Dear North Hampton Families,

Spring weather
Spring weather can be fickle. It starts to get nice, then it’s chilly again. Please remind your children to check the lost and found and be sure to bring home items they may take off at recess when it warms up.
Spring weather can make us want summer! This is a friendly reminder about our school dress code. Students should dress for a learning environment. Here is the language from the student handbook:
Students may not wear clothing with writing, slogans, pictures, or symbols that are inappropriate (e.g. references to drugs, alcohol, sex, weapons, offensive language, violence etc.)
Students may not wear clothing that exposes undergarments or inappropriately exposes the body.
Midriffs and backs should be covered.
NHS Family Book Club A Success
The first NHS Family Book Club wrapped up this month with a pizza dinner and conversations about the books. Students and parents from 18 families participated in this first ever NHS Family Book Club offering. Look for round 2 soon. Mrs. McCombs is planning for more reading fun!

Providing we don’t have any more snow days, the last day of school for students will be Friday, June 13th with a 12:00 dismissal time.

The Jaggy Awards are Coming…April 18th
If you are new to NHS, you may wonder, “What are the Jaggy Awards?”
They are a celebration of reading in an awards show format…think the Oscars! We have a red carpet for students and staff to walk. Of course, we go all out to be dressed up for the Jaggy’s and hope to have plenty of paparazzi and “Mom” -arazzi to take pictures and see us all enter. We typically do a red carpet walk outside from the gym lobby doors to the front doors. Due to space restrictions, the actual event can only accommodate students and staff in the cafeteria. During library times, students can vote on favorite titles, authors, characters, books made into movies and more. The categories vary by grade level. The winners are then announced at the Jaggy’s. (Spoiler alert…the Wimpy Kid has been cleaning up the past few years.)
Here is a video to give you an idea of the categories:
