Resource Gathering and Collection at Belmont High School

Good afternoon, Belmont High School Students and Parents/Guardians, 

As I'm sure you would expect, our faculty and staff has been diligently working to prepare remote learning opportunities for our students. The Shaker Regional School District, in compliance with Governor Sununu's directive, is closed to students; this means that all learning that takes place prior to our reopening of schools will occur from home and/or other environments. We have a truly talented and dedicated group of professionals who will execute this style of learning while remaining actively engaged in the development of our community's young people. 

A great deal of additional communication will take place as we move forward, but we wanted to point out some specifics/developments regarding the latter portions of this week when students are to gather supplies and/or class-specific resources.  

Classroom Resource Pick-Up Details:
Each teacher will be emailing his/her classes by the end of the day tomorrow (Wednesday, 3/18) to let students/parents know whether or not there will be resources for pick-up Thursday and/or Friday (please see a reminder of the daily pick up schedule below). If not, this means that the teacher's plans allow for a fully-digital (online) experience in which students receive instruction, have opportunities to communicate with their teachers, and are assessed without being required to have hard copies of work/resources in front of them. Please know that for classes that do have required hard copies/resources, as we continue to limit access to our building - and the in-person interactions of members of our community - most collected items will be found in the lobby of BHS. Our effort will be to collect and gather books, work, supplies, etc. in a locale that does not require individuals to travel throughout the building more than is absolutely necessary.  

Lockers Emptied of All Items:
If your Belmont High School student has left any items in his/her locker(s), many of those items have also been brought into the foyer area where they should be picked up during the designated resource pick up times. If additional items are still in your student's locker, you should ask him/her for the locker number and its combination so you can retrieve those items while at BHS. All items need to be out of Belmont High School lockers and brought home prior to the end of the designated pick up times on FridayThis requirement is due to our custodial crew's plan to deeply clean every surface in the building, including inside lockers

Designated Pick-Up Appointments, by Student's Last Name:
Thursday:
  • A-E: 8-10am
  • F-J: 10am-12pm
  • K-O: 12-2pm
  • P-T: 2-4pm

Our plans for moving forward through this time will be sent later this week; please check for forthcoming emails often!

Also, keep in mind that our food drive-thru service, which provides both breakfast and lunch for our students, continues tomorrow at Belmont High School! As Superintendent Tursi recently communicated, "a food pick-up service [is available] at Belmont High School and Canterbury Elementary School...at 8 AM through 11 AM. This is a drive-thru service that will be available to all students. Drive-thru routes will be indicated by signs at each school. We will be providing a bagged breakfast and lunch at pick-up. You will be asked your student's name so we can keep track of the number of meals we need to prepare daily. Students' meal accounts will not be charged. We are providing free breakfast and lunch to all students. [For] the future, we are working on plans for delivering food to students utilizing our buses and bus stops. [Mr. Tursi] will keep you posted on future plans prior to the end of this week."

Thank you - and we wish all the best to you and your family!
