SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear Students and Families of M.S.A.D #30:

Another new and exciting school year has begun.  On behalf of the MSAD 30 Board of Directors we are pleased to welcome back our students.  Our teachers and support staff have already been working hard to get the rooms and lessons ready so that you can have an enjoyable and rewarding school year.

The Student Handbook contains important information about policies and procedures used in the district.  We hope you and your family will spend some time together reading and discussing the handbook. If you have any questions or would like more detailed information about any policies or procedures, please call your school’s office or the office of the Superintendent.

We are happy to welcome our new part-time Guidance Counselor Marie Hope. She will have an office at the Junior High and at Lee/Winn Elementary School. Our Special Education Director has an office at the Lee/Winn Elementary School, where all concerns about special education should be directed, remembering that she serves all of MSAD 30 and Union 110.  My office is located in the basement of the Ham Building where the Lee Town Offices are located.

It is very important that any problems be resolved at the level at which they occur.  If resolution is not possible at one level, then you should approach the next level.  Most problems can be solved by direct communication.  The chain-of-command should be as follows: teacher, district principal, superintendent, school board.  It is my belief that when open communication is maintained among parents, students, teachers, and administration, most problems can be solved quickly and amicably.

We are here to provide the best education possible for our students.  It takes a team made up of families, students, staff and community to be able to do this.  We hope all of you will be active members of this team.

Students – I am glad you are with us this year.  We have done our very best to provide you with a staff that is one of the best in the state.  If you work hard and accept the challenges and opportunities you are given you will reap the rewards.  Please take time to enjoy your classmates and your teachers.

Parents – Thank you for entrusting us with your most important possession.  We will do the very best we can for both your children and for you.  Please feel free to join us at school activities, volunteering, or sharing your expertise with our students.  We welcome you in our schools and District.

Sincerely,
Michael G. Lambert
Superintendent of Schools
