Dear LMS Families,


We had another great week at LMS. Check out today's sunrise above LMS!


Next week, we will be having a spirit week with dress-up days. See flyer below. We look forward to many students participating.


We will be conducting STAR testing for all students on Thursday, February 11th and Friday, February 12th. These assessments in math and reading are simply short assessments that help teachers benchmark and see growth in students. Remote students will participate too in their respective math and language arts classes. Teacher teams use this data to make instructional decisions and adjustments. We will get these assessment scores out to you soon afterwards and you will be able to see how your child did earlier in the year compared to now.


We are grateful for the PTO who put together wonderful experiences for students over February break that we know our students will enjoy. Details from the PTO are below. We invite all to participate!


The students were excited about today's snow. We hope more will continue to come since the LMS groundhog was mistaken with its forecast.


Have a wonderful Super Bowl weekend!


Regards,

John P. D'Entremont, Principal

Latest Update by Nancy Pageau

February is recognized as American Heart Month when all people can focus on their cardiovascular health. How do we start to do this? We can eat healthier, exercise more and reduce stress. We can encourage our students to participate in caring for themselves especially during this stressful year. Kids love to help in the kitchen. Have them help select healthy recipes and prepare them as a family. Spend time outdoors in nature (yes, even when it’s cold and snowy) which promotes exercise and stress reduction. Fresh air can help us focus better! The more that students are aware of how their heart health affects their total wellbeing, the more they can be active participants in a lifetime of staying healthy.


Please let us know if you need help with cold weather items. It seems many students are not coming to school prepared to be outside.


Thank you for continuing to complete the morning health screenings for your child. It allows for quicker entry into the building on these cold mornings.


Vaccines


NH DHHS has shared their vaccine allocation plan (always subject to change): https://www.dhhs.nh.gov/dphs/cdcs/covid19/documents/covid19-vaccine-allocation-plan-summary.pdf


Quarantine Changes Related to COVID-19 Vaccination (1/11/21)


The following people do NOT need to quarantine after an unprotected exposure to a person with COVID-19, or travel outside of new England:

  1. A person who is 14 days beyond the second dose of their COVID-19 vaccine (ie 14 days after full vaccination)

  2. A person who is within 90 days of a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection diagnosed by PCR or antigen testing.

**People with prior infection should be vaccinated to provide the highest level of protection against COVID-19.


Regardless of prior infection or vaccination status, any person with new or unexplained symptoms of COVID-19 still needs to isolate, speak with their PCP and be evaluated for COVID-19 testing.


Can I receive the Covid-19 vaccine on the same day as my flu shot?

The Covid-19 vaccine should be given alone and at least 14 days after you receive another vaccine(s). This is to limit any potential interaction between the two vaccines that may interfere with the vaccine’s effectiveness. The flu vaccine is encouraged for people who have not already received their annual flu vaccine.Timing of the flu vaccine and Covid-19 vaccine should be discussed with your primary care provider.


NH now giving Covid testing priority to students, teachers, school staff. Hospitals and outpatient practices across the state will now give appointments within 24 hours to school-community members who have Covid symptoms. In the Upper Valley, APD in Lebanon and Keady Family Practice in Claremont are participating in the effort.


I included a helpful visual below for isolation and quarantine timelines for household members when there is a positive person in your household.

News from the School Counselors News from the School Counselors

Thank you LMS School Counselors

Today is the last day of National School Counselors Week. To celebrate we thought it would be fun to take a moment to highlight our LMS School Counselors and as well as our School Psychologist and Student Assistance Counselor. But first, a fun fact...


Guidance Counselor or School Counselor?

Do you know the difference between a Guidance Counselor and School Counselor? Back in the old days, when more students began going to college after high school, some teachers moved into the role of “guidance counselor”. Their main job was to literally “guide” high school students as they transitioned from high school to college, training, or the world of work. There was no special training for this position. Over time, the position evolved and the job became more complex. There was more emphasis on providing support for student mental health, as well as social and emotional learning, and on helping students achieve their potential. It became mandatory for counselors to have advanced training and earn a Master's degree. Somewhere around the late 1980’s the title changed to School Counselor to better represent the broader scope of their work. That’s how it happened!


Now to introduce our School Counselors!


