German teachers Liz Concannon and Cindi Hodgdon are proud to announce the results of the National German Exam Level 1. Congratulations and certificates are going out to the following students:
Gold Award - Jennifer Hopkins
Bronze Award - Ally Larson
Achievement Award - Kai Flynn
Achievement Award - Miles Higgins
Achievement Award - Abbey Shumway
The test results are exceptional for several reasons. "The test writers did not adapt the test at all this year to consider the impact of COVID-19 on instruction. It was the normal exam," Hodgdon noted. "Second, related to the pandemic, circumstances had prevented us from covering the normal German 1 curriculum. But most remarkably, students took part in the exam in a new semester when they did not even have German on their schedule." Given these circumstances, the positive test outcomes take on a special meaning.
The National German Exam is administered each year to over 20,000 high school students of German. The exam is comprised of 100 multiple choice questions divided into two parts with 50 questions each. The listening and viewing portion is 40 minutes in length and consists of a series of short audio and video segments. The reading portion is 45 minutes in length and consists of a variety of print texts, including graphs and images. All materials used in the exam come from authentic resources.

The Derry Cooperative School District will join the ConVal School District’s lawsuit filed seeking equitable education funding for all New Hampshire schoolchildren.
“As the third-largest school district in the state, the Derry School Board believes that fighting for funding that accurately reflects the cost of educating our students is critical,” Derry School Board Chair Erika Cohen said. “The state must live up to its responsibility to fund education.”
The ConVal District filed suit against the State of New Hampshire and Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut in 2019. The suit maintains that the state does not meet its constitutional obligation to provide adequate funding for all students. Plaintiffs argue that base adequacy is not sufficient to fund an adequate education and falls far short of funding services, positions, and items that the State requires school districts to provide. In 2019 districts received $3,636 per student in base adequacy.
The Supreme Court of New Hampshire in March rejected the state’s requests to dismiss the lawsuit and returned it to Superior Court Judge David Ruoff. Ruoff will hold hearings that will allow ConVal and its co-plaintiffs to present factual evidence that the state underfunds education. An evidentiary hearing is unlikely to be held until summer 2022.
Derry is the largest school district in the state to join the lawsuit, educating more than 3,000 students. Other co-plaintiff districts are Claremont, Fall Mountain, Grantham, Hillsboro-Deering, Mascenic, Monadnock, Newport, Oyster River, and Winchester.
“We welcome Derry as a co-plaintiff,” ConVal Superintendent Dr. Kimberly Rizzo Saunders said. “Their support reinforces our position that the state’s failure to provide equitable funding hurts all districts’ students, no matter how large or small the district.”

Good Afternoon ConVal Community,
We were informed today of a case of COVID-19 at South Meadow School. We are actively working with and following guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). NH DHHS has requested we provide contact information for anyone who has been identified as having had close contact (within 3 feet for a total of 10 cumulative minutes or more, beginning 2 days prior to first illness onset or collection of positive test, whichever is earlier) with the infected person.
The staff and students of SMS have done a wonderful job of working within the mitigation strategies of our reopening plan. At this point there is no need to change our instructional model. Anytime a student or staff member is potentially exposed they receive a phone call from the appropriate building administrator.
The safety of our children, employees, and community is our top priority. To ensure your health and safety, we have been following CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting. In addition, we should all take the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
- Avoid close contact with others. When outside your home, keep a distance of at least 6 feet between yourself and others.
- Wear a cloth face covering that covers your mouth and nose to protect others when in public areas.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Stay home if you have a fever or are not feeling well.
If you have questions please do not hesitate to reach out directly to me at ksaunders@conval.edu.
Best,
Kimberly

"We are thrilled to welcome Tim into his new role as principal.

"We are looking forward to seeing him implement his vision of excellence for the school, and are excited that he will continue to build upon the relationships he's fostered during his tenure so far."

"I am so excited to begin this new role and to be given the opportunity to continue to serve the ConVal School District," said Assistant Principal Conway. "My last few years at SMS have been nothing but rewarding and I am grateful for the opportunity to remain a part of the school community for years to come.

