👨👩👧 Tips for Families:
· Open the scene: Make dinner time or a car ride a moment to ask: “What puzzle piece did you add today?”
· Lead by example: Show healthy ways to manage stress, connect with others and enjoy life.
· Tap into local supports: Great resources are right here in our community.

Red Ribbon Week has been a success so far! Yesterday our "Rhyme without Reason" students took a visit to Milton Elementary and had the students guess what their rhymes were. Today is Future Career day and our halls are filled with nurses, doctors, lawyers, financial advisors, a food critic, and some professional athletes. ApplyNH Day is in full swing with seniors taking advantage of applying to NH Colleges for free, and a group of students are taking PSATs for a chance to win a scholarship.
🌟 Student Shout-Out: Tyler Sauvageau! 🌟
Tyler has really stepped up in Geometry by supporting a classmate who was struggling. He showed patience, empathy, and determination — even when the other student felt frustrated. Thanks to Tyler’s encouragement and teamwork, the two ended up working together successfully! 💪📚

Congratulations to our Middle School Soccer Team on their championship win today! What an amazing season for these athletes, great job Rams!
Tomorrow's Middle School Soccer Game has moved to 10:30 am.
The School Board voted to update the existing school calendar at their meeting on 10/22/2025. The teacher workshop day that had been scheduled for June 18, 2026, was moved to Friday, December 12, 2025. The updated calendar is available on our website under "Family Resources" in the drop down menu.
On Thursday, October 23rd, a group of high school students from Nute went to the Farm Museum property in Milton to help with the removal of invasive plant species as part of their community service. These species are not native to New Hampshire and spread very quickly and compete with plants that are native to New Hampshire. A few examples included Japanese Barberry, Autumn Olive, Bittersweet, and Burning Bush. Many of these plants have thorns and are very difficult to remove. Our students cleared an area by working for hours in the jungle -like conditions! A big thanks to the Farm Museum staff for providing pizza and apple cider doughnuts! A huge shout out to the students that helped make this project a success!

Student Shout-Out: Jackson Thrasher
Jackson Thrasher recently went out of his way, without any prompting, to make sure a classmate had something to eat. His thoughtful action showed not only kindness but also deep respect and empathy for others. By recognizing a need and stepping in to support a peer, Jackson demonstrated the values we strive to encourage in all of our students—respect, empathy, ethical behavior, and care for the community around him. His selfless choice reminds us that even small acts can make a big impact. Jackson is a true example of what it means to live our Portrait of a Graduate qualities every day.
