Snow
We hear there is going to be more snow arriving. We are happy to say that students got outside this week. The children love to play in the snow. Unfortunately, the snow bank is so high we need to keep them off it for safety reasons. Our last day of school right now is scheduled for Wednesday, June 17th.
We wish you all a fantastic weekend filled with love and laughter!

Smarter Balanced Assessments
This spring, students in grades 3 - 8 and grade 11 will be taking new state tests in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The tests, known as Smarter Balanced, replace the NECAP tests. Smarter Balanced will be used by 20 states including New Hampshire. This will allow us to compare our students' performance to other high performing school districts across the country. Students will take these tests on the computer over several days. In the coming weeks, we will be sending more detailed information about Smarter Balanced, how it works, and what your child can expect.
Fourth Grade Visit to State House
Today, the fourth graders visited the State House. The students had nervous smiles on their faces as they boarded the school buses. We were able to have some excited conversations with some of the fourth graders before they left. They were all hoping they would meet Governor Hassan. When the students arrive back they will be having lunch and handing out their Valentine's.
Some of our students were lucky enough to meet Gov. Hassan!!