The District will hold an online viewing of “Angst” on Wednesday, May 5, at 6 p.m. The film is designed to raise awareness about anxiety, especially in youths, and help identify resources and ways they can receive support. The film is rated for those ages 10 and older.
The panelists are:
- Karin Gornick, the Emmy award-winning producer of “Angst,” has been creating social impact projects and films for broadcast, nonprofit organizations, and corporations for 25 years. She has developed projects for CNN, Discovery Channel, PBS, The Kaufmann Foundation, Hewlett Packard, Microsoft, and Common Sense Media. “Angst” was inspired in part by Gornick’s journey searching for help with her teenage son’s anxiety disorder and learning how much hope and help there is for treating mental health challenges.
- Tim Cotreau, Director of School Counseling for the ConVal School District, worked as a school counselor for 12 years before joining ConVal in 2020. Cotreau has a Master’s degree in counseling from the University of New Hampshire, and a Bachelor’s degree in history and sociology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
- Judith Winters is the middle school counselor in the ConVal District, and previously worked as the elementary school counselor. Winters has a Bachelor’s degree in Religion from Duke University, a Master’s degree in Elementary Math Education from Boston University, and a Master’s degree in School Counseling from Rivier University.
After the film, panelists will discuss the film and how students can apply the lessons learned. Parents and guardians will be able to ask questions.
“Angst” is the third in a trilogy of films the District has shown during the 2020-21 school year. In October, “The Upstanders” discussed resilience, attention, and the power of connection to end bullying and the brain science behind cyber-bullying, bullying among friends, families, and co-workers. In February, “Like” explored the impact of social media on people’s lives, the effects of technology on the brain, and taught viewers how to self-regulate their social media use.
Registration here is required.

Good Morning ConVal Community,
We were informed today of a case of COVID-19 at Great Brook School. We are actively working with and following guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). NH DHHS has requested we provide contact information for anyone who has been identified as having had close contact (within 3 feet for a total of 10 cumulative minutes or more, beginning 2 days prior to first illness onset or collection of positive test, whichever is earlier) with the infected person.
The staff and students of GBS have done a wonderful job of working within the mitigation strategies of our reopening plan. At this point there is no need to change our instructional model. Anytime a student or staff member is potentially exposed they receive a phone call from the appropriate building administrator.
The safety of our children, employees, and community is our top priority. To ensure your health and safety, we have been following CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting. In addition, we should all take the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
- Avoid close contact with others. When outside your home, keep a distance of at least 6 feet between yourself and others.
- Wear a cloth face covering that covers your mouth and nose to protect others when in public areas.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Stay home if you have a fever or are not feeling well.
If you have questions please do not hesitate to reach out directly to me at ksaunders@conval.edu.
Best,
Kimberly

We have had community viewings for UPSTANDERS in October and LIKE in February. The final movie, ANGST will be shown to the community on May 5th from 6-8 PM. Please follow this link to register your family to view the community viewing of ANGST.
ANGST: On top of academic and social stress, the uncertainty and fears of this past pandemic year have brought all of us a lot more anxiety than before. Angst helps break this down, explaining what’s going on, and what we can do about it to help both ourselves and others. It features World Champion Swimmer Michael Phelps, experts in the field, and regular teenagers.

Their final project of the unit was to design and build an electromagnetic fishing pole and participate in a fishing derby where they fished for "paperclip" fish. Their fishing pole had to have a switch and an electromagnet. To get to this point, students had to determine three variables that they were going to test to create the best fishing pole they could. Students had one swipe over the pile of magnets to see how many they could attract. Pictured here is the winner of the derby with Mrs. O'Bryant.

