Dear ConVal Families,
With snow in the forecast for Friday, we are writing today to provide an update on the use of outdoor classrooms and the work we’ve done to prepare all the buildings in the districts for students to move indoors to continue their learning.
Students have been able to utilize outdoor learning over the past couple of months in order to allow for a safe, in-person learning environment as we prepared our buildings for the winter months. However, with snow and colder weather in the forecast for this week, the tents, which cannot withstand a snow load, will likely begin to come down this week and students will begin to learn indoors in the next couple of days. When weather permits teachers may continue to take students outdoors for learning activities.
Knowing that the chance of inclement weather occurring was likely to be sooner rather than later, we have been working expeditiously over the last few weeks to prepare our buildings for a return to indoor learning for all students.
Over the last two weeks, the Lawson Group performed an independent evaluation of all HVAC systems in the district in order to ensure the buildings are in compliance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ventilation guidelines for schools as the fight against COVID-19 goes on. We have made enhancements to the HVAC systems in all school buildings for the 2020-21 school year, which include:
- Installing ionization units in the ductwork of all HVAC units in the district, which emit positive and negative ions that kill mold, bacteria and viruses, greatly improving air quality.
- Maximizing outside air circulation throughout the day for all classrooms and school wings so air changes in classroom spaces and within the school approximately four to seven times per hour. This programming will start up and shut down three hours before school starts and four hours after school ends for the day, respectively.
- Installing upgraded filters which capture particles in a variety of sizes, including many viruses and allergens. This was done by installing new MERV 11 filters that capture 65-79% of particulate 1-3 microns in size and at least 85% of particulate 3-10 microns in size and larger.
We are proud of the incredible work Director of Facilities Tim Grossi, our HVAC specialist Keith Lee and the facilities team has done to complete this work prior to our students returning to indoor learning spaces. It is a prime example of our commitment to continually prioritizing the health and safety of our students, staff and their families, which has been and will continue to be a top priority in all of our decisions.
Best,
Kimberly

Under the proposal, all ConVal High School winter sports programs would offer opportunities to participate in a competitive limited regional NHIAA sanctioned schedule.
ConVal High School athletes who decide to participate in winter athletics must sign a COVID waiver. They will also be required to join the remote-only learning cohort until their final competition date plus a 14-day quarantine period immediately following the last athletic event.
The following timeline was approved by the NHIAA’s Executive Council last week:
- 11/30/20-12/11/20: Phase 1 and Phase 2 conditioning/skills and drills activities for all sports
- 12/14/20-1/10/21: Team practice sessions
- 1/11/21: First date to play games
This plan will be re-evaluated prior to and during these dates if COVID cases increase in our area.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Athletic Director John Reitnauer (jreitnauer@conval.edu).

Though the event has been held in-person in previous years, this year’s event will be held virtually out of an abundance of caution due to the ongoing pandemic.
The virtual Open House will be held on Thursday, November 5, and start at 6:20 pm with a brief introductory meeting with Principal McKillop. Families will have an opportunity to meet with teachers, starting at 6:30 pm. Information will be sent home to parents and guardians by the end of the week that will include each respective student schedule and links to meet their individual teachers.
The virtual event serves as an opportunity for parents and guardians to meet their child’s teachers and learn important information about the current school year, including in-person and remote learning expectations, training on the use of Google Classroom, grading policies and procedures, additional support opportunities for students, and teacher contact information.
“We are excited to once again connect with families this fall to provide information about how this school year is being structured,” Principal McKillop said. “This year’s event, which will look a little different, also provides families a great opportunity to learn more about the hybrid learning model students are following.”
Individual conferences will not be available at the event. Those who wish to discuss individual matters related to their student should contact their teacher directly to set up a time for a meeting.
“We are grateful for the support of our entire ConVal community, which has been vital in helping to provide students with the best possible learning experience during these challenging times,” Superintendent Rizzo Saunders said. “We hope you will join us for this important event to learn more about and celebrate the incredible work students have done since the start of the school year.”

This means that all supplies and tools, including potter's wheels, have to be brought out on a hand-pulled utility wagon every morning and brought back in when school is over.
Everyone has taken these new circumstances in stride. "Students have been practicing a variety of hand-building skills in Ceramics under the tents this year," explained Mitschmyer. "Everything from pinch to coil, and now working with slabs."
"Over the last two weeks, students have been building vessels for containment. At school, this means they have been building boxes and at home, they are working on hollow forms. Moving forward we are exploring bowl forms and tile making."
"I'm hopeful that we will be in the studio in the near future and students will begin practicing the potter's wheel! I just fired the first kiln of the year and hope to show students how to apply glaze for the final firing process soon," Mitschmyer concluded.

