Please take a moment to read Mrs. Moody's letter regarding LER's response to last week's incident at GAHS.
MSAD11 administrators meet with local first responders on a regular basis to discuss confidential elements of our emergency plan. The goal is to strengthen our ability to respond to future emergencies.
There have been a few inquiries from the public as to attendance at the workshop this afternoon. The pre-scheduled meeting is for administrators and local law enforcement and is not a public meeting.
Superintendent Patricia Hopkins update from Gardiner Area High School: bit.ly/3gayEbE
This is Pat Hopkins, MSAD 11 Superintendent of Schools with an update on the situation at the Gardiner Area High School. The high school has been thoroughly searched and cleared law enforcement. As a result, the lockdown has been lifted. Today’s threat was received by dispatch via a phone call concerning multiple school districts around the state. Multiple law enforcement agencies were on site supporting us and ensuring the safety of all students and staff.
Parents who wish to pick up their students to take them home for the day may do so by checking them out of the main office.
I commend students and staff for following our emergency plan and doing what they were supposed to do in these type of situations. As additional information presents itself, I will provide all of you with an update, including next steps.
Good afternoon. Today, the MSAD11 notification system will be tested. Text messages, phone calls, and emails will be sent to parent/guardians and staff in all buildings. Please contact the office in your child's school to request phone number and/or email address changes. If you do not have any children in MSAD11, call the central office at (207)582-5346 ext. 1211 to have your information removed.
All phone issues have been repaired, and the system is fully functioning. Thank you for your patience.
MSAD11 is having issues with the phone system in some of our schools, the bus garage, and the central office. If your call is not answered, please leave a detailed voicemail message.
An additional notice will be sent when the trouble has been repaired.
Just a reminder that Thursday, November 10th is an Early Release day in MSAD#11. B&G Club/MIKA students will be dismissed at 11:40, Parent Pickups will be dismissed at 11:50 and Bus students will be dismissed as close to 12:00 as possible. If there are any changes in your child's schedule, please be sure to let the office know ASAP (and make sure your student knows as well!)
Also, There is no school on Friday, November 11th in observance of Veteran's Day... THANK YOU, VETERANS!
Our Charleston Wrap fundraiser orders ARE IN!!
If you pick up your child at the end of the day, we have been working on getting your order to you during dismissal time. All others, please stop by the LER Office to pick up your order as we CANNOT send orders home with your children on the school bus.
Thank you to everyone who helped to make this fundraiser a success!
Common Sense Media, (commonsensemedia.org), is a website for parents and caregivers to get information on all forms of media to help guide families in what children may be watching or exposed to. There’s a “Parent Tips and FAQs” tab and from there you can choose to search “By Age,” “By Topic,” “By Platform,” and “What’s New.” We urge all parents and caregivers to pay attention to what your children are accessing through their phones, tablets, TV, and streaming sites like Netflix, YouTube, etc.
Tell your friends!!
