In case you get a phone call as a local business soliciting your participation in this project, this is something that Gail Wight and John Eliot have approved. Your option to participate or not is completely up to you, but we wanted you to know this is not a scam and something that Telstar High School is trying for 2025-2026 starting with the fall sports schedules. Thank you!
Sorry, change of plans, Thursday, April 3, 2025, 7:46am. My apologies for changing, but road conditions are getting worse vs better so we will now have a SNOW DAY today instead of a 2hr delay.
Thank you.
2 hr delay today for all MSAD#44 schools, Thursday, April 3, 2025
Region 9 is remote today.
There will be a 1hr delay today for all MSAD#44 schools, Monday, March 31, 2025 due to back and side road conditions to make sure everyone can get to school safely.
Emily Read Daniels, author and creator of The Regulated Classroom (TRC), provided a full day training to staff K-12 at Sunday River today. Throughout the school year TRC trainers and facilitators taught staff the basics of felt safety, polyvagal theory, and the four core practices: connectors, activators, settlers, and affirmations. Emily provided additional information as she demonstrated these core practices and helped the staff learn how to track body state and recruit social engagement to enhance student (and self) regulation. As you can see, there were a lot of smiles (and some tears), movement, and engagement. At the end of the session each staff member shared a "glimmer" or a positive cue of safety from the day.
Thank you to Emily for making the trip to MSAD 44 and to Sunday River for providing the space, refreshments, snacks, and lunch.
Good morning, we are going to have an early dismissal at 11:30am today, Monday, March 24, 2025 in MSAD#44 due to the anticipated snow this afternoon before road conditions deteriorate.
Congratulations to our new staff and their mentors for their hard work and dedication this year. A big thank you to the support from UMF and Mr. Dan Hart as well.

From Mrs. Meader: My first grade class has been following along on the Wreaths Actoss America adventure. 🇺🇸 My students were so passionate and serious about the WAA mission, that they were able to sponsor 22 wreaths with the help of our superintendent, school staff, and their generous parents. Yesterday was our culmination to this great service project. We got to FaceTime with my parents as the wreaths were placed at the Pentagon. This was truly an emotional and impactful journey for all of my littles. Thank you to Perry Mattson and Pearl, Mark Kenney, Tanya Arsenault, Wreaths Across America - Official Page and all of the supportive parents of students in my class.
Remember *Honor*Teach
We are all very proud of Mrs. Meader, her students, and their families for participating in this project!
Join us for SAD #44 day at the Maine Mariners!