On a typical day and depending on the class level, one can observe students working on Shaker-style nightstands, building wooden iPhone speakers, assembling wooden pens that have been made by hand on a lathe, designing cribbage boards, or creating intricate family crests.
Under the expert guidance of Mr. Ewing and Mr. Morris, students learn the full range of skill sets. They start from the basics of proper measuring, cutting wood with hand saws, and gluing pieces together with clamps. More advanced skills include squaring rough-cut boards with the automated jointer and planing tools, all the way to programming and operating the computer numerical control (CNC) router.
Safety is always the primary concern. The ATC teachers ensure not only that equipment guards are installed and work properly, but also that students follow all individual safety precautions. This includes students wearing CSA-certified safety glasses and removing all entanglement hazards, such as loose clothing and jewelry.
Once these preconditions are set, the remaining work is all based on student creativity and workmanship.

The motivation for the listening tour stemmed from McKillop's interest in connecting with students. "Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the usual occasions, such as opening day gatherings, spirit rallies, and sport events, cannot be held this year," she explained. "The split into two alternating student cohorts and the physical distancing guidelines result in vastly fewer opportunities to make personal connections with students. It is therefore all the more important to be visible outside the office and to connect with them where they experience school right now."
In the student groups, McKillop shared her background as a teacher and administrator and invited students to share their backgrounds and experiences at ConVal as well. "I wanted to learn how they are doing with in-person and remote learning experiences," McKillop said. "How are they handling the two modalities? What can we do to make their experience better?"
Students, for the most part, seemed to really enjoy the personal connections they are making with teachers and classmates whenever their cohort was engaged in in-person learning, McKillop noted. "I am amazed at how resilient the students are and how they are handling themselves under the circumstances."

Students in Mary Goldthwaite-Gagne's art class are learning how to see works of art in the way that other artists have interpreted art before them.
"2D Studio Art students are currently exploring abstraction and the work of artist Corita Kent," Ms. G explains. "Corita Kent was an artist and educator, and the motto of the art department at Immaculate Heart College where she taught was, 'We have no art, we do everything as well as we can.'"
Kent often utilized a small viewfinder tool and encouraged students to look at the world around them in small abstracted parts in order to take in the beauty all around us.
"She championed art as essential and for all of us," Goldthwaite says.
Quoting from Corita Kent's book Learning by Heart: Teaching to Free the Creative Spirit, Goldthwaite notes: "To work, play, see, touch, laugh, cry, build, and use it all - even the painful parts, and survive with style: that's what Corita taught. She taught that art is not something apart from life and living."
[qms_post_excerpt] => Students in Mary Goldthwaite-Gagne’s art class are learning how to see works of art in the way that other artists have interpreted art before them.
“2D Studio Art students are currently exploring abstraction and the work of artist Corita Kent,” Ms. G explains. “Corita Kent was an artist and educator, and the motto of the art department at Immaculate Heart College where she taught was,

The protagonist, Darius, is struggling with his identity as an Iranian-American and does not quite know where he fits in with his family or the kids at school. He is also dealing with depression and anxiety, and that adds to his struggles with fitting in. When Darius goes to Iran to visit family he has never met, he learns a lot about himself, his heritage, and friendship. Darius is rarely alone, but he's lonely.
As Mrs. Holcomb explained: "We read an article together on how loneliness is actually an epidemic here in the US, and so we engaged in service projects to help combat loneliness. Students drew chalk art with uplifting messages, made cards for hospitalized kids, wrote letters to send to the local senior centers, or wrote letters to loved ones far away. It's all part of our effort to use literature to help us understand the complexities of our world and our place in it."

Food selections are made by students daily during Block 1, based on a Google form that lists the various options, including a hot meal choice. On the form, students also indicate where their Block 3 class is located.
At the designated time, lunch is delivered to students at their preferred location, whether it is in the classrooms close to the cafeteria or, in this case, the classroom furthest away — the tents on the athletic fields.
This lunch delivery arrangement avoids large groups of students coming together in the cafeteria and allows for the physical distancing guidelines of the ConVal COVID protocols to be maintained.
Teachers, who share their lunch period with students, have remarked that this is also a time where important informal conversations can take place.
A big thank you to all the cafeteria personnel who makes this special delivery service possible at ConVal High School!

