Finally, the beautiful weather is here! The last day of school is less than three weeks away. 

This email contains:

  • New website
  • Free Program for Preschool Kids
  • COVID Cases
  • Internet Access Program

New Website

We’re excited to share our redesigned website. It has been designed to be “mobile first” and accessible. The calendar feature allows users to see all the school calendars at once or select specific schools. The new site should “roll over” this evening. Check it out at sau81.org.

Free Program for Preschool Kids

The New Hampshire Department of Education is offering Waterford Upstart, a free online learning program for preschool students. The program is available to children starting kindergarten this fall and in the fall of 2023. The program is free. Families can learn more and sign up at waterford.org/upstart.

COVID Cases

We have seen an uptick in reported COVID cases. We will continue to follow DHHS recommendations. As always, students and staff are welcome to wear a mask at any time.

Internet Access Program

Discounted internet access is available to families that qualify for free & reduced lunch, WIC, SNAP or Medicaid. Learn more about this program at affordableconnectivity.gov.

Have a good weekend. No school on Monday in observance of Memorial Day.
