Halloween Parade on October 31st
The Halloween Parade will be on the high school track beginning at 1:45 and ended at 2:15. Please try to walk or carpool as parking will be tight this year with the construction. There are some parking spots in front of the school. If you park on Evans Drive, please park only on the side without the sidewalk and pull far over to avoid blocking the road for the buses.
Your children can bring school appropriate costumes to school with them on this day. They will change into costumes towards the end of the day. If it rains, we will parade inside the school and parents can line the hallways. We hope that you will join us to watch!
Anxious Nation
If you have some time this rainy weekend, I would highly recommend watching “Anxious Nation.” It is a documentary about the mental health crisis that is impacting so many of our children right now.
Navigating Illnesses:
Wondering what the differences are among colds, the flu, and Covid? Check out this informative article from The New York Times:

STUDENT FLU CLINIC
Hanover Street School hosted a Flu Clinic on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12 and vaccinated close to 90 students! We are appreciative of Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center Community Health Improvement for their time and help in keeping our students healthy.
Are you wondering about getting COVID Vaccines? Most doctor’s offices don’t have them yet, but I recommend calling and checking in over the next couple of weeks.
MEDICATIONS AND INJURIES
Elementary school aged children are not allowed to carry around their own medication (inhalers, epi pens, or pills). Please avoid sending in medication with your child unless you first notify a teacher or nurse to keep everyone safe. If your child needs medication at school, please contact me. We can review what is needed for this to happen.
In addition, should your child get injured (either in school or outside of school), please let me know what the doctor’s orders are in regards to recommended activity. We want to keep children safe at school while also allowing their bodies (and bones) to heal. Thank you for your help.
Should you have any questions about your child’s health, please contact me.
Be Well,