Calling all creative, funny, or theatrically-minded students!
I'm so excited to be able to share with you that we are going to be workshopping an amazingly funny play called "Puffs: or Seven Increasingly eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic" by Matt Cox!
The world seems strangely familiar to any of you who might be familiar with a certain boy wizard. This hysterical 90-minute one-act will keep you entertained from beginning to end!
We do not currently have plans for a performance. For now, we're looking forward to getting together with other theatre-minded people and having some fun with this text!
We will either have two casts (one for each cohort - if there is enough interest) or one cast, and everyone interested will be involved in some way!
Please fill out this form if you are interested!
E-mail Mrs. Moore (emoore@conval.edu) if you have questions!

Since September, art teacher Victoria Burnham has been posting student artwork on the @bobcatstudioartists Instagram page. The art is usually hung throughout the school for visitors to enjoy. However, since visitors now have limited access to the school building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Instagram page allows both community members and fully remote students to stay connected to the school's artistic endeavors.
Art from the fifth through eighth graders in Pod 3 is up on the page currently, but Burnham will be sharing the work from all students over the coming months.
"Our teachers are really going above and beyond, and the students are doing great work," Principal Foecking said. “Efforts like this help keep our school community together and make sure everyone is as connected as possible. I'm beyond proud of the work our students and teachers have done since the start of the school year, and am glad to have this opportunity to share their work with community members."
Students are connecting with their remote peers in other classes as well. For example, during science labs, two students who are learning in-person will work with one of their remote peers via Zoom to complete the work so that all three can work together.
“During this unprecedented time, it's incredible to have the opportunity to foster and maintain the community relationships that allow our students to thrive," Superintendent Rizzo Saunders said. “It's amazing to see what these students create and we love being able to share their creative work with others."
Additional resources and projects can be found on the GBS Art Studio website here.

In seven years, “NH Tackles Hunger” has collected 455,000 pounds of food which equals 380,000 meals for NH families. I want to personally congratulate you and your team for a job well done. This is by far the most successful NH Tackles Hunger Fundraiser we have ever done.
With your generous help, the total collected this year was $81,818.45 which includes school donations made, the Dead River $10,000 gift and the matching $500 from the Lois Roy Dickerman Fund of the NH Charitable Foundation for each school that met or exceeded $500.00 in donations. This year’s cash converted to pounds totals 196,363 pounds providing 163,636 meals to our neighbors experiencing hunger.
Thank you for all of your help. We couldn’t have done it without you!"

Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders reports the ConVal School District has filed a lawsuit against Monadnock Tent and Event in order to recoup losses caused by unusable outdoor tents the district rented from the business to support in-person learning.
The suit was filed on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at Hillsborough County Superior Court.
In all, the district will be seeking $220,236.99 in total damages from Monadnock Tent and Event. This amount includes a refund for the money spent on tents that were not able to be permitted, labor costs, engineering costs, and electrical work.
“This lawsuit is meant to hold Monadnock Tent and Event responsible for their failure to live up to the responsibility of ensuring that the tents provided to the district could be permitted for use,” Superintendent Rizzo Saunders said. “This failure resulted in significant disruptions to the start of the school year, putting an increased burden on our staff, students, and their families during an already challenging time. After a good faith effort on our part to resolve this issue, this step is a last resort for the district as we work to recoup the taxpayer funding that went toward tents that we were ultimately unable to use.”
In late August and early September, the district became aware that tents over 400 square feet that it rented from Monadnock Tent and Event would not meet the permitting requirements set out by the state of New Hampshire. The permitting challenges were created by the vendor’s inability to provide the necessary data, certificates, and other required documentation to the necessary authorities per the contract and the representations made by the vendor.
As a result, the district had to modify its reopening plan and transitioned students at Great Brook, South Meadow and ConVal Regional High Schools to a remote learning model for the beginning of the school year.
As of this week, the District is fully implementing the Reopening Plan. On Monday, Oct. 5, South Meadow School seventh and eighth graders began attending classes in-person, as well as all ConVal High School students in the blue cohort. Students in grades 9-12 in the gold cohort will attend in-person together beginning on Oct. 13, and the two cohorts will rotate as scheduled going forward. In-person learning was scheduled to have begun for those students on Sept. 8.
The district will provide additional updates as they become available.

