Congratulations to Mrs. Ryan's 1st-grade class for winning the October challenge! With an incredible turnout, nearly 100% of her students attended school daily or had a family member check in throughout the month! To celebrate this fantastic achievement, Bobby will be visiting their classroom this week to present a special certificate. Plus, the students will have the opportunity to vote on a class prize.

For November, we will continue to focus on students being at school daily or having their absence excused by a family member calling the school. This month, the winner of the class challenge will be the class with the most improvement from October. You can support your child's class in the challenge by calling or emailing the school to excuse absences, as long as your student has missed fewer than ten days. Absences can also be excused with a doctor's note. We know how important attendance is, but it's equally important to keep your student home if they have a fever, are vomiting, or have diarrhea for 24 hours after the symptoms go away.

Ways to contact your child's teacher:

1. Email
2. Call (603)624-6314 and leave them a message
3. School Status Connect App (Coming Soon)
