SRHS PTO Launches its Back to School "Un-Fundraiser"
|
|
We are asking for your support for our 2019 back to school Un-Fundraiser. Simply put, an Un-Fundraiser is a way to donate money without having to sell or buy anything. Isn’t that the best?? 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes directly to the SRHS PTO, and then it goes right to our kids, which is the best place to put it! Where does this money go you might ask?
Each year, our PTO supports the following kinds of activities:
• Starter cash for the in-coming freshmen student activities account
• Classroom grants, up to $250 per teacher, to fund innovative programming
• Scholarships to Sanborn Seniors
• Funds to support class activities such as the Senior Cruise in Boston.
• Senior Success Day
• Teachers’ meals for the open houses & Teacher Appreciation Week
• Strategies for College Presentation for parents
|
|
We hope you were able to appreciate the sarcasm and humor in this form of request and we thank you for your time and monetary donation.

The counseling program is continuously sending out information ranging on a variety of topics, such as important events, academic information, and testing details in addition to mental health resources, open houses at various trade schools and colleges, and scholarship information. This information is sent through email and Naviance, resources are also available on the new counseling website and updates will be sent through social media. Be sure to follow our school on Twitter or Facebook! Also, please be sure your most update-to-date email is on file at SRHS so you don't miss out on information; if you are not getting emails, please contact the counseling office.

Emergency Health/Contact Information
All students are required to have an Emergency Contact form on file in the health office for the school year. This information is very important in the event your child has a medical emergency at school and requires advanced medical treatment. Please take the time to accurately fill out the form and list any medical conditions your child may have, this type of information is critical for emergency medical teams to provide safe treatment.
CLICK HERE to complete the form (the Back to School Form).
Medication at School
Sanborn has a no tolerance drug policy (please review it with your child in the student handbook). Any medication (prescription or over the counter) must be administered through the health office. Prescription medication must have a signed medication form filled out by your physician. Over the counter medication must have a signed parental form on file? The medication forms can be located on the district web page under the Health Services link under Medication Information.
Health Concerns
Students with health conditions that will require school day intervention should meet with the school nurse prior to the start of school to make appropriate plans. Medical care plans will be initiated to provide for safety and accommodate academic and sport schedules.
Immunizations
All students must meet the NH immunization requirements to attend school. Check your child’s records to make sure he/she is current with the Tdap vaccination (Tetanus). Many high school students are due for a booster of this vaccination.
Sports Physicals
Students playing sports need to have a current (within the year) physical on file in the health office to participate in the athletic program. While playing sports if a student has an injury they must be cleared by their physician to return to play and provide documentation of this to the health office. If your child has a medical issue that could impact them while participating in sports please make sure the health office and coaches are aware of this issue. We expect any medical supplies your child may need while playing sports you will provide a supply for the coaches to keep with their emergency equipment bags.
Fuel for Learning
It is important your child starts the day off with breakfast. Having the necessary energy to fuel the brain is critical for your child’s academic success. Eating a healthy breakfast and lunch gives them the nutritional support to succeed.
Health Office
The health office is open 7:00 a.m.-2:20 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please contact Karen Scanlon R.N. school nurse at 603-642-3064 with questions or concerns.

Dress For Success
A Message From Mr. Stack
|
|
Are you getting as frustrated as I am that stores are pushing the back to school sales earlier and earlier into the summer? Since I know that some of you may be starting to take advantage of back to school clothing sales in the coming weeks, I want to draw your attention to our school's philosophy and beliefs around dress code. This logic applies to both boys and girls alike!
DRESS FOR SUCCESS
Students at Sanborn Regional High School are expected to dress in an appropriate manner during the school day. We use the expression, "Dress for Success!"
Here are some things that students should keep in mind when shopping for new school clothes:
DRESS FOR SAFETY: Students are expected to follow all school rules governing safety in specialized programs that may require the wearing of protective clothing, safety glasses, proper foot protection, or other similar requirements. This includes areas such as the shop, the gym, and other specialized programs.
DRESS WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY: Through their choice of dress, students must display respect for themselves, their school, and their community. The wearing of clothing which is unduly revealing or attire which detracts in any way from the educational mission of the school is unacceptable.
AVOID THIS KIND OF DRESS: Clothing that promotes drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or violence is unacceptable. Clothing should not be offensive, nor should it include vulgar pictures or words.
HATS ARE OK: The wearing of hats is permitted only in the hallways, cafeteria, and other non-instructional spaces in the school. They are not permitted in classrooms.
Our staff reserves the right to ask students to change any attire that does not meet our "Dress for Success" requirements. We also reserve the right to send home any student who is dressed in an unduly offensive or inappropriate manner which disrupts the educational process.
Thank you for taking these points into consideration as you start thinking about your attire for the new school year!

An Update From Southern Rockingham Coalition for Youth (SoROCK)
|
SoRock and Sanborn Youth in Action have had a busy spring! On May 1st we were at the Statehouse in Concord to Receive the Youth Mental Health Matters award from NH First Lady Valerie Sununu for dedication and service to children in NH. On May 8th we met with six different police departments and three school districts to discuss strategies to reduce underage drinking and party hosting together. On My 10th some of our young people met with two of our NH senators and our local Public Health Networks to advise them on current trends and youth substance use prevention strategies. Their input was greatly valued and requested to continue.
This past Friday May 17th we held our annual Project Stand By Me for 5th grade students and their parents from Newton, Kingston & Fremont. Parents spend the morning in the HS auditorium with us learning about brain development, risk and protective factors, communication skills and prevention strategies while the kids are at Camp Lincoln doing blended team building actives. Parents joined their students for lunch and fun following their session.
Upcoming Events
5/21 – Former Chief Justice John Broderick will be at Ellis School in Fremont from 3:30-4:30 to discuss mental health.

PTO Clothing & Shoe Donation Bins
|
When you drop your unwanted clothing and shoes off in these bins, the SRHS PTO gets paid based on the weight of the clothing! This is a really easy way to help our school. All PTO proceeds go directly back to programming and scholarships that directly benefit our students.
NOTE: Shoes must go in a separate bin.
Did you know? From April of 2015 - May 2017, this fundraiser has helped us raise nearly $2400.00 for the PTO. Help us double that number by sharing this opportunity with your friends, your family, and your neighbors!
