Dear North Hampton Families,
It sure has been cold out this week! As I’m sure you know, we did have indoor recess a few times this week due to the extreme cold and windchill. Sometimes students don’t like wearing all their outdoor gear for recess, but if the temperature is below 25 degrees, students will need to have a hat, gloves, an outer layer, and their legs covered in order to go outside for recess. They can borrow items from the nurse’s office if they have forgotten them. They will be asked to stay indoors if they do not wear these items in the cold. When the ‘feels like’ temperature is below 10 degrees, we will have indoor recess.

Cardiac Screening Opportunity for Gr. 5-8
North Hampton School will be partnering with an organization called “Who We Play For” to offer cardiac screenings to students in grade 5-8 on Feb. 17, 2025. (See flyer at the bottom of this email for more details.) The cost for this screening is $20. If you would like to have your child screened, but need financial assistance, please let Nurse Mara know. An electrocardiogram is painless, non-invasive, and only takes 5 minutes to complete. Each ECG will be read by a board certified pediatric cardiologist. I will send reminders about this opportunity in January. All sign ups are online through the “Who We Play For” registration portal. Many thanks to Asst. Supt. Mary Toomey and the SAU 21 school nurses for bringing this to our school.
