Dear Families,
Hello, we hope as the year winds down you are still hanging in there during remote learning. More teachers have come in during this week to pack up their belonging for the end of the year. The hallways are starting to look bare so that means summer is around the corner.
The end of the school year we usually have a Kindergarten graduation and a Fourth grade clap out. We are working on planning alternative events for these two grade levels. We also will be soon sending out end of the year documentation on chromebook drop off and pick up of student school supplies.
As you enjoy this long weekend please moment to remember all the those who gave their lives for our country.
Take Care,
Mrs. Daley, Principal
Mr. Mitchell, Assistant Principal

Quarter 4 Report Cards
As a reminder… Governor Sununu recommended schools report a Pass/Fail reporting system. Bedford does not use letter grades at the elementary schools, but we will make the adjustments described below.
Based on participation in the subjects of reading and mathematics, please expect your child's fourth-quarter progress to be either "Meeting District Expectations" or "Meeting Some District Expectations.” For those rare instances when students did not participate in remote learning, they may receive “Not Meeting District Expectations.” This information will be provided in the comment section of the report card. Since the entire fourth quarter instruction has been under the conditions of Remote Learning, it is more difficult to provide a four-point reporting system as we had in the first three quarters of the year. Your child will also have a comment section from the teacher providing more detail.
Integrated Arts will also provide progress on the report card (grades 3 & 4) with "Good" and "Satisfactory" in the area of participation. For those rare instances when students did not participate in remote learning, they may receive “Needs Improvement.”
Playground Access
I know that it is tempting as the weather continues to get nicer, but in staying in compliance with the Town of Bedford and given the guidance from the CDC and DHHS about stopping the transmission of the COVID-19 virus, we are asking that students DO NOT come to our playgrounds.
A Message Regarding Camp Witzel
Jane O'Brien, Recreation Manager said this is an incredible difficult decision to make, as Camp Witzel is the type of community activity that is important to the recreation department. However, in consideration of the safety of all participants (staff/campers), we are unable to properly support this summer program for the 2020 season due to the circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic and the news we received from the Bedford School District about the unavailability to use the school facility to host the program as it has in past years. Families who have already registered and submitted payment will be given a full refund.
We thank you for being a valued member of our recreation family. It may be hard to see it now, but there's a bright future ahead. We will get there-together.
Miss Jane
