A Note From Mrs. Yacek
Good afternoon LRES Families,

We hope that everyone enjoyed the long weekend. Please be sure that your online registration in Powerschool has been updated/completed. We want to be sure we have the most up to date and accurate contact information for families.

We use this information to contact families during the day, if needed, as well as for the LRES Tuesday updates, LRES Friday phone calls, and any information that needs to be sent out from the SAU. If you have any questions or are having difficulty with the parent portal on Powerschool, please contact Lara DePaola and she would be happy to assist you (603) 895-3117 ext. 382.

Have a great week everyone!

Don't Forget:

  • Wednesday, Oct. 14th & Thu, October 15th - LRES Picture Days
  • Friday, October 16th - In school make up day for A Day students
  • Friday, October 30th - In school make up day for A Day students
Message From The Superintendent

Our School District's Reopening Plan was updated at the October 7th School Board meeting. Click here to see the updated document. Please note that some of the more substantive changes have been highlighted in red on the opening summary pages of the plan.   
Hybrid Families

Classroom teachers have started using Google Classroom this week to post assignments and check attendance. This will be the primary source for remote students to access lessons and activities on remote days. If you do not have a device at home to access the google classroom, please let your classroom teacher know, so that they can continue to send activities home for your child to complete on remote days, until a device can be provided to you.

Materials pick up will be Friday, October 23 between 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm. 

Technology Update

Reminder: For those families needing a district-provided device, we need to be sure the following has been done first:

  1. Returning student registration needs to be completed. 
  2. The Chromebook permission slip needs to be signed and returned. 
  3. If the student has a device that has not been returned they will not get another.

If you borrowed a device (Chromebook or Ipad) last spring and did not return the device, we are asking that you please return the device to school ASAP. We need to put new labels on the devices, check for any updates, add a case, and have you sign new forms for this school year. We will return the device to you as soon as this is completed.
Quick Reminders from our Nurses' Office!

Stay safe this Halloween by following these tips from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services!

Reminder to please refrain from sending students to school with masks that have exhalation valves on them. Here’s why. Please reach out to the School Nurses’ Office if you need cloth masks for your student and we will help!

Now is still the perfect time for you and your family to receive a seasonal flu vaccine!

Thanks for helping us keep our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn,
Nurse Emily and Nurse Kelsey, School Nurses at LRES
Red Ribbon Week at LRES!

Red Ribbon Week is coming to LRES! Once again, LRES is teaming up with the Raymond Coalition for Youth and taking time to commemorate this important week. Recognizing that drug and alcohol prevention efforts MUST start early, LRES is committed to creating a week focused on healthy decisions, medication safety and goal setting! During the week we will be sharing a quick video via your student’s google classrooms as well as providing fun, optional activities for the entire family. Lastly, each child will receive a Red Ribbon Week t-shirt. The week of October 26 we will have Monday and Tuesdays students wear their Red Ribbon T-Shirts (to support solidarity in pledging to be drug free) – and on Wednesday and Thursday students are encouraged to wear their pajamas to school – (to support Following their dreams)!
