PSAT and College and Career Exploration Day
On October 13th, our 9th, 10th and 11th grade students will take the PSAT exam. For 11th graders, this exam can be used to qualify for national scholarships. Students who are testing will begin the school day at the regular time but will go directly to their assigned testing rooms. All students will be given a breakfast snack bag but they may bring in additional snacks and water bottles for the testing. The testing will last approximately 4 hours. Students will then go to advisory/lunch for the remainder of the day. Students may be dismissed after the testing if they bring in a note from a parent or guardian. Transportation will only be at the end of the traditional school day. Juniors who attend SST in the mid session will be given an excused absence, PM SST students may still attend SST if they choose.
Seniors will be given a choice of post secondary planning activities for the day. Seniors will need to sign up for one of the following activities when they receive the email from Mrs. Alley:
College visit with Sanborn staff to the Hampton Trade School and Great Bay Community College (limited to 30 students). The bus will leave at 9:15 and return at 1:30.
Asynchronous college tour or job shadow - students will either complete a job shadow or visit a college on their own on either the 13th or another day and then complete the reflection in the google classroom for advisory
Asynchronous supported learning or college application/search day - students will sign up for time with a teacher to receive extra help/time to get caught up in classes or online classes or to receive support with college applications or the search process.
Seniors who attend SST must attend SST unless they are choosing option 1 or 2

SRHS Statement on Latest TikTok Challenges |
|
Dear Families,
There is a national trend on social media platform, TikTok, that is encouraging students to film themselves while performing acts of violence, vandalism, sexual harassment, and other inappropriate (and possibly criminal) behavior, and then posting those acts onto their social media platform.
There are monthly themes that the students are encouraged to follow to engage in acts of vandalism, physical assault, and other inappropriate and illegal acts. Behavior associated with these challenges, also called Devious Licks, will not be tolerated in the Sanborn Regional School District. Please discuss with your child the danger and serious consequences of participating in these challenges. With your support, we can keep our students safe and learning.

Heather Woods: Heather has just started her second year of being our reading interventionist this year and is rocking it!
She has been able to team teach with the sophomore and freshman English teachers, work independently with students who need extra help, and has been assessing student scores to create programs to help them succeed.
Heather has also jumped headfirst into the new English Lit lab time and has already done amazing things with it.
Heather is a valuable member of the English PLC and Sanborn community and a major support for our students. She does all of this with a smile on her face!

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
