Dear NHS Families,
You may have noticed some recent upgrades to our entry doors. We installed a new front entry door and new gym lobby doors to replace the aging doors. As part of our long term maintenance plans, we also replaced the gym divider curtain to enable us to continue to divide the gym when needed for 2 PE classes at once.

Cook Center Resources Available to Parents

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.
