MDIHS staff would like to thank Brooke Gariepy and the NHS students for the special pizza lunch on Friday, April 4th. It was a delicious way to end Quarter 3!

Thank you also goes to Bar Harbor Bank and Trust, Brian D. Shaw Inc, Acadia Shop Corporation and Pats Pizza for sponsoring this event.

A Vision of a Graduate defines the essential knowledge, skills, and attributes we want every student to develop by the time they graduate. It acts as a North Star for our schools—guiding curriculum, instruction, and opportunities both in and beyond the classroom—so that all students are prepared for success in life, career, and college.

In addition to these in-person events with families, staff, and community members, we’ve also been conducting in-person interviews with students to ensure their voices are at the center of this work.

To continue broadening our reach and deepening the conversation, we invite you to share your input using this form. Your voice is an important part of shaping a vision that truly reflects our collective hopes for our graduates.

Thank you for being a part of this important work!

Happy SPRING MDI !

We made it !  Spring is here and it's an exciting time for students and staff as the summer break approaches.  We are seeing lots of spring colds and allergies as we arm up, so please take care of yourselves.  I hope that as the weather gets nicer you are all able to enjoy some sunshine!

As always Incoming Freshman and upcoming juniors need an up to date physical to participate in any clubs or athletics in the fall.  We will be offering physicals here at the school June 2-4th for upcoming Juniors during the school day, please call the clinic to schedule.  As usual we will also be offering physicals in August, date to be announced.  

Prior to fall athletics starting in August it gets EXTREMELY busy here with Rank One information and the scramble to get updated physicals in for your student.  Please have your students Rank One information in by August 1.  The ladies in the office are here if you have any questions.

Finally, if your student gets a well child check that is up to date please ask the provider office to fax it to the HS (288-0692). Please follow up with the providers office to make sure it was faxed.

If your student carries an inhaler and/or has serious allergies and you have not spoken to me, please contact me as there is paperwork to be completed for the student to self carry any type of inhalers or medications. As always if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me.

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.