The entire class prepared by first reading about the structure of the eye and constructing paper models of it. After discussing the models as a whole class over Zoom, Gold Cohort and Remote-only students worked on extension questions about vision while in-person students completed the dissection.
The following week, the students' roles will switch and the Gold cohort students will dissect while the Blue Cohort and Remote-only students work on other learning activities.
Ms. Young used the following Flex Friday as an optional opportunity for Remote only students to come to the Anatomy tent and dissect the eye under her supervision.
The dissection is an important part of the Anatomy curriculum because it allows students to see how the cornea, pupil, iris, lens, retina, optic nerve, and muscles of the eye come together to enable the eye to function.
Ms. Young's favorite aspect of the dissection is the students' "ah-ha" moment. Experiencing how an actual eye is put together allows them to make sense of their paper-and-pencil studies to arrive at a deeper understanding.
"I love hearing them say, 'Ooooohhhh, okay,' because I know they are getting it. It's awesome." Young said.

The model envisioned two student cohorts that rotate weekly for in-person learning and remote learning on an alternating schedule, with the option of a third group of students remaining entirely remote as per family choice.
While the hybrid model demanded additional technologies and new skills from teachers who are teaching both in-person and remote students, the hybrid model was seen to provide maximum benefits for everyone involved.
It most closely resembles what students already know and expect school to be like. In-person instruction has the advantage of providing opportunities for hands-on activities like science labs as well as career and technical education (CTE) courses. Learning in-person also allows them to make individual connections with teachers and peers.
Live remote instruction permits students to interact with their teachers and peers on a real-time basis. Classroom discussions are being moderated by the teachers between remote students and students in class or in tents. In addition, Google Classroom offers the opportunity for written exchanges and responses to teacher-chosen discussion questions.
Student feedback thus far indicates that they appreciate the opportunity of both options of the hybrid model while following a predictable schedule. ConVal's Blue & Gold plan positions the high school for maximum flexibility along a continuum of blended learning environments which can quickly be adapted, as needed, in response to changing conditions.

During staggered dismissal at the end of each block, teachers sanitize their hands, put on gloves, and use the provided Q.T.3 spray bottle to spray the top surfaces of all the desks, tables, and chairs that were used during class. Once the surfaces have been sprayed, teachers return to the first desk and wipe it using a UniFirst microfiber cleaning cloth.
When the cleaning is done, the microfiber cloths are folded over, turning the dirty side of the towel against itself in order to allow for four different clean uses of the same cloth. The cloths are changed on a daily basis.

When students are "caught" showing one of our values they are given an owl. The students then bring those owls to the office where they are met with excitement and asked what they earned their owl for. On Friday afternoons we announce the recipients that received an owl for each value. The owls eventually end up on the TES Values tree.
We are so proud of the effort that each or our students have put forth to fill up our tree.

The PSAT is an optional test for 11th grade students to help them prepare for the SAT, and it also serves as the qualifying exam for the National Merit Scholarship. 10th grade students may also take the exam, but will not be eligible for the National Merit Scholarship consideration.
The cost of the PSAT is $17. There is a limited number of testing seats available.
Both Gold Cohort and Blue Cohort students will test on the same day but in separate areas of the building and will have a staggered arrival and departure time.
Gold Cohort students will need to arrive and be in their test rooms by 7:30 am. Blue Cohort students will need to arrive and be in their test rooms by 8:30 am. The test takes approximately 3 hours. Students will need their own transportation to and from the testing.
To sign up for PSAT, please complete this linked form.
Sign up information and payment must be received by Friday, October 9. Payment by check can be mailed to the high school, ATTN: Stacy Whitaker, or can be dropped off at the school between 7:30 am – 2:00 pm.

The rationale behind this planning decision was the opportunity to increase student and staff safety because outdoor classrooms have been shown to help reduce the viral load in the air. Fewer students spending time indoors touching shared surfaces throughout the school day also reduce the chances for the virus to spread.
An additional, though not entirely unexpected, benefit has been that schools may use outdoor spaces the tents for exploratory outdoor learning, independent reading, lunches, specials, classroom instruction, related services, special education instruction, small group instruction, etc.
As these pictures show, the spaces lend themselves to everything from storytime to the completion of independent work, to connecting with students during informal lunches.

COVID health check protocols were conducted on everyone before they could enter the building. Signage reminded staff and students to remain 6 feet apart and to wear masks. Clearly marked one-way hallway traffic required the learning of new walking routes to get to the classroom.
But once the newness of the safety measures had worn off, teaching and learning resumed with the same vigor and joy that classes at ConVal had enjoyed before the pandemic. Please see the photos below for some scenes from today's first day of school at ConVal High School.