Some of my teachers have had two legs while others have had four or even eight. But all have taught me something important about how to be a good creature in the world.” This is how local author Sy Montgomery starts her book How to Be A Good Creature, a children’s book that can teach us all many lessons including how to be patient, respectful and to show courage. We used this book as a guide during kindness week before vacation.
All students listened to the story and thought about an animal that they have connected with or reflected on how they are good creatures in the world. Every child created a watercolor page about their reflection. These pages were turned into a beautiful book with the help of Jeannie Connolly of the Arts Integration program. The book was then hand-delivered to Sy Montgomery and her dog Thurber in Hancock. She was so touched that she took time to answer questions from students through Zoom this week. This integrated project was a wonderful way for students to think about who their teachers might be and what they might be able to teach others. Kindness and Courage are certainly a few examples that all Pierce School students can share.

Mrs. Bruns' third graders are enjoying "Flashlight Friday" during D.E.A.R. time.
D.E.A.R. stands for Drop Everything And Read. This is time in the daily schedule that is for students to do some independent, silent reading. Flashlight Friday is their reward for following the TES goals of being Caring, Respectful, Responsible and having Perseverance. The darkened room and flashlight add a little extra fun during D.E.A.R.
Way to go third graders for exhibiting the goals of TES. We are all very proud of you.

The previous article in this series on District Finances discussed the three options for disposition of the remaining Fund Balance at the end of any given fiscal year:
- Appropriations to Trust Funds (“Transfer”)
- Retention of unassigned funds (“Retain”)
- Returned to the taxpayers when they are utilized by the Department of Revenue Administration in calculating the local education tax rate (reduction of District Tax Assessment) for the following fiscal year (“Return”).
Article 3 of this series discussed NH Emergency Order 38 which allowed the District to “retain” a portion of the FY19-20 unused funds to meet the unanticipated costs associated with COVID. That was a helpful albeit temporary solution.
This article will discuss proposed Warrant Article 12 – “Fund Balance Retention” which would establish a contingency fund that could be used – indefinitely – to meet the costs of unanticipated expenses that arise during the year.
For a detailed treatment of the topic, including a flowchart, please see this .pdf file.

As mentioned in an earlier email, we were informed today of two cases of COVID-19 at Dublin Consolidated School (DCS). We immediately contacted, worked with, and followed guidelines from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) to determine if any staff or students were in close contact with either of the infected individuals.
NH DHHS defines close contact with an infected person as being within six feet for a total of ten cumulative minutes or more, beginning two days prior to first illness onset or collection of a positive test, whichever is earlier. When close contact occurs, we contact those individuals or their parent/guardian to instruct them on how to self-quarantine at home.
After reconnecting with DHHS this evening, we retraced all potential contacts over the time period in question and have identified some individuals who might have been in close contact with those who tested positive. Out of an abundance of caution, these individuals will be advised to contact their primary care physician to discuss testing options and directed to keep themselves quarantined for 10 days after their last potential exposure.
The safety of our children, employees, and community is our top priority. To ensure the health and safety of all, we have been following CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting. In addition, we should all take the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
- Avoid close contact with others. When outside your home, keep a distance of at least 6 feet between yourself and others.
- Wear a cloth face covering that covers your mouth and nose to protect others when in public areas.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
- Stay home if you have a fever or are not feeling well.
If you have questions, please contact Ann Forrest, Assistant Superintendent, at aforrest@conval.edu.

NH DHHS defines close contact with an infected person as being within six feet for a total of ten cumulative minutes or more, beginning two days prior to first illness onset or collection of a positive test, whichever is earlier. When close contact occurs, we contact those individuals or their parent/guardian to instruct them on how to self-quarantine at home.
Based on what we know about these cases, there is no reason to believe that they resulted from exposure at school. Furthermore, thanks to the vigilance of the staff, students, and families of DCS, no individuals met the above definition of close contact, and we are able to continue our present programming at DCS.
The safety of our children, employees, and community is our top priority. To ensure the health and safety of all, we have been following CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting. In addition, we should all take the following precautions to prevent the spread of the disease:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.

Each of our oldest students and their family lined Main Street (6 feet apart) and the rest of us drove up and down the street with music, honks, waves, smiles, and a few tears. While it was not the way we expected this year to turn out, we are so proud of all the students and their families for the hard work and positive attitude. FES will miss these students, but we know they are destined for great things!
