Masked Required For All Through October 15, 2021 |
|
Dear Families:
We are emailing you today to let you know that we have identified a second COVID cluster in the building (one cluster developed earlier this week).
According to the NH DHHS School Childcare Toolkit, as well as in accordance with the SRSD 2021-2022 School Reopening Plan, we are moving Sanborn Regional High School and Sanborn Regional Middle School to a status of “Fully Masked” for the next 14 days. This means that all individuals in both schools will be required to wear masks while in the building. This measure is being put in place as an appropriate next step to contain the spread of the virus.
We will also increase our cleaning measures in the building, and will be monitoring the levels of hand sanitizer so that we have full containers for individuals to use. We will be reinforcing increased social distancing among our students and staff as well.
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 be in a “Fully Masked” status beginning on Monday, October 4, 2021. The last day of full masking will be Friday, October 15th.

PSAT and College and Career Exploration Day |

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

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
