THANK YOU!  The upper campus faculty and staff extend special thanks to Jack Foster and his family for the Crumbl Cookies and the Mello family for the Dunkin Donuts…delicious treats in celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week! 

 

Staff and faculty on BOTH campuses would also like to thank Mrs. Clarke for the many, many, many daily treats she shared for Teacher Appreciation week too!

 

Finally, thank you to the staff and faculty who gave up a relaxing evening at home to join Mrs. Clarke for the Teacher Fair last Wednesday night. We had several excellent candidates attend the Fair and Mrs. Clarke especially appreciated our faculty’s input during the interviews!

 

 

Summer Books Order Form - Our students have come so far this year….don’t let them experience “summer slide”! Students received a paper copy of a flyer for summer review books from the Summer Book Company and we highly recommend that parents provide this, or other practice work, for their students over the summer months. For more information on the Summer Books, please click HERE.

 

Tuition Payment Plan - As part of the re-enrollment process for Fall, parents were required to select a payment plan (yearly, bi-annual, or monthly) for their tuition in FACTS. If you need to change your payment plan to another schedule, please inform Matt McKenna prior to the first payment date of July 1. You can reach him at [email protected] or 603-882-7442, ext. 212 to make the change or get more information.

 

STEM Day and STEM Fair – We are excited to announce that our STEM Day and evening STEM Fair are back for the first time since 2020!  Our fantabulous STEM Day will be May 24. We have an exciting group of wonderful volunteer speakers from a variety of STEM fields who will be visiting virtually with our students on both campuses on the morning of May 24. In the evening, families are invited to return to both campuses from 6:00 - 7:30 PM for the STEM Fair portion of the day to view classroom projects at the lower campus and Rube Goldberg/other projects at the upper campus!
