We want to inform you that an ambulance has been dispatched to Highbridge Hill Elementary School in response to a medical event involving a staff member. We appreciate your understanding during this time.
Tomorrow, Wednesday April 16th, both HHES and BMS will be conducting safety drills in their buildings. Blue U will be coming in and helping building administration run the drill. These drills provide great opportunities for our staff and students to practice implementing our safety protocols.

There was a response from emergency services for a student who was experiencing a medical emergency at MRHS. Staff called for "clear hallway" and the student is being transported to the hospital.

The NIPD has confirmed the 2mm bullet is fake. It is a replica of a toy bullet.
It is important to talk with your children about bringing lookalike toy weapons and paraphernalia to school. We will always take necessary precautions when the issue of student and staff safety is in question.
Last night, after hours, a small 2mm bullet was found at BMS. Administration has swept the building and police are on sight. There is no known threat towards the building, staff, or students. Administration will be following up with students throughout the day. If we are able to glean more details, we will provide an update.
Please call BMS 603-878-4800 or the SAU for more details 603-291-2017.

Go Gold! We love you Isaac!
We are completely copying Mr. Fondas' message! Thanks to the generous support of our parent organizations at all three schools, all students across the district received "We Stand with Isaac" t-shirts. Tomorrow, April 4th, we are asking all students and staff across the district to wear their shirts in support of the Phillips family. Go Gold!
We are no longer in secure campus! The police have cleared our area!
Thank you to the students, staff, and building administration for quickly implementing the district's safety protocols! Thank you to parents for your patience, understanding, and concern for your children! We will always act with an abundance of caution when student and staff safety is at risk.
Activities for the remainder of they day, including PM preschool, will proceed as usual! Please call the SAU if you have any questions 603-291-2017.
There was a bank robbery in downtown New Ipswich and the subject has not been located. We have been advised to keep the secure campus in place. Learning is still happening! This only means that we do not allow students outside for recess, PE, etc. and we have heightened security for parent dismissal
Parents who are picking up preschool students will need to have an ID ready for Mr. Saunders.
Please call the SAU if you have question 630-291-2017.
The NIPD has requested that all schools in the district secure their campuses; this means that we do not have students leave the building and we do not allow visitors in the building. Everyone at the buildings are safe! As soon as this directive is lifted, we will communicate with families. While we do know any additional information, please call the SAU if you have questions 603-291-2009.
Tonight, March 27th, our website will be changed over into a new, more user friendly format. Please be patient during this transition. If you are having trouble finding something, please call the SAU at 603-291-2017.