On August 4, the ConVal School Board unanimously voted to approve the Reopening Plan as presented and authorized the SAU to contract with Monadnock Tent to have the required tents installed at all elementary, middle, and high school locations in time for the students’ first day of school. The process of installing tents on multiple sites is taking the vendor longer than anticipated.
The district has been working closely with Monadnock Tent and local officials to work through the inspection and issuance of permits to ensure that the outdoor classrooms are ready for student and staff use. The district has also contracted with SFC Engineering to further assure that the outdoor classrooms are ready for use.
While we are working to have the outdoor classroom spaces ready as soon as possible, not all the tents will be ready by the scheduled reopening date. Therefore, starting on September 8, students in grades PreK-6 who have opted for in-person instruction will be able to return for in-person instruction and in-school services.
Most students in grades 7-12 will start the school year remotely. Priority students in grades 7-12 who have been identified based on factors such as internet access and needed services will be invited to return for in-person instruction and in-school services.
We will be updating you regularly as more tents become available for use, and we are able to welcome all students PreK-12 who have opted for in-person instruction back to our school campuses.

"Given how much being outside reduces the COVID-19 transmission risk, it is mind boggling that the U.S. National Guard is not busy setting up open canopy tents at every school around the country," Jimenez writes. But, he warns, "masks are [still] essential, even when we are able to maintain social distance. We should also pay attention to fitting masks snugly."
Jose-Louis Jimenez is a Professor of Chemistry and a Fellow of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado-Boulder. He is a highly-cited researcher and a Fellow of the American Association for Aerosol Research and the American Geophysical Union. For the complete article in Time Magazine, please click here.

Our tents have been professionally installed following the specifications from the tent manufacturers. Each tent is undergoing a thorough inspection in conjunction with local authorities.
The tent company that we are working with is highly reputable and the proprietor is a local resident invested in our ConVal community and the safety of our students and staff.
Additionally, we have developed emergency procedures for evacuation of the tents and movement of students and staff into our buildings in the event that it becomes necessary.

The Monadnock region school districts are very busy developing and implementing our local school reopening. I’d like to highlight the work that went into ConVal’s reopening plan: it is the result of three months of community-wide efforts of the ConVal administration, the educators and school staff, the public health professionals, law enforcement, town administration, parents, and the school board.
This joint effort resulted in a plan that considers the safety and health of students and all school staff, and utilizes community resources to meet these needs. The plan utilizes research and data in identifying those practices that give the nine communities of ConVal its best chance at opening safely.
School districts across the state have reviewed the plan, and have also found the plan to be thorough and far-reaching, and have requested permission to use parts of the plan within their own.
ConVal parents have met with their individual school principals and teachers to get the information they need to make the right decision for their children.
I am most proud of our nine community collaboration that made this plan possible, and the support that has been evident between all parties throughout this process.
I’d also like to highlight that it is the commitment of our communities that make it possible for school districts to consider opening – the ability to open schools safely is dependent on the community transmission rate. When you wear a mask and maintain social distance guidelines, you are helping our schools to reopen and supporting families across the region.
Thank you to everyone and let’s keep up the good work!

Safety. Safety first for our students, educators, parents/guardians, and the community at large.
This is the overarching theme of the ConVal reopening plan. Our ConVal administration has worked diligently to provide a plan that is both safe and flexible to ensure the best education environment achievable in these difficult times.
Committee teams, comprised of over 120 individuals representing all required disciplines plus outside stakeholders ConVal administration, have developed a comprehensive plan that best reflects the requirements of our ConVal Community. Using a combination of in-school, remote and distance learning environments the ConVal district will have the flexibility to adjust the learning model as COVID-19 situations develop.
The Reopening Implementation Team related four instructional modes to the CDC’s four levels of community transmission and mitigation. These levels are designated as Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red.
The decision to move from one level to another level will be analyzed in real time by the district's COVID-19 monitoring team which is made up of local health professionals and district staff. Data from on-site monitoring, local and state information will all factor into the decision process. We are currently planning on our opening in the Green level.
The School Board has also been extremely active in having input to the plan, approving of the plan and being active participants in the steering committee overseeing the development of the plan.
Since our plan has been published, ConVal administration has been contacted by other districts — both in-state and out-of-state — to seek permission to use areas of our plan to assist them in developing their own plans. This is a testament to the completeness and direction we have established.
As with any plan, it is only as good as the time it was written, with the information available at the time it was written. With the overarching goal being safety, we expect the plan to be a living entity. The plan is only as good as the leadership is to execute it and to adjust as the situation requires. The ConVal community is uniquely privileged to have both the plan and leadership to navigate us through these uncharted waters.
Flexibility is also a key component to this plan. Everything will not be as it was. The success of our school year depends on all being as flexible as possible in their needs and requirements. We are all in this together. We are ConVal.
Please go to the ConVal website (convalsd.net) to see the entire detailed plan. For a high-level informational overview, please see the Executive Overview section of the plan.

