Dear Parents,
With a beautiful day upon us, I am going to be cautiously optimistic about spring having finally arrived. Spring sports are in full motion and the physical education classes are beginning to trickle outside. As we enter the final week before the Spring Vacation, I encourage you all to get outside and bask in the tremendous weather.
--Ed Joyce

Book Buzz
We had a fabulous visit from NH author Emilie Burack to our Books for Breakfast Cafe today who shared her novel and work creating The Runaway’s Gold. She signed autographs, gave us bookmarks, and signed a book for a raffle prize for our 2019 Read-a-Thon!
The Runaway’s Gold by Emilie Burack is the winner of NH YA Novel Readers' Choice:
 |
In 1842, Christopher Robertson’s family lives a difficult life as “crofters,” farmers and fishermen so in debt to the landowner that they have no hope of ever breaking free. To make matters worse, Christopher also lives under the thumb of his morally questionable father and devious brother. When his brother frames him for the theft of their father’s secret bag of coins, Christopher must leave his home and embark on a journey across the island to return the coins and clear his name. It’s a journey that takes twists and turns, including stops in prison, on a smuggler’s ship, and at the house of a beautiful girl, and it ends with him escaping to a new life in America, which has dangers of its own.

Senior Project Book Drive
Two students from BHS are requesting students from RAL to donate their old books! The book drive benefits Families in Transition in Manchester. Please donate books ranging from grade levels K-12. Donations will be accepted until the Friday before April break. If you weren't able to donate books to our February school-wide book drive, now is you second chance! Collection boxes will be located in the vestibule outside the main office. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
2018-19 School Calendar
The School Board has approved the 2018-19 School Calendar. Please note that there is a substantial change for 2018-19. The district will shift from tracking days to tracking hours. As a result, the last day of school for 2018-19 will be no later than June 13 and could be as early as June 6. The first five snow days, if needed, will be made up by students at the end of the year. Any snow days beyond five days will not need to be made up by students. This should bring some more predictability to the end of the year for families.
Gsuite Information for Parents
Some of our parents have asked for an explanation of our Gsuite, the tools within Chrome our students now use for much of their school work. Our technology teachers have developed this Gsuite Information for Parents. For parents/guardians who are interested in seeing the work of their child, just ask your son/daughter to log in with their account or provide you with their password to showcase the work completed.
Last Day of School now June 20
The Superintendent announced at Monday's Board Meeting that the last day of school for students is currently June 20. He had a conversation with the NHDOE about the two days we missed school due to the Halloween wind storm this year. Given the circumstances of the storm and our school calendar, we will not have to have students make up those two days at the end of the year.
