Dear Families,
Again this trimester, kindergarten through fourth grade report cards will be accessed through Power School. Please be sure you have updated your student information in Power School. To access the report card, you can use the Power School icon on the RFS website (example to the right) or use this direct link: https://www.sau26.org/rfs .
To the right is a screenshot of the caregiver view in PowerSchool. On March 29th this view will be visible for caregivers to access the report card. When you log in to PowerSchool this is the menu you will see on the far left of the page. Click on the "Student Reports'' link and you will see the current report card. If you have multiple children in the district, look at the tabs above the "Navigation" heading to locate each child’s report card.
If your child receives special education services, a hard copy of their progress report will either be mailed or put in your child's backpack on March 29th. Your child's special education teacher will contact you by email confirming how the progress reports have been sent home. If you have a preference, please email your child's special education teacher.
If you would like a hard copy printed and sent home in your student's backpack, rather than access it on Power School, please fill out this form: https://forms.office.com/r/dw3Qye2SdG prior to March 27th.
We look forward to reporting your student’s progress during the second trimester at RFS. If you have any questions or have forgotten your login information, please use the ‘forgot username/password link’ or call the RFS main office (603) 424-6215.
Thank you,
Bonnie Painchaud, Principal

Kindergarten News!
Kindergarten students put their curiosity skills to the test by working together to create leprechaun traps in their classroom. Students were challenged to use a variety of materials in their classroom like blocks, cardboard boxes, green colored paper, tape, glue & any other creative materials they could think of to create a trap. Many of the children used literacy skills to create signs for leprechauns to read to make their trap more appealing (for example: "No leprechauns allowed" & "Free Gold"). Unfortunately, no leprechauns were caught in the traps but maybe next year we can finally catch one at RFS!
Celebration of Song
Congratulations to the 4th grade chorus for an outstanding performance at the Celebration of Song. Thank you to Ms. Smith for selecting and conducting two fabulous songs to present to the Merrimack community and a special thank you to Ms. Diggins for helping each week with chorus rehearsal. Well done!
