The World in my Backyard

Our students are working and learning about "The World in my Backyard." This magnet focus area is designed to answer the fundamental human question, “Who are we and where did we come from?” It is a study of families and heritage as well as immigration. Students learn about the cultures and histories that are represented in their classrooms and in the world around us through interviews, biographies, diaries and other personal interactions.

We look forward to the students sharing their knowledge with everyone at our town meetings this year. Schedule of meetings will be posted soon.   

If you have any questions about our magnet theme curriculum, please reach out to Ms. Ryan at 475-220-3604 or carroll.ryan@nhboe.net.

IMPORTANT!!

Your child has new teachers that do not know what previous dismissal arrangements have been. It is extremely important that parents make sure the teacher knows how the child is getting home each day. If there is a change in dismissal it must be done so in writing. No child's dismissal plan will be altered without written notice. If a child is assigned a bus, they will be placed on the bus unless school staff is informed otherwise, in writing. Please be sure to send in a note so we can ensure your child is safely and correctly dismissed from school.

We thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work together to create a secure environment for our students.
