It is so important that students are here every day because every school day counts. Students are much more successful academically when they are in school on a consistent basis, but they are also more successful socially as it takes time to build strong relationships with their teacher and peers.

School hours are 9:00AM - 3:15PM. If your child is going to be absent, please be sure to call the main office, prior to 9:00AM to let us know. The number is 603-447-3369.

Our students are learning and practicing social skills at school. Working and playing within various groups at school teaches students valuable skills for working with others. The goal for us as school staff is to teach students empathy, kindness and respectful resolution of differences. However, problems between students do occur at school. But what is the difference between bullying, conflict and unkind behavior?

Throughout the year we will practice conflict resolution skills, when and how to speak up for ourselves and others, and when to get help from one of our trusted adults. We will work on being respectfully assertive in our learning and our social interactions. We are also working on recognizing, reporting and refusing bullying with Second Step.

*Practicing assertiveness skills at home tip: Give your child different situations that they may encounter at school, have them practice asking for what they need or want in a clear, respectful manner (“may I please have a turn on the swing?”, “STOP, I don’t like that!”, “that is my pencil, may I have it back” or “Teacher, I need help”).

Do not hesitate to call the School Counselor, Mrs. Burke if your child is struggling socially or having issues with classmates, at 447-3360 x5181 or k_burke@sau9.org

If you still need to register and have questions please be sure to reach out to me via my school email. a_hill@sau9.org

As a reminder, I am available after 2:30 if you need help and want to meet in person at school. I will also be available to help during the student led conference evening next Thursday, November 9th. The 10th is the final day. Here is the ESSC Student Guide - essc 23-24 student guide (1).pdf
