Dear Families,
We will be returning to Tier 2 In-Person Learning on Monday, December 7, 2020. The number of new COVID infections in the schools has slowed dramatically, with no new reported cases since Tuesday, December 1, 2020.
We remain hopeful that we will be able to maintain Tier 2 instruction for the next 2 weeks, leading up to the holiday break. Please remember that there will be no school from December 21 through January 1, 2021. When we return after the New Year, on January 4th, we will have one week of remote instruction, lasting from January 4-8, 2021.
Families were asked earlier this week to complete a form letting us know if they want to keep their students in their current instructional model, or swap to a different one (e.g. move to or from remote, or stay as they are) for the second half of the school year. Based on recent news about upcoming vaccinations, families will be deciding upon a format to last through the end of April break, at which time we hope to have the option to be in person due to potential vaccinations. The form (CLICK HERE) needs to be completed for each student by 9 AM on Monday, December 7, 2020. Families that do not respond will be contacted by school staff for information. Anyone who has already submitted information, and wishes to revise their choice, may do so up until December 7, 2020 at 9 AM by simply resubmitting the form.
The District webpage, “Learning During COVID-19” has a number of resources and links for you about COVID as well as New Hampshire case numbers, including the updated guidance for quarantine from the Department of Health and Human Services. Please visit this page for more information.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Ambrose
Superintendent
