This evening at 5pm we will be conducting a test of the emergency alert system for MSAD44. We are rebuilding the data base from scratch to hopefully get all of the kinks worked out. Your students were given a paper form we ask you to fill out and return tomorrow please to help us identify who this is and is not working for. We are also posting the same information and a picture of the form to our websites and Facebook pages to try and make sure we are getting the word out to all families and to see if the system is working properly. If you do not receive a call, text, and email this evening, and you believe you should, please contact your school office in the morning.
Thank you for your patience through this process.

Good morning,
I wanted to give you an update, following the cancellation of school this morning, Monday, September 9, 2024 in all MSAD#44 schools. We have been working with the OCSO all morning following up on a report that came in overnight from a student/parent who saw a post on Snapchat. We were not able prior to school opening to talk to all parties involved and come to a conclusion about the credibility of the threat made so I made the decision to close schools while we continued to investigate. The reason the elementary schools were also canceled is similar to last week, if we do not have 50% district attendance, the day would not count, and without the middle and high school in session, we fall below that mark.
Unfortunately we have been in the process of changing over our Student Information Systems from Infinite Campus (IC) to the new system PowerSchool. There have been some big glitches with that transfer and unfortunately our Instant Alert system is not working properly which is making it difficult to consistently get the word out to all staff and families. We are working on this as I type and apologize for that communication break down.
We have made the decision along with the OCSO now that the threat is not seen as credible to allow for the Telstar High School home soccer games to still take place today as well as other HS practices. There will be no MS sports tonight .
The biggest take away we can ask is that if you or your student hear information about this or any situation that poses a safety risk that they tell an adult, teacher, coach in the moment and no continue to talk about rumors, post things to social media, etc. so we can investigate quickly and thoroughly to help avoid situations like this morning. Helping to have that conversation at home would be appreciated greatly.
Starting tomorrow OCSO will have deputy presence on the Telstar campus for the remainder of the week while students are present. School will resume for everyone tomorrow morning, Tuesday, September 10, 2024. This does count as our first snow day cancellation of the 2024-2025 school year.
This incident has nothing to do with our issues last week with the fire alarm system at Telstar. That was successfully fixed and inspected on Saturday.
Thank you,
Mark

Sorry for the late notice. We had a credible threat come in towards the Telstar complex that we are working on with OCSO.
My apologies. and yes, this will have to count as our first snow day for 2024-2025.

Matthew Borowski visited second graders this past Wednesday to share his knowledge of drones. He talked about flight while allowing every student to create an airplane to fly. Drones were explained in depth and everyone got to see how they worked and asked questions. Mr. Borowski also talked about career in engineering and robotics.