When ConVal's traditional graduation could not be held in early June due to the statewide coronavirus stay-at-home order, plans were drawn up to postpone the event by two months. On August 8, the Class of 2020 was finally able to hold its commencement exercises under bright skies on the ConVal athletic field.
Former principal Michelle Voto and Jadyn Vaidya, President of the Class of 2020, welcomed the more than one hundred families who attended in person under observance of physical distancing guidelines. In a first for ConVal, the event was also live-streamed on YouTube so that extended families could attend online. Over 300 viewers took advantage of this new option, some from as far away as Florida and Hawaii.
Salutatorian Mather Kipka and Valedictorian Casey Jordan delivered addresses to the Class of 2020. A special moment during the commencement ceremonies was the speech by Social Studies teacher Greg Leonard congratulating Shannon Allen who received the 2020 ConVal Faculty and Staff Award. After the award speech, diplomas were distributed and Hunter Luke gave the Farewell Address.
Rosie Crooker and Reid Wilson served as the Class Marshalls for the event which was also attended by the class advisors Jennifer Kiley and Jim Wickham.
Congratulations, Class of 2020!

"These informal meet and greets proved very beneficial," said McKillop. "In all, we had over 40 families RSVP and drive up through the bus loop to join me curbside for physically distanced conversations."
"Seeing so many smiling faces truly makes me excited to begin the school year together in September," she noted. "I appreciated getting to meet so many students and families as well as getting to respond to their specific questions." Many of the questions revolved around ConVal's school reopening plans in September.
"For those of you I have not yet met, please know that I look forward to welcoming you to the high school in the near future," McKillop concluded.

Thank you for all your support during these challenging times for everyone. As you look over the plans for the upcoming school year, please know that we will be working on many areas as we gather more information about how to manage the virus.
Our number one goal is to make sure that we have a safe environment for our students and staff. We will focus on following all the safety protocols that have been given to the schools from the CDC.
The next goal would be to get our students back into the learning environment whether one chooses remote or in person learning at this time.
Finally, we will work on the areas such as extra-curricular to see how those can be managed in a safe environment. We know how important all the sports and extra offerings are to our students.
Please find attached a powerpoint to review some of SMS highlights for the 20-21 school year.
Please click here to open SMS Powerpoint
If you still have any questions,I will be available for an in person parent meeting on August 6 at 5pm in the ConVal HS gym and in Zoom at 6pm. If you plan to attend one of the two meetings and you haven’t already signed up, please do so in the link below.
Again, thank you for your patience at this time as we plan for the 20-21 school year.

Addendum: The original plan to create student cohorts in the Blue & Gold Reopening Model was based on an alphabetical sort. In response to feedback from the community, the plan that was approved by the ConVal School Board in the meeting on August 4 now foresees the creation of cohorts based on geographical location — Blue Cohort: students from Antrim, Bennington, Francestown, Greenfield, and Hancock; Gold Cohort: students from Dublin, Peterborough, Sharon, and Temple.
To further discuss the reopening plan, there are community meetings scheduled for Thursday, August 6, at 7:00 pm and for Friday, August 7, at 10:00 am. Each meeting offers an in-person option in the ConVal gym, followed by a Zoom meeting online.
Please email Lisa Pelkey at lpelkey@conval.edu to RSVP.

Mental health conditions like depression and anxiety have been either triggered or made worse by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, particularly for those who had existing psychiatric conditions.
In early July, two ConVal rising seniors had launched a letter-writing campaign urging the ConVal School Board to enact better mental health policies.
The letter called upon the administration to budget for more available mental health professionals, to welcome established Title IX reporting processes, and to focus on providing resources for struggling students.
This first meeting marked the beginning of a long-term dialogue that will include student voices in developing effective strategies as ConVal makes mental health and well-being a district priority.

Since the end of the 2019-2020 school year, the ConVal School Board has been working collaboratively with the district administration and a variety of committees made up of building administrators, staff, teachers, and community members to plan for the reopening of the District for 2020-2021.
In order to keep you informed about this comprehensive group effort, which is being undertaken by over 120 individuals throughout the summer, we have put together an overview document entitled COVID Reopening Communication. The .pdf file outlines which committees have been formed, what their focus areas are, and what fundamental principles are used to guide the work.
Over the coming weeks and months, we intend to keep you updated at regular intervals about the reopening plan and its implementation. Please check this space for future updates.