Mrs. Allard is our 7th and 8th grade School Counselor. She became a School Counselor because she always wanted to work with kids. After college, she wasn’t totally sure what direction her career would take, but working as a paraeducator at a high school in Boston helped her decide to become a School Counselor. As well, her middle school counselor had had a big impact on her and made her want to help other kids like herself. So she returned to school to earn her Master’s in School Counseling. Along the way she also decided to focus on middle level education because it's such a unique age where kids grow and experience so much change. She loves being a part of her students development as they begin to figure out who they are. In her free time she loves to walk her dog, attend her kids sporting events, and hang out with her friends and family.


Ms. Stockwell is our 5th and 6th grade School Counselor. Believe it or not, this is her 30th year as a school counselor. She earned her Master’s in School Counseling from the University of New Hampshire and her first school counseling job was at the Rochester School, a small K-12 school of just 125 students located in Rochester, VT. She continued working in Vermont for over 20 years at several different schools and at all grade levels. In 2015 she came to LMS and LOVES it! Working with 5th and 6th students to help them reach their full potential is rewarding and FUN. In her free time Ms. Stockwell loves the outdoors and travel, hiking, skiing, yoga, and crafts, as well as taking care of her chickens, dogs and cat, and just spending time with her friends and family.


Mr. Coates is our School Psychologist, a position that is a bit different than a School Counselor. Mr. Coates tests students who may have a possible learning difference. He helps the student and teachers better understand those differences and what the student will need to learn and make the most of their education. Mr.Coates attended California State University at Chico to earn his Masters degree in School Psychology. In the beginning, he worked in a hospital setting, then at a school for students on the Autism spectrum. He also spent a year working at Yosemite National Park-just because that was where he wanted to be. Mr.Coates really enjoys testing kids to find out what makes them unique. Outside of school he loves to fish, camp, cook and “build stuff”. He has a massive movie collection and so movie and pizza night is a long-standing tradition in his family. He has four adult children spread all over the world whom he is immensely proud of.


Ms.VanZandt is our Student Assistance Program counselor (SAP). She works with students and families both in school and out of school. She considers herself a good listener, and enjoys coaching students and helping them work through difficult things. She has had many different roles in the Lebanon School District, working here since 2003. She has worked at LHS and LMS as a School Counselor but has always been an SAP counselor at heart. She is intrigued by what makes us humans do the things we do and is passionate about the middle school years and how it shapes us in becoming adults. She learns from kids every day. In her free time, she loves to build things and plant things and has two green houses.

OLD NEWS, FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & COVID HOTLINES by Nurse Pageau

Quarantine and Exposure/Travel Guidance


NH DHHS has updated quarantine guidelines in relation to exposure to COVID and travel. The following guidelines are specific to NH. The CDC, VT, and other state guidelines are different from NH. We will be following these NH guidelines going forward. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions related to this information (npageau@sau88.net).


  • A person who is close contact to another person infectious with COVID-19 must stay home and away from public locations for 10 days starting from the last day of exposure to the infectious person.
  • A person who has traveled outside of New England must stay home and away from public locations for 10 days starting from the last day of travel outside of New England. An exception exists for travel quarantine only: one can “test out” of the 10 day travel quarantine if they have a negative COVID PCR based test on day 7 or after of their quarantine, and remain without symptoms.
  • ***NH DPHS does NOT recommend adopting the “test out” option in the CDC Quarantine Guidance(i.e. quarantine for 7 days and a negative test) for confirmed close contacts to a positive person. Currently, testing resources are not sufficiently available to adopt this approach, and risk of transmission is increased.


In all situations, you are still self monitoring for any symptoms until day 14. If you develop symptoms during this time period you need to test and follow the appropriate quarantine or isolation guidance.


  • Isolation guidance for confirmed positive cases (12/3/20): https://www.dhhs.nh.gov/dphs/cdcs/covid19/documents/self-isolation-covid.pdf
  • Quarantine guidance for exposure or travel (12/3/20): https://www.dhhs.nh.gov/dphs/cdcs/covid19/documents/self-quarantine-covid.pdf


NH COVID related information can be found on the nh.gov/covid19 website.


Common Questions:

Can I get a rapid COVID test instead of a PCR test?

One can get a rapid test if symptomatic. If one has no symptoms, then a PCR test should be done for accurate results.


Can I come to work/send my kids to school if someone in my house is getting a COVID test and waiting for results?

Yes. As long as you/they are asymptomatic, then you may come to work and the kids may come to school. If the individual in your house tests positive, then you would need to remain home.


