Chromebook Updates this Weekend
Over the weekend, the technology department will be pushing out some much needed updates to the district Chromebooks. You will likely not notice any changes or issues. In order for the Chromebook to take advantage of the updates the students may need to login and logout of their Chromebook at some point over the weekend. Thanks for your understanding.
Integrated Arts (Grades 1-4)
Please remember that Integrated Arts classes (art, library, music and physical education) are required classes (and are graded as having met expectations by their participation). Students need to be checking in for attendance on their “special days” and participating in the lessons/assignments. If you have any questions, please contact the teacher(s) directly.

Some of our teachers are using Google Meet as a platform to interact with their students. You, as a parent, will be notified if this is happening. We have heard that some students are setting these "Meets" up for a social gathering. Please continue to monitor these invitations as you would any other playdate for your child. Student accounts are only to be used for school purposes. Email accounts are only for teacher to student or student to teacher communication and should only be used if the teacher has instructed students to use email. Thank you.
School Offices
All physical buildings in the BSD are closed to the public. Employees will be working remotely. If you need to get in touch with someone at the school, please call our main line 603-627-1776 and leave a message. Messages will be returned within 24-36 hours. Email is the most efficient method of contacting the schools.
Attendance will be taken daily. It is our expectation that students will be working each day on the assignments prepared by their teachers. If we see students did not do any work on a particular day they may be marked absent. If a student is sick or unable to complete any work for the day you should call the attendance line and report the absence as usual.