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!

The following video presentation is dedicated to all those in the ConVal community who, in the words of one ConVal School Board member, organized "the absolutely superb, professional, timely, and unflagging response of the entire ConVal team during this unprecedented challenge."
"No words can express our pride and gratitude for all you were able to make happen for the children of ConVal in such trying times," noted another. "We realize that your own lives had been turned upside down as well and to try to create calm, confidence, creativity, and commitment to your students went above and beyond."
One board member reflected on the exceptional "devotion to students, teaching, and ethic of care" demonstrated by faculty, staff, and support personnel: "What you have done is truly remarkable, and I am in awe of how you have all stepped up to the challenge!"
Other board members remarked on the teachers' firm focus on students, despite the unsettling developments precipitated by the pandemic: "You always kept the ConVal kids in the center of your vision, and didn’t let go," observed one. "I have heard many stories told by students, parents, and school leaders about your dedication and the beyond-the-call-of-duty efforts you made on behalf of students this spring," wrote another. "Please wear your pride openly this summer, both as an individual and as part of a conscientious and devoted team."
"As we all know, leadership can make a difference," commented another member of the Board. "In ConVal’s case, we are truly blessed with a dedicated, responsive, and capable leadership team."
Please enjoy this presentation and take pride in the tremendous work you all have accomplished.

In representing all in the ConVal School District, the ConVal School Board would like to express our sincerest appreciation to our parents, guardians, and students for your incredible patience and flexibility as we conclude the 2019-2020 school year.
We understand the enormous responsibility and challenges that Remote Learning placed on parents, guardians, and students as you had to create time, space, routine, and support for learning at home. We realize that all of our families are experiencing a difficult time and that there are many other needs, in addition to student learning, that are critical as we work through this crisis together.
We are so thankful to our families and students for all the amazing gestures of kindness and generosity we keep reading about. From donating to food banks, sewing masks, thanking first responders, doctors and nurses. Writing notes of gratitude to teachers, staff, bus drivers, and food service workers. Sending videos and slideshows of students singing songs, creating art, performing science projects, or just to cheer up those around them.
We honor all of you and your acts of generosity and kindness, patience and resilience, and the fortitude and determination you have demonstrated.
Together, we are ConVal.
With sincere thanks,
The ConVal School Board

Good Morning ConVal Community,
After much consideration, the ConVal Regional High School administrative team and the Class of 2020 officers have reached a decision regarding prom.
We know the topic of prom has been weighing heavily on everyone’s minds. Over these past few months, we have worked tirelessly to find a way to safely host this event for the class. However, we regret to inform you that prom has been canceled in the interest of everyone’s health and wellbeing. We have come to this decision after much deliberation with students and staff over how we could safely hold this event. While current restrictions issued by Governor Sununu’s office would allow for the event to occur at half capacity, individuals not of the same family would still have to be six feet apart, and all attendees would need to wear face masks. These restrictions would not allow for activities such as dancing to occur.
The Class of 2020 officers will continue to look into all available options to hold an event in the future or to put the class’s funds to good use. You can stay updated on their plans by following the class Instagram account, @conval2020.
In partnership,
Michelle Voto, Principal, ConVal Regional High School
Jadyn Vaidya, Senior Class President
Hunter Luke, Senior Class Vice President
Liam McCall, Secretary
Zoe Werth, Treasurer
Jennifer Kiley, Senior Class Adviser
James Wickham, Senior Class Adviser

The screening will take place online on Friday, May 29, and coincides with ConVal's last day of school of the 2019-2020 school year.
Launched in 2008 and presented by the New Hampshire Film Bureau, the annual New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival has become one of the marquee film festivals in the state, fostering interest in filmmaking, supporting media arts education, and rewarding future members of the industry for their craft.
The festival screens a two-hour program of selected films. Films submitted for consideration are previewed and scored by a festival selection committee. Originality, cinematic storytelling, and technical execution are the primary basis of the scoring.
All films, regardless of type or genre, are judged on the filmmaker’s ability to effectively captivate an audience through cinematic expression.

The test compares students in German level 1 across the entire country.
Congratulations to the following ConVal Regional High School students:
- Gold Award: Kara Keiper
- Silver Awards: Audra Kratzenberg, Eva McCullough, Kendall Sullivan, Jack Craig, Abigail Towers, Logan Decker, Jarrett Wohle
- Bronze Award: Lydia Cleveland
- Achievement Awards: Donovan Sweeney, Sarah Holdredge, Avery Swasey
"We are extremely proud of how all of our students did," said Frau Hodgdon and Frau Concannon. "These results are tremendous, considering the students had not had German in 4 months. We know the future of the German program at ConVal is bright!"
The National German Exam is administered each year to nearly 25,000 high school students of German. Normally given in February, this year the testing window was extended to May 15 due to the shift to remote instruction in school systems across the country.

