Principal's Corner
Welcome back from our February vacation. I hope everyone enjoyed the time away!
Students in Grades 3 & 4 will be taking the NH SAS Writing exam starting March 6, 2024. Due to some changes in the scoring of the newly developed writing prompts, all students grade 3 and up in New Hampshire will be required to take the writing portion of the SAS testing in March. The students will be taking the Math and Reading portions of the SAS testing in May as usual. Please reach out if you have any questions.
During the week of March 18, all students will be participating in the Dance Institute again. Please be sure students have comfortable clothing and sneakers each day for all of the dance rehearsals.
Thank you EVS PTA for celebrating our staff on Valentine's Day!

A Note from the School Nurse
When should my child stay home?
Our recommendations:
For a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. A student should be fever-free without fever-reducing medication (such as Tylenol or Motrin) for at least 24 hours before returning to school.
Vomiting and/or diarrhea. Students may return to school 24 hours after the last episode.
Suspected/untreated communicable disease (i.e. chicken pox).
Suspected/untreated bacterial infection of the eyes (i.e. conjunctivitis), nose, throat (i.e. strep throat), skin (i.e. scabies), or scalp.
Students should stay home for the first 24 hours of antibiotic therapy.
Rash with fever or behavior change, until a healthcare provider determines that these symptoms do not indicate a communicable disease.
Illness which prevents students from participating comfortably in school activities (i.e. excessive coughing or excessive fatigue).
Illness which results in greater care needs than school staff can provide without compromising the health and safety of other students.
Lunch Balances
There are a couple of different ways to pay for student breakfast/lunch balances.
- You can send money in an envelope to school with your students name on it. We will give it to the kitchen and it will get put on your child's account.
- You can set up an online account through MyMealtime and put money on their account. Check out the food services section of the school website for more information.
You will receive a paper copy of any outstanding balances. If you need help, please reach out to the office.
No Smoking on Campus
According to Section 126-K:7 of NH RSA, no person shall use any tobacco product, device, e-cigarette, or e-liquid in any public educational facility or on the grounds of any public educational facility. This includes in your car in the pick up/drop off line.
