Parent-Teacher Conferences
We will be about halfway through Trimester 2 in mid-February. We will have parent conferences on Feb. 14th as well as other times during the week. Students will have an early release day on Feb. 14th. Teachers will send out notices about how to sign up for conference times. We value the opportunity to meet with parents to discuss student progress. Parents can choose to meet in person or have a virtual conference.
The Little Mermaid
Rehearsals begin next week for the Middle School production of “The Little Mermaid.” Cast members have their schedules and the practicing begins! You can come see the play April 5th, 6th, or 7th! As Sebastian says, “We got no troubles. Life is the bubbles. Under the sea!” We can always count on a great production at NHS!

Message from North Hampton Public Library
The North Hampton Library staff asked us to send this information out to parents. They love having your children visit the library, but also need to enforce their policies so that the library is a safe and happy place for all visitors. Please read it carefully and check out their policy on children in the library.
Children under the age of eleven (11) may not be left unattended at the library unless that child is attending a library program that specifically states that participating children do not have to have a parent in attendance with them. A child is unattended if a parent is not present with the child at all times while in the library.
At the discretion of a parent, a child aged eleven (11) to thirteen (13) may be left unattended for up to 2 hours as long as the child knows how to reach a parent in case the need arises. Children may not be left longer than two hours; the library does not provide child care services.
