Sixth Grade Families:
The administration and staff of the Lurgio Middle School are excited to welcome the incoming seventh grade class. We are committed to building a successful two years for all our students, and that begins with the thoughtful and deliberate course registration process.
Next Tuesday, April 6th, I will be sending you a presentation explaining how to register for your students courses at Lurgio next year. I will also send an invitation to a Google Meet that will take place that evening at 6PM in which I will present the material live. In both presentations, I will highlight the different course offerings in mathematics, support, world language, and music.
Sincerely,
Ed Joyce
Pod Cohorts:
Now that kids are back with full classes, teachers may begin restructuring the student groupings within their pod to better meet the needs of their students. Social distancing guidelines, mask wearing, and all other mitigation procedures will continue as usual.

Travel Update Reminder:
We wanted to update you all regarding the new travel guidelines that have been released from NH DHHS. Any travel increases a person’s risk of getting infected and spreading Covid. DHHS continues to discourage travel, and encourages post travel testing. Here is the detailed information regarding DHHS travel guidance and here is the full NH COVID-19 Travel Guidance . Below are the highlights:
Domestic travel within the US no longer requires quarantine upon return to NH (this includes domestic travel to US territories)
Even though a person may not be required to quarantine after Domestic travel, the CDC does suggest that people seek testing 3-5 days after travel for asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection; testing is recommended and helpful to identify positive cases- testing by PCR is recommended. Your child may attend school while awaiting their PCR test for domestic travel if asymptomatic.
International travel continues to require a 10 day quarantine, or a 7 day quarantine with a PCR test on day 6-7 with a negative test result.
Travel on a cruise ship also requires a 10 day quarantine, or a 7 day quarantine with a PCR test on day 6-7 with a negative test result.
Everyone who chooses to travel, regardless of vaccination status or prior immunity, should wear a well fitted, multi-layer face mask, physically distance (i.e. maintain at least 6 feet from other people), avoid large groups and gatherings, frequently sanitize hands, and self monitor for symptoms.
If your child is symptomatic after travel your child should isolate and get tested, and parents inform the school nurse.
