New News

Remote Instruction Updates & Resources

Please refer to the Lurgio homepage for district updates and school-specific resources. We will continue to update those links as new information becomes available.

Remote Learning Guide

On Wednesday, you should have received a link to our Remote Learning Guide. Within this document are the details of how our school will function with a remote instruction setting. You will find answers to many of your questions about the logistics of this new adventure. We will continue to update the guide as needed in order to reflect current practice.

BSD Breakfast and Lunch

The breakfast and lunch grab-n-go is moving location beginning on Monday. The pickup will still be at the high school but is being moved to the Bedford High School Gymnasium entrance. Those doors are nearer the kitchen and make the logistics of delivery easier. If you’ve never been to that entrance, it’s at the back of the building. A sign will be along the sidewalk as it has been this week.

Reminders

Lurgio School Athletic & Other Events

We are adjusting Lurgio athletic schedules and other school events in light of recent school closing due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in New Hampshire. 

For athletics, we are following guidance from the Bedford School District, as well as Tri-County Athletic League and the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association. The spring sports tryout schedule will be modified and announced once the building reopens. The status of all athletic competitions is to be announced as we work in conjunction with other schools in our league.

For all other school events, our general consideration was to modify any school event that would result in a large gathering, especially those that would allow admission to the general population beyond Lurgio staff and students. For any of these events that we felt we could reasonably postpone, we have done so. Unfortunately, other events needed to be cancelled. 

Please click here for a full schedule of how we intend to proceed with school events between now and April vacation. As the situation with COVID-19 evolves, we will continue to be flexible with our plans based on current guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services.

How does the program work? As in previous years, with the purchase of 4 participating Hannaford Helps Schools items, a customer will receive a printout for 3 School Dollars at the register. The customer can place that printout into your school's slot in the Hannaford Helps Schools collection tower, which is located at the front of the store your school is registered with.

NEW for 2020! Customers who shop with Hannaford To Go can either specify which school should receive their School Dollars in their order notes when placing their order, OR let the store associate know which school to give their School Dollars to when they pick their order up from the store.
