October 15, 2021
Dear Families:
We are emailing you today to update you on the 10.3.2021 decision to move the Sanborn Regional Middle and High School campus to “fully masked” status after two COVID clusters were identified in the building. At that time, we indicated that the last day of full masking would be Friday, October 15th.
Should your child experience any symptoms of COVID -19, please isolate them at home and seek testing for COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status. Tests can be found at major drugstore chains as well as from urgent care centers. To summarize, both SRHS and SRMS will return to a “Mask-Optional” status beginning on Saturday, October 16, 2021.
Sincerely,
The Sanborn Regional School District

Winter Sports Information |
|
Practices for Winter Sports begin next month, and it’s time to register student-athletes and begin to prepare for the coming season. More information on all high school winter sports can be found here: HS Winter Sports. Physical Exams are required of all athletes, and must be no ‘older’ than 13 months at any given time. This can be a bit confusing, so here’s an example: If the exam was completed on October 1, 2021, it would be valid through November 1 of 2022 (13 months later). Most local urgent care centers will give your child a sports / camp physical on a walk-in basis for as little as $20. Mr. Dawson also has vouchers for free exams from Convenient MD--just ask.
We have moved very successfully to an entirely new system for student-athlete registration this year, FinalForms. This has dramatically improved communication, our ability to track athlete medical information in “real time”, and allows parents to keep current on needed forms and such more efficiently than with our previous system. In order to register your student-athlete, visit Final Forms at sanborn-nh.finalforms.com
Schedules are still in the working stages, and will be released soon. If parents / guardians have questions, or need assistance with the registration process, please reach out to Athletic Director Bob Dawson at rdawson@sau17.net

Learning Recovery Day Scheduled for October 29, 2021 |
|
In order to provide students with every possible opportunity for students to demonstrate learning (or competency) in all classes, we are offering a flexible learning recovery day with a modified class schedule on October 29, 2021. On this day, we will run a series of Focused Learning Time (FLT) periods.
FLT is typically offered as part of our regular schedule each day and provides an opportunity for students to engage in personalized intervention, extension, and enrichment. Please understand that attendance at these extended FLT sessions is mandatory for all students who have been assigned by a teacher to attend. These sessions will NOT conflict with SST or NECC. Students in those programs are expected to attend those programs as usual.
Students who are not assigned to any FLT sessions by a teacher will not be required to attend these extended focused learning opportunities. Students not assigned to FLT for a class should continue their learning independently, with assignments that are in the Google Classroom for that particular class.
Your child will be notified by their teacher(s) at least one day prior to their scheduled intervention for any and all of the extended FLT sessions on a flexible day. Students who are not required to attend any FLT sessions do not need to come to school and will not have the absence count against them that day. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s grades, please contact your child’s teacher(s) by email (preferable) or by phone at (603) 642-3341.
The schedule for this day will be as follows:

Parents: We Need Your Help. |
|
Dear Parents,
As a parent of five myself, I get it. We are all busy, and we all can't always make the time to commit to help in ways that we would truly want to. Having said that, our parent groups desperately need your help. Many hands make light work but right now, due to a lack of parent volunteers, many of the services and programs these groups provide our school may go by the wayside. In the last year, some of our groups have folded all together and others are struggling to find new members. Our school is going to feel the impact.
As one example, consider the annual Saturday morning homecoming parade, an event that has always been run by our Athletic Boosters - one of the groups that folded. The school simply doesn't have the capacity to run this event on a Saturday morning the same way that the parent group did. While we plan to offer a similar Homecoming experience that is within our control on our campus during the school day, it won't be the same as the Saturday event that the Boosters ran each year. Parent volunteers are a critical part of our school community, and without them we have to make modifications to what we can provide.
What can you do?
You can start by sending a simple email to one of our parent groups to ask how you can help our school throughout the year.
Here is the contact info for our groups:
Thank you for your consideration. A little help on your part could go a long way.
Yours,
Brian M. Stack, Principal
