It was such a wonderful first two days of school, having kids back in the building. It was certainly different than in years' past, but none the less, so good to be with kids again!

Drop Off and Pick Up Reminder:
Students whose last name begins with the letter A-F or L-R will be dropped off at the main entrance on Liberty Hill Rd. Students whose last names begin with G-K or S-Z will be dropped off at the canopy entrance on County Rd. Traffic was quite heavy on both days, for both morning drop off and afternoon pick up. Given how few kids take the bus right now and that Lurgio drop off and pick up times are the same as ours, it likely will continue to be busy. Please remember to pull all the way up when dropping off and picking up your child, so that we can get as many cars lined up as possible to avoid blocking the intersection as well as exits and entrances.
Sickness/Quarantine Protocol:
Please adhere to this FLOWCHART for protocols for sickness/symptoms of COVID-19. As I mentioned in a previous email: Please be prepared for children to be sent home if they are ill or display any symptoms of COVID-19. We ask that you display patience with our school nurses during these instances. In order for schools to stay open, it is imperative that we follow these protocols. HERE is a document from the NHDOE on what to expect if your child tests positive.
Looking to be more involved at McKelvie?
We have the perfect opportunity for you! We are looking for two lunch/recess monitors to work at McKelvie from 11:45am to 1:45pm. We have a Monday through Friday position available as well as a Tuesday through Thursday position. If you are interested, please email parsonsj@sau25.net for additional details.
Box Tops Shopping Coordinator Update:
Please keep in mind that the Box Tops for Education Program is a fundraiser that we can use to help our school. For over 20 years, this Program has given families an easy way to earn cash for their school with products they already buy. Now you can simply scan your store receipt within 14 days of purchase with the Box Tops mobile app (Apple or Android) to identify participating products and instantly add cash to your school of choice. You can even give credit to your child’s homeroom teacher for any competitions we may have throughout the school year. If you have any questions on how this works, please reach out to me at amygaff9692@icloud.com.
NH Tackles Hunger Virtual Food Drive:
Over the next month, residents of NH, businesses, schools and more will make monetary donations via LINK, and any funds that are collected for your assigned school will be credited to your Food Bank (Bedford Food Pantry) account at the conclusion of the drive. We will notify you then as to how much money was donated to your program via the high school.
Girl Scouts:
We typically hang up flyers for parents to see when in the building, so in lieu of that, we are allowing this information to be sent home via Principal’s Notes.

Pre-Ordering Student Lunches:

Table and Tents:
I would like to extend a HUGE thank you to all of the families that donated time and money towards purchasing tables and tents for our outdoor classroom spaces. The response was overwhelming, and as a result, we were able to create 8 outdoor classroom spaces. McKelvie School is incredibly fortunate to have so much support from the community. Thank you!
I hope everyone enjoys the beautiful weather today and as always, call or email if you have any questions!
