Meet The Teacher Event: Monday, September 13, 2021 |
|
Dear Sanborn Community,
Congratulations, we made it through our first week of the 2021-2022 school year! I was so excited to see so many students and staff excited for the promise of the new year.
At our opening ceremony for freshman, I challenged our incoming ninth graders to do two things for me: First, I asked them to perform one random act of kindness this week because, as I explained to them, it would spur future acts of kindness to happen with and for others over time. Second, I challenged the ninth graders to think about one way they could take a risk this year - and by risk, I don't mean put themselves in an unsafe situation. I challenged them to try something new that may be out of their comfort zone, either in the classroom or outside of school. Taking risks is a great way to expand one's horizons.
As I reflect on our first week and look to the weeks ahead, there are a few things that I want everyone to be aware of:
- School starts at 7:20AM. Students, please make sure you are not late. If you drive to school and you are habitually late, we have a number of students on the wait list who were not able to get a parking spot and we reserve the right to reassign your spot to someone on the wait list!
- Students, remember that in the cafeteria we are asking that no more than 4 students be seated at a table. This allows us to maintain social distancing.
- Parents and students, you are all invited to our "Meet the Teacher" event on September 13 from 3:30-6:00PM. More information is above.
- Please be patient with our morning drop-off process. We know there has been some traffic delays. As people learn the system better, this will improve. We will also look at some changes we can make on our end to streamline things further.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend.
Yours,
-Brian M. Stack, Principal

These forms must be completed digitally using your Alma Parent Portal account. You can click here ( https://srhs.getalma.com/) to access Alma.
If you do not remember your password for Alma, you can click on “forgot password” and it will be reset. Your username follows the structure firstname.lastname.

Important Information About Alma For Families |
|
New Year, New Tools
With the start of a new school year there are always exciting changes. Students will be meeting new teachers, making new friends and – most importantly – learning new things!
In addition to these exciting new experiences, there are some changes happening behind the scenes at Sanborn Regional School District. This year we are expanding the use of Alma to streamline and better manage school, classroom and student information.
Alma, is a secure, easy-to-use online system that brings important school information and tools together in one place. We expect this to save school leaders and teachers time, and make it easier to get a complete view of what’s happening with each student’s learning. Additionally, Alma is more affordable than other school management systems, so we can free up more of our budget for other school needs.
In addition to educator tools, Alma offers a parent and student portal to help families stay informed and on track with student learning. The portal provides access to:
• School Calendar
• Staff Directory
• Class Rosters
• Attendance History
• Assignments
• Grades
You can also email teachers and school staff through Alma, so you never have to search for their contact information. If you have more than one child enrolled at our school, you will be able to all of their information with a single login.
You can also find a button to access Alma on our web site at https://srhs.getalma.com/. If you need information on or help with setting up your account to log in to the portal, please contact Deirdre Cotter at dcotter@sau17.net or (603) 642-3600.

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

National Suicide Prevention Week is September 5–11! |
|
People have become increasingly comfortable talking about their mental health, particularly this past year. But the topic of suicide – when it comes up – is still scary for many people to think about. -American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
Show you care, and trust your gut – if you are worried about someone you know, take action and get help. Contact the Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (TALK) or text HOME to 741741, 24/7. Asking family or friends if they are having thoughts of suicide will not “give them an idea,” and may be just what they need to get help.
If you are in need of mental health or substance use prevention resources, you can reach us through our website sorocknh.org or on social media @sorocknh or via email sorocknhcc@gmail.com.
