here!
If you are the parent of a bus rider, you will soon be able to create an account and view your student’s bus route, know the real-time ETA to their bus stop, set up notifications to receive alerts, and more!
We’re working hard behind the scenes to make sure our routes, stops, and contact information are accurate. On January 2nd, our drivers will begin testing the system to make sure the launch goes smoothly. As soon as BusRight is ready to roll out to the community, we’ll send you an email that walks you through how to create an account.
Please be sure that your student’s school has a valid email address on file for you!

Good morning! Students should work on their remote learning day packets today and return them to school tomorrow. We will use packets to take attendance, so returned packets will count as a school day for students who work on the packets and return them to teachers tomorrow. If you have any questions about the material in learning packets, teachers are available for office hours via email this morning from 8:00-9:00 a.m.
Good morning again. Unfortunately, the temperature is still too low to make it safe to drive or walk to school. The roads and walkways are very icy, and because it’s so cold, the salt isn’t melting the ice. Because of this, today will be a remote learning day in MSAD11. Your child’s teacher and principal have already shared details about remote learning. If you have any questions, please email your child’s teacher or principal. The Central Office will open at noon today.
There will be a 2 hour delay to the start of school in MSAD11 today, no AM pre-k, and the Central Office will open at 9 am. The roads are very icy this morning. If road conditions do not improve by 7:00 am, it will be necessary to make today a remote day. Should that happen, you will receive another message around 7:15 am. Thank you, drive safe and enjoy your day.

Hello HT families!!
The HT PTG is excited to let you know that MAC’s popcorn orders are arriving this week! The PTG elves will be sorting and packing up orders at the school on Thursday evening from 5-7 and if that time frame works for you to pick up your order we will be in the lobby outside the gym (enter through the gym/cafeteria doors).
Not to worry though if this day/time does not work for you- we will set another evening next week that we can be available for pick ups. If your student/child only has a few bags in their order we will send them home from school with them on Friday. If you have any concerns or questions please email us at helenathompsonpta@gmail.com.
Thank you all for your continued support and we hope you enjoy your popcorn!

Library fun and outdoor discovery with Ms. McLeod!
The GAHS Civil Rights Team visited second grade and gave an interactive presentation about kindness and how to stand up for classmates who might be experiencing unkindness. The students played games and learned about the power they have to lift each other up. A HUGE thank you to this stellar group of high school students for generously sharing their energy and time creating and delivering such an engaging, thought-provoking, and action-oriented presentation.

I want to inform you that the community safety concern that prompted the lock-in procedures at all our schools has been fully resolved. As a result, the lock-in has been lifted, and all schools have returned to their regular schedules. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time, as the safety of our school community remains our highest priority. Enjoy the remainder of your day.
