Welcome Back Wildcats!

I hope you all enjoyed a relaxing and fun-filled summer. My name is Robin Croteau, and I am thrilled to be starting my first year as your principal. I have had a busy summer preparing for the 2025-2026 school year! I am excited to work alongside our dedicated staff to continue to foster this positive and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive.

This year, we will be focusing on communication within the school and the greater community. Our new website is the first step in delivering important information about our school happenings in a timely manner. Bus routes and other beginning of school year information will be posted soon!

Maintaining family-oriented LCS traditions is another top priority for us this year. We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for student success, and we encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns. We look forward to a year of learning, growth, and collaboration. Let's make it a great one!

I would like to invite all families on behalf of all of the Lempster Community School Staff to our Back-To-School BBQ on Tuesday, August 26th at 5:00 P.M. This is event is FREE and will start the school year off positively. It also provides a chance to fill out our Free and Reduced Lunch Forms. Whether your family qualifies or not, the act of filling out this form for us to submit ensures that our school will get additional funding to support our students both inside and outside the classroom. Our new staff members will also be there and are excited to meet you! I hope to see you all there!

As mentioned on our website, we have a number of chromebooks available for purchase at a very discounted cost! These devices are fine for home use but have become outdated and can no longer safely support our online learning platform needs. Anyone interested in purchasing should contact the main office!

As many of you may have heard, the state of New Hampshire has enacted a "bell to bell" cell phone ban that prohibits students from using their cell phones from the time they arrive at school until they are dismissed. Our handbook already stated that all personal electronic equipment (cellphones) may not be used on school grounds. We don't foresee this being problematic for our students! Please remember that the quickest way to get a message to your student during the school day is by calling the main office!

The state of NH requires that children attending public school are vaccinated and have a current physical exam on record in order to participate in athletics. Please see the link below for further details on state requirements and forms. Vaccination records can be shared with the school by asking the physician to mail a hard copy to us or parents /guardians can print and drop of what appears in the online portal associated with the physicians office. Please contact us if you have any questions!
