Notes from Mrs. Hussey
Monday November 11, 2024
Dear Dr. Crisp Families,
Happy Veteran's Day and Thank you to those whom have served our country.
We are excited to welcome families into school this Wednesday for our last night of Parent/Teacher Conferences. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have not scheduled one. It is really important to share how your child is progressing in school and build a strong Home/School relationship.
Colleen Hussey, Principal
21 Century Afterschool
Submit Student Enrollment Application HERE!
Please make sure to select Dr. Crisp Elementary School when registering.
This year, we have made some important updates to our registration process to better serve our community and meet the requirements set by our federal grant from the New Hampshire Department of Education. Please take a moment to review these key changes:
Enrollment Process: Enrollment will be on a first-come, first-served basis, while also reserving space for students identified by school leadership, teachers, and student support teams as most in need of support. Please note that submitting an enrollment application does not guarantee acceptance into the program. We will notify families of their enrollment status as soon as possible.
Returning Students: We value the continuity of education for our students. To ensure that returning students have the opportunity to continue their learning journey with us, we have allocated specific spots for them in the upcoming year.
Referred Students: In accordance with our federal grant guidelines, we will also be reserving registration spots for students who are referred to our program. This practice is similar to the approach we took during our summer Power Scholars program and is essential for maintaining the support provided by our federal funding.
Non-program Days: The 21st Century program will no longer offer complimentary memberships for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua as an alternative after-school option. While 21st Century will remain closed on non-school days such as Early Release, holidays, and school vacation days, we encourage you to reach out to youth-serving organizations like the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua, Girls Inc., the Police Athletic League, the Salvation Army or the YMCA of Greater Nashua to inquire about your child’s ability to attend their programs on days that 21st Century is not available. Please note that these organizations may have separate costs for membership to their programs. Please be sure to familiarize yourselves with our program calendar so that you are aware of days that the 21st Century program will not be offered.
We understand that these changes may affect the registration process for some of our families. However, these adjustments are necessary to comply with the requirements that allow us to continue offering the high-quality programming you’ve come to expect from us.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we implement these new registration practices. Should you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to our program office.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to another successful year together!