How long do I need to stay home if I test positive for COVID?

You will need to remain home in isolation for 10 days since the start of your symptoms, or 10 days from the test collection date if you are asymptomatic. You can return to school on the 11th day.


Someone in my house tests positive for COVID. How long do I need to remain home?

You will remain home for 20 days (10 days for the person who tested positive, and then you are home an additional 10 days for your quarantine after the period of isolation ends).


If I test positive or someone else in my house tests positive, will DHHS contact me?

Because of the increase in positive COVID cases in NH, DHHS has said they will now contact cases related to schools with a “beginning” isolation or quarantine letter/notification. This may take a few days. Please follow the guidance given to you by your school nurse or PCP until such time as you are contacted by DHHS. NH DHHS will no longer be providing a “release from” isolation/quarantine letter. Please reach out to your PCP or myself with any questions related to either quarantine or isolation.


What is the definition of close contact?

Close contact is defined as being less than 6 feet from a positive COVID individual for a cumulative 10 minutes or more during the person’s infectious period. What is the infectious period? It is based on the 2 days before the person becomes symptomatic or 2 days before the test collection date if the person is asymptomatic.


Please continue to be in contact with your school nurse if your child is being tested for COVID-19 either due to symptoms or if they have been exposed to a person determined to have COVID. Please contact the school nurse for any positive test results.


People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear anytime from 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. All of the following are symptoms of COVID-19:

  • Fever(over 100.o F) or chills

  • Cough

  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

  • Fatigue

  • Muscle or body aches

  • Headache

  • New loss of taste or smell

  • Sore throat

  • Congestion or runny nose

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Diarrhea


In order for your child to return to school if they exhibit any of the symptoms listed above, they should either get a COVID PCR based test and produce a negative test result, OR choose to quarantine for 10 days since onset and improvement of symptoms.


DHMC Covid hotline (603) 650-1818. Hotline hours: Monday through Friday, 6:00 am to 6:00 pm; Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. This is for DHMC patients only (unless you are deemed a close contact to a positive case) and you do not need a referral from your Pediatrician before testing. Appointment only. https://www.dartmouth-hitchcock.org/patient-education/covid19-testing.html


Alice Peck Day- (603)-442-5665 Hotline hours 8:30am-4:00pm on weekdays. Official State testing site therefore will test anyone regardless if your doctor is at APD or if you do not have a doctor. Do not need a referral. Appointment only. Must live within the Community of Alice Peck Day. https://www.alicepeckday.org/services/covid19communitytesting/

Arrival Schedule Updates

The school day begins at 7:45 - 7:50 AM.


The PikMyKid Check-in Health Screening is required each day. Students who do not complete the check-in before arriving will have to be screened at the door before entering the building. We continue to average 20-30 check-ins daily which is still slowing down the process. Please complete the check-in health screening before leaving home in the morning.


Students will be expected to arrive at the following times, as we stagger our arrival in order to process students into our building:


Bus Riders - 7:22 AM


Band/Chorus Students - 7:22 AM - Please follow directions from Ms. Garnham and Mr. Terry. If your child has a sibling that is not in the band or chorus, please drop them together at the same time.


Car drop offs need to plan to start at 7:30 AM or after. There is no early drop off.


Students should be sitting in a seat on the right side of the vehicle to exit on the sidewalk side. Students should also be prepared to get out before the car stops so they can do so quickly and the car line can keep moving.


If your child has to exit from the left side of the vehicle, please park and we will help them cross the crosswalk.


5th & 7th Grade Car Riders - Begins @ 7:30 AM


6th & 8th Grade Car Riders - Begins @ 7:38 AM


***If you have students in 5th and 8th for example you can choose the earlier or later time.***

Our 5 Day - Daily Bell Schedule

Dismissal Schedule & PikMyKid Updates

Students will be dismissed at the following times:


Please park if your child is not along the curb when you enter the loop to keep the flow of traffic moving.


Bus Riders - 1:55 PM


5th & 7th Grade Car Riders Starting at 2 PM (please try not to arrive before 2PM)


6th & 8th Grade Car Riders 2:08 PM


***If you have students in 5th and 8th for example you can choose the earlier or later time.***


We have changed our School's PikMyKid settings. Parents can no longer change the default pick-up mode of their students. If you have a student who will be picked up by car permanently and not taking the bus for example, you will have to contact the school. To change your child's afternoon plans temporarily, use the calendar feature in order to delegate someone else to pick up for example.


