NEW! Hot Lunch Volunteer Thank You - We can never thank our Hot Lunch volunteers enough! Between the two campuses, we served 33,000 lunches this year! Incredible! We could not do it without the dedication, hard work, and good humor of all of our Hot Lunch volunteers on both campuses. Thank you ALL from the bottom of our hearts (and full stomachs!)!!
Special Hot Lunch Shout Out - We’d like to extend a special thanks to Hot Lunch volunteer extraordinaire Nadra Bell for her incredible efforts at the upper campus. On many occasions, Nadra has been the only volunteer scheduled for lunch duty (and often several times a week!), and she has handled it with great enthusiasm, kindness, and professionalism. Nadra’s son, Duggan, is graduating next week…and we will miss them both VERY much!
NEW! Popcorn Thank You - Super duper thank you to all of our popcorn poppers for the year! Volunteers popped a grand total 8,500+ bags of popcorn between the two campuses…and every one was greatly appreciated by the students and staff! Thank you for making our Fridays extra special (and delicious)!
NEW! Field Day Thank You - Soooooo many wonderful volunteers at our lower campus Field Day last week! Thank you for making the day extra special for our students! And thank you to Mrs. Beauregard for her incredible organizational skills!
NEW! BBQ Thank You - Many thanks to everyone who came out and had a great time at the BBQ! Special thanks to those who brought desserts and to our faculty and staff and who manned the dessert table!
NEW! Tarp Thank You - And thank you to those who dropped everything to help out with our rescheduled tarping of the gym on Friday. Although we didn’t need to use it in the end, it was fabulous knowing that we had that option if the skies opened up!
NEW! Summer Office Hours - We’ll be here if you need us this summer! The school offices on both campuses will be open from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Monday through Thursday! You can also call or email any of the school admin team on either campus and we’ll get back to you as promptly as possible!
NEW! First Tuition Payment Reminder - Please remember that the first tuition payment for the 2025-2026 school year will be automatically charged during the month of July based on the tuition payment schedule you selected when enrolling your child. After July 1, all families are responsible for tuition charges as outlined in the Tuition Agreement included in the enrollment packet.

All financial questions can be directed to Business Manager Shauna Hein at [email protected] or 603-882-7442, ext. 212.
NEW! Used Uniform Closets - Have your kids outgrown their uniforms? Don’t forget that we have a used uniform closet at each campus! Donations of all outgrown uniform pieces are accepted and parents are also welcome to make an appointment to come in over the summer to look for uniform pieces to fit their growing children. Donations can be sent into the front desk at the lower campus or to Mrs. Coker at the upper campus at any time. Please contact Mrs. Langengeld at [email protected] for the lower campus or Mrs. Coker at [email protected] for the upper campus to arrange a time to come “shopping” in the closets!
