Special Education Parent Involvement Survey
The New Hampshire Department of Education (NHED) is conducting its annual Parent Involvement survey for parents of students who receive special education services. This survey assesses how eﬀectively school districts engage families to improve services for children with disabilities.

Why should you take the survey?

Share your experience to strengthen parent-school partnerships.

Ensure your district and state hear what matters to families.

Higher participation means more accurate results.

This survey will only take a few minutes to complete.

Please complete one survey for each child you have receiving special education services. All responses are anonymous. Click here to display the survey QR code and take the survey.

Eyes & Skies!
Our scientists have been busy exploring the wonders of the human body and the mysteries of the atmosphere. Here is a look at what they've been up to:

The 4th graders explored the mechanics of vision, specifically:

The Pupil: How it acts as a gateway for light

The Retina: How it captures light and "talks" to the brain.

To bring this to life, the 4th-grade students built eye models using magnifiers and light sources to replicate exactly how our eyes process the world around us. It was an "eye-opening" experience!

The 2nd and 3rd graders have been keeping their heads in the clouds - literally! They've been mastering the Water Cycle and the science of cloud formation through two hands-on experiments:

Gas Cloud: They used warm water to see how water vapor transforms into misty clouds.

Shaving Cream Models: They used shaving cream "clouds" and colored water to see how precipitation happens. Seeing the "Rain" break through the cloud and fall into the water below made the water cycle click for everyone!

One School, One Book - Week 2 Activities
Week two of activities for our One School, One Book program was full of joyful sound. Inspired by Louis the Swan's journey to find his voice through a trumpet, we were lucky enough to have student trumpet players from South Meadow School serenade us. TES students had thoughtful questions to help them understand how a trumpet works and how it creates sound.

TES students then had the opportunity to explore sounds from jars with different water levels, listen to bird calls, and draw in their journals while listening to the sounds of nature.

Students also had the opportunity to make trumpets using tubes and wax paper, and maracas using plastic eggs and rice.

We love watching the students learn and grow while enjoying the activities.

One School, One Book Week One Activities
We are well underway in our One School, One Book program and had so much to discuss after the first three chapters of The Trumpet of the Swan.

Our first week of activities focused on Nature, Belonging, and Observation. Students explored how nests and eggs vary in size—from the Trumpeter Swan’s nest, which can span 6–12 feet, to the tiny Bee Hummingbird’s nest, just one inch across. They made bookmarks, created nature journals, and started a Wonder Wall for students to put their curious questions about nature.

Inspired by Louis’s challenge in the story, students also explored different ways to communicate and had the opportunity to learn some basic sign language at one of the activity stations.

Great fun was had by all, building excitement for next week’s activities, when we turn our focus to sound.