Tutorials are found below in the Scoop.

Attendance as of Monday, October 26th

All students are expected to attend school each day it is in session if they selected to be in school, and must be in Advisory by 7:45am for attendance.


All students arriving to Advisory after 7:45am will be considered late to school.


Parents must complete the PikMyKid App Check-In Health Survey each morning for each student to attend in person learning.


Parents must contact the school office each day their student (in person or fully remote) will be absent or late.


In person learners who have symptoms keeping them from in person learning, will be marked absent and do not need to access their teachers remotely. Our nurse will contact the family to discuss if COVID testing is necessary and what date the student may return to school.


All students who are called out absent for 1 to 2 days, for any reason, will be marked absent and do not need to access their teachers remotely. Student may make up missing work upon their return to school.


In person learners who are absent for 3 or more days due to illness or quarantine may learn remotely at their teachers’ discretion; however, they will continue to be marked absent.


Planned absences for all students must follow our student handbook attendance policy. In this case the student may learn remotely at their teachers’ discretion; however, they will be marked absent.


Extended Absences/Vacations

Parents/Guardians are discouraged from planning family vacations while school is in session. Please make plans that coincide with school vacations and holidays because it is difficult for students to make up classroom learning activities when a child is absent for an extended period of time. Permission is granted by an administrator, and a written request to the main office for a student’s work two weeks in advance is required. It is the student’s responsibility to notify teachers and collect assignments. It is the student’s responsibility to submit the completed assignments upon his/her return to school. Failure to obtain permission and to request work two weeks in advance will result in absences being unexcused.


New Period Attendance – In an effort to improve communications, LMS teachers now have the ability to take class attendance each period via Powerschool for all students. Students will be notified if they are marked absent. Parents will be notified if they have created a parent portal account in Powerschool. This should help parents/guardians monitor attendance for their remote learners.


It is important to note that an in person learner, who is at school, could be marked absent for a class for a variety of reasons (early dismissal, student services, counseling, etc.).

Breakfast & Lunch Information Updated 10.24.20

Breakfast and Lunch

Students will be able to purchase breakfast or lunch ahead of time. More details to come soon as to how students will order meals ahead.


  • Breakfast $1.75
  • Lunch $3.15


Reduced price tentatively for breakfast is $0 and lunch is $.40.


Food service along with everything else looks a little different this year. In the morning, students may not enter the building early to get and eat breakfast. There will be a daily offering with a cereal option for the students to choose from between 7:25 and 7:40. Students, regardless of grade, should enter the front doors of the school in the morning and the students should go directly into the cafeteria and pick up and eat their breakfast. Breakfast will not be available once the school day begins at 7:45. There will not be a breakfast break period this year. Remember that a reduced pay student receives a free breakfast.


At lunch there will be two options available at lunch every day. A daily offering and an option that will be consistent for the week. We are also offering a breakfast and a lunch for remote learning days. A cohort students can order meals for Tuesday and Wednesday at Monday lunch and again on Thursday for Friday. B cohort students can order meals for Wednesday and Thursday at lunch on Tuesday and again on Friday for Monday. The meals will be available for pickup at the end of the day and the student will pick up the meals on the way out at dismissal time.


Just a reminder, Free and Reduced applications must be filled out every year. You can apply on line at https://www.lunchapplication.com/ or you can get the application on the district’s website. Applications are also available at the main office.

It is imperative that students do stay home if they are sick or have COVID-19 symptoms (COVID symptoms). Students should not come to school if they are not feeling well or have any of the following symptoms:

  • Fever or chills
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headache
  • New loss of taste or smell

Water Bottles & Backpacks & Chromebooks Reminders

Students should have a water bottle and can use the bottle filling stations throughout the day.


Every student needs a backpack every day to carry their materials for the day.



Students also need to bring their chromebook to school every day they are in person. Parents/Guardians need to help students remember their device and help make sure it is charged. Students need to be reminded to be careful with their chromebooks to avoid breaking them. If you are having trouble with the Chromebook, email techsupport@sau88.net.

Chromebooks

Students need their chromebooks every day they are at school! We continue to encourage students to take care of their machines and very much appreciate your help with this. We want to keep our machines in good working order at all times. We can troubleshoot functioning but we can't just replace due to breakage.