Each May, as sunny days multiply and the end of the school year is just around the corner, sustaining students’ attention to schoolwork becomes more challenging.
A recent survey of ConVal parents and teachers reflects this annual phenomenon, but also shows that there is still a high level of student engagement with their remote learning activities – 80% of parents and teachers say that students are “engaged” to “highly engaged” with remote learning.
The latest survey was sent to parents and teaching staff on May 1; more than 900 responses were received. ConVal Superintendent Kimberly Rizzo Saunders has summarized the survey results in her “Weekly Update” sent to families and staff on May 8th. You can see the Weekly Update by clicking here.
Good Communication; Manageable Workload. The May survey reports parent and staff responses to multiple-choice questions and records “comments” that respondents add to provide detail. Parent and staff responses to questions about teacher-student communication have been substantially favorable and consistent with results from the first version of the survey administered in early April. Parents give high marks to teacher-parent communication and the teachers express appreciation of good communication by Administrators. Most parents feel that their children are managing the workload for classes, with 85% of respondents sharing that their children were managing “well” to “extremely well.” The shift to four days of instruction has been positive for most families as well as for teachers. Most parents find the challenge-level of assigned work to be appropriate, though, consistent with the April survey, some parents feel there is too little work or that the work is too easy, while a similar percentage say the workload is too heavy and the work too difficult. Additionally, some parents have asked for more small-group or one-to-one interactions with the classroom teacher.
Isolation. Parents were asked to identify areas of additional need. Emotional support for students was far and away the highest priority for parents. Their added comments highlight the social isolation children are experiencing. Some parents are seeking more resources to address children’s social-emotional needs and mental health as well as more online supervised social interaction opportunities for students. In immediate recognition of the need expressed the ConVal school counseling team reviewed emotional support resources that could be recommended to parents. Lists of those resources are available on the ConVal website through the “Remote Learning” tab at convalsd.net.
Technology Challenges. Another parent concern is for support with the remote learning technology. A low, but important, percentage of families still have problems in connecting to the remote learning platforms and in using the various tools. Comments about technology indicate connectivity issues when multiple family members are online, as well as a need for more information about using digital resources, especially Google Classroom. The convalsd.net “Remote Learning” site has information on use of remote learning tools. Despite our best efforts, which have included deploying hundreds of hotspots from both Verizon and US Cellular, internet access continues to be a challenge for some families. Access to devices is growing, as is the ability to stream videos.
If You Need Help. Superintendent Saunders emphasizes that if a family does not have access to a device or the internet to please reach out; ConVal will work with each family to attempt to resolve access and device issues. Also, if a child is struggling academically or emotionally, she encourages parents to communicate directly with their child’s teacher, school counselor, or the principal for suggestions for help.
As Kimberly Saunders noted in her conclusion, “We Are ConVal, and we are ready, willing, and able to assist you as we wind down our school year.”

Dear South Meadow School Administration, Teachers, Staff, Parents, Guardians, and Students,
Many of you know me, but my name is Tod Silegy, and I am the Athletic Director at South Meadow School.
I am writing this letter to the entire SMS community, but specifically to the 2019-2020 South Meadow School Athletes, Managers, Parents, and Guardians.
I am personally inviting you to the 2019-2020 South Meadow School Virtual Athletic Awards Ceremony. It should be fun! All athletes and managers that played a fall or winter sport for SMS should attend.
The date is May 27th, and the time is 2:00 PM. Please check your email for the copy of this letter with the link to Zoom. (If you can not locate, please contact jbennett@conval.edu for the link.) You can start joining the ceremony at 1:50. Mr. Conway will be letting you in. If you can, one computer only per family please.
This year’s athletic awards ceremony will be a lot different than usual, due to the fact that we cannot hold this GREAT event in the SMS gym. This year I will be the only presenter. I have collected information from each coach on how the team did with highlights, and I will read it to you by sport. In the end I will announce that team’s individual award recipients. When all the teams are recognized I will announce the 8th grade Male and Female Athletes of the Year, and the 8th grade Male and Female Unsung Athletes of the Year.
See you on May 27th at 2:00 PM!
Thank you,
Mr. Sil
