It was wonderful to see everyone at our first Back to School Ice Cream Social and at the Kindergarten Kick Off. Apologies for the bad sound quality in the cafeteria. We are still working on getting a sound system installed.

I have included lots of information below on drop off and pick up.

If you have any questions, feel free to call the office or send us an email at hssoffice@sau88.net.

See you tomorrow.

Leah Wheelan, Principal

Your children can arrive anytime after 7:30 and before 8:00 and they will head to the playground. If they arrive after 8:00, you will bring them in the front door and sign them in on the tardy sheet. We will bring them to their classroom.

If you are new to school, please call Paula Harthan at transportation to set up your bus stop. Her number is 603 298-0832.

The bus routes are on the district website and linked here. Please know that the buses tend to run late for the first week or so as they sort out the routes and timing.

If you are coming by car, we have a new express drop off loop. It is in blue on the map below. It will be open at 7:25. Use this express loop if your child is able to exit the car quickly. We ask that children only get out on the driver's side as that will be away from traffic.

If you need more time for drop off, please enter the parking lot at the yellow arrow, park, and walk your child across the road to the front of the school where we will direct them around the new classrooms and into the playground. Only students and staff are allowed on the playground in the morning. Thank you.

The blue indicates the Express Drop Off Loop.

The yellow arrows indicate where to enter to park.

The green arrows indicate the morning bus route.

If your children take the bus home, you can see their arrival time on the bus route schedule. Again, they often run late on the first few days of school.

If you are picking up your child by car, please enter the V, park, and then join either the K-1 line or the 2nd - 4th grade line. You will 'announce' your arrival on the PikMyKid application. When the staff member checks with you, they will activate your child on the app and the teacher will send your child to the front door where we will bring them out to you.

Please set up your child's default method for dismissal in PikMyKid. We just received the bus route lists and are loading them in PikMyKid right now. They will be done by 5:00. If you do not see the bus number available that you need, email the office at HSSoffice@sau88.net and we will add it.

We are about to finalize a date for our open house. It will be in about 4 weeks. This is an opportunity for you to come with your family members and visit all of the classrooms and see what your child has been doing at school. More details will follow.
