• Need a locker?
  See Mrs. Littlefield in the Main Office

• Student Absences

Parents/Guardians: Please contact the school at 288-5011 to report an absence on the ‘Attendance Line’--Option 1 It is very important that parents/guardians contact the school, using the above method, when your child is out of school.  It is vital that we know when someone is out due to illness, so that our school nurse, Tammy Underwood, can reach out to the family and ensure a safe return to school that will keep us all healthy. Approved list of excused absences according to Maine State Law. MDIHS also accepts legal appointments.

• Late to school? 

All students must check-in at the Main Office upon arrival, even if tardiness is excused.

• Need to be dismissed from school? 

Calling or sending a note in the morning allows us to give your student a pass to get out of class at the appropriate time.  If a student feels sick once they arrive, they need to be dismissed by our nurse, Tammy Underwood. Students cannot leave the building without permission from a parent/guardian AND checking out at the Main Office.

• Forgot something at home? 

A parent may drop off items at the main office, and the student will be called down between classes. 

• Extracurricular Information? 

All Extracurricular Information can be found on the Athletics tab on our homepage, www.mdihs.net.  Cancellations and changes will be posted by 1pm, or as soon as possible. Want to find out if school is canceled or delayed? Call 288-5011, ext 7, or check our webpage, www.mdihs.net.

• Student  Absence for 3 days or more of school

It is important to notify the school when your student is going to miss 3 days or more of school. The Extended Absence Form should be completed ahead of time by your student and their teachers. Completed forms are turned in to Mr. Braun’s office.

Happy May MDI,

It's hard to believe we are winding down and summer break is right around the corner.  As we finish up the year a couple of reminders:

All incoming Freshman and juniors will need a recent physical as well as all those students who plan to participate in a fall sport. Please fill out History portion of this form and bring it the day of your student's physical.  If it is not filled out, we will not be able to complete your physical. Remember that sports begin August 12 and in order to participate you MUST have a current physical.  As usual we will be offering free physicals here at the high school August 5-8 from 9a-3p. To make an appointment please call the main office here at the high school. If your student is going to see their provider make your appointments now as the clinics can get busy and it can be difficult to get an appointment in a timely manner.  Convenient MD in Ellsworth offers sports physicals for 25.00, if you are unable to pay the 25.00 fee please reach out to me.  September is a busy time with sports as well as getting back in the swing of things so please request that your student's updated physical is faxed to me here at the high school at your appointment as they do NOT automatically fax it. The fax number is: 207.288.0692  

We remain a shellfish free campus so please refrain from bringing seafood on campus.

I will be checking my email all summer so if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to  reach out and I will get right back to you.  

Enjoy some well deserved sunshine, laughter and relaxation during this upcoming summer!

Best
