CALLING ALL FIRST GRADERS!
If you have a child who will be entering first grade next fall or know somebody who does, please call the school at 623-8088 to begin the registration process. A child must be six years old on or before September 30th to enter the first grade.
TRAFFIC ISSUES
Due to safety concerns and traffic backup on Mast Road in the morning, please do not let your child exit your car until a staff member opens the car door for your child. Your child should be ready with his/her backpack to exit from the passenger side door. This procedure is necessary to help ensure the safety of our students and to alleviate traffic congestion in the circle and on Mast Road. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
NURSE’S NEWS
If you are calling your child in sick, the nurse needs to know the nature of the illness and symptoms. You can leave a message on her voice mail at 623-8088 ext.5902. Thank you very much.
EARLY ADMITTANCE POLICY
The Goffstown School Board has a policy (JEB-R) on requesting a waiver of school entrance age. The policy for entrance into first grade is that a child must be six years old on or before September 30th to enter the first grade. The parent/guardian of a child who does not meet this criteria may petition for early admission by submitting a written request to the Superintendent of Schools by March 15, prior to the year in question. The Superintendent of Schools will provide a copy of the procedures and a list of information which the Board may consider. Before the Board hears the request, the following information is generally required:
1. Testing completed by SAU 19 personnel. This testing is completed after regular school hours at the parent’s expense.
2. Information regarding the child’s intellectual abilities, social and emotional development, and physical abilities.
3. Written recommendations of a kindergarten teacher or other individuals with specific knowledge of the child’s intellectual, academic and social development.
