Personalization, Risk-Taking, Integrity, Discovery, and Empowerment

In an effort to help parents better understand our grading and reporting practices, we have a new informational handout for parents. Please click the button below to learn more. Have questions? You can email your child's teacher or Principal Brian M. Stack at bstack@sau17.net.

Well, this is probably for the same reasons that we don't use pay telephones and we don't have toll booths on the highway. They have become obsolete in favor of better methods and technologies.

We can all agree that grades should represent what students have learned, and to what degree they have mastered content and skills. When students submit work, it is evidence of their learning. Teachers separate this evidence into different categories based on whether the evidence is "process," "progress," or "product." Rubrics are used to be very deliberate and calibrated about what it is students are to know and be able to do, and determine when they have learned it.

As one can expect it has been very busy in the counseling office to start the year. Schedule changes will be completed soon and the students seem to be settling into their classes. 

On September 20th we kick off the Senior Year with a Virtual Senior Parents Night at 6:00pm, please check your email, the school’s website and Facebook on Monday for the Youtube link. We will discuss all of the options a student may take after high school including employment and the military in addition to the college application timeline, letters of recommendation, Scoir and the Common Application. Counselors will then begin hosting college labs to help students with applications. Students will be able to sign up for college labs in Enriching Students. In addition, counselors will be meeting individually with every senior to complete their Intent to Graduate forms.

Once again, we will host over 80 colleges and Military Representatives for our Annual College Fair on September 22nd from 10:30-12. The list of colleges represented will be on the high school website on the counseling office page. Students in grades 9-12 will be able to participate.

Speaking of which, the counseling office has a website! You will find many links to helpful resources including College Board, Scoir, ACT, Khan Academy and NCAA. Please check back frequently as we will be adding links for mental health resources, internship opportunities and scholarship information.  

Sanborn is administering the PSAT for free on October 13th to every student in grades 9-11.  We will have more information about as we get closer to the day.

As always, counselors continue to meet with all students to support them emotionally, academically and socially. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s counselor.

Dear Students,

There are a number of ways you can get involved in a club or activity at Sanborn this year. Click the button below to learn more. Not seeing a club you are interested in? Talk to Mr. Stack about how you can get a new club started!

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.

For more information about Alma, feel free to visit their website at www.getalma.com. You can also find frequently asked questions about Alma at http://hubs.ly/y03rP_0

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.
