Dear Families,
We are gathering information and input from our families as we plan to for the 2021-2022 school year. We are planning for a regular schedule with all in-person classes for our students following any guidelines that will be required this fall by NH DHHS and/or CDC and would like to gather your input as we work over the summer.
For this survey, please answer for each child in your household attending SRSD schools. You may complete the survey more than once.
The survey will close on Friday, May 14 at 11 AM.
Thank you!
With Gratitude
A heartfelt thank you to the SRMS Boosters and any family who donated items in order to make Teacher Appreciation Week a success. Your generosity made all the difference.

While you are out enjoying the great outdoors remember to protect yourself against ticks. Tick exposure can occur all year round, however they are most active from April to September. There are several tick-borne illnesses we are susceptible to. Play it safe and arm yourself against ticks. Know before you go!

Grade 8
We’ve had a great week here in 8th grade! Thank you to our Boosters’ Club for lunch and raffles prizes during Teacher Appreciation Week.
In Literacy, we are continuing to be active readers, by note taking and using post-it notes, to refine our thinking on Central Ideas and track comprehension and engagement with our texts.
In Math, we started a new topic- dealing with variables and their exponents. The students are very quick in discovering patterns! Using these patterns, they wrote their own rule for exponents. Since they found the rules on their own they have a much better grasp of the concepts. I am excited to see the results on the summative. The summative will be at the end of next week.
In Social Studies, students have begun their study of the Middle Ages. They spent this past week refining the skill of reading like a historian as they built background knowledge on the feudal system and life in Medieval Europe. Next week we will shift our focus to the Crusades.
In Science, we wrapped up our water unit by watching A Civil Action and discussing the need to be aware of what is happening to our water supply. We will start our dive into a weather unit next!
Please be aware that the week of 5/17 brings NH SAS testing. Students will be tested in reading, writing, math, and science.
Please continue to encourage independent reading at home! As always, we thank you for the support you provide at home.
Grade 7
May 9, 2021
We had a great week here in the seventh grade :)
Social Studies: This past week we focused on the physical features and climate of Latin America. Students also began researching a Latin American country. This week we will be completing this research in class and students will create a small project to showcase some of what they learned.
Science: Last week in science, students made balloon cars as the start of our physics unit. They also took apart keyboards to see how they work. This week, students will work on Physics and Engineering slides and design and build a Rube Goldberg machine at home.
ELA: This past week, students spent time reviewing and preparing for the NHSAS ELA test, with practice fiction and non-fiction texts, and assorted comprehension, vocabulary, and short response questions. This week, we will go over some test taking strategies and tools, and students will take the NHSAS ELA practice test. Students also spent time in class this week reading their chosen dystopian novels, and taking notes on protagonists’ traits, needs, conflicts, and experiences.
We appreciate your support - have a wonderful week!
