10.4.2020 Principal Notes

Dear McKelvie Families~

We have officially finished our first IA rotation of the 20/21 school year!  Students will have a new IA beginning tomorrow.  

If your child has tested positive for Covid 19 on a weekend or after hours, please email asdotj@sau25.net and stefekosr@sau25.net immediately, so we can begin the process of contact tracing and communicating with DHHS.  The process takes time, so the earlier the notification, the better for our McKelvie community!

Destination Imagination - Registration Now Open:
Registration is now open for Destination Imagination. New and returning students must complete this google form. 

Registration closes on Friday October 16th, 2020. Destination Imagination is an extracurricular program that requires parent volunteers. There is no guarantee that your child will be placed on a team, but we work very hard to place every child who registers. Teams may use school facilities for meetings, but must adhere to same safety precautions. The same applies if you decided to hold your meetings outside of the school buildings. For more info on this wonderful extracurricular program offered by our district, please check out www.nh-di.org or contact our coordinator, Marie Russell at bedfordrocksdi@gmail.com.

Through our Support Drive, 100% of your donation goes directly to the schools and students of Bedford.

MEADOW FARMS GIFTS, WRAP AND MORE: Looking for quality gift wrap, everyday gifts, tote bags, and gourmet mixes? Our popular  GIFTS, WRAP, AND MORE  fundraiser is just around the corner.

Sale runs from October 9-23.

LOOKING TO VOLUNTEER: The schools and the PTG appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to focus on the safety of staff and students while minimizing volunteers in the buildings at this time. We will communicate volunteer needs as the PTG is made aware of them. Please complete a Volunteer Google Form for each school you have a child attending. To access the form click HERE or you can find them on the PTG website www.bedfordptg.org under PTG Forms. You need to fill this form out in order to hear about volunteer opportunities at the schools or district wide.
