603 Bright Futures Survey-NHDOE
Dear Families,
The New Hampshire Department of Education wants to hear from you. The 603 Bright Futures Survey is an opportunity for you to have your voice heard. These surveys will gather actionable feedback around learning models, school climate, family and community engagement, and other topics in order to understand the successes and challenges of the recent school year and plan for the upcoming 2021-2022 school year. We have partnered with Panorama Education to support us with the 603 Bright Futures Survey. If you have any questions about the survey program, please reach out to Panorama at support+nhdoe@panoramaed.com
The 603 Bright Futures Survey is also how schools will gather their Special Education Family data in support of the NHDOE’s federal reporting for Indicator 8. This year, all schools and families are eligible to participate. Please feel free to share the survey with your community.
The survey window runs from June 1 through June 30.

2021-2022 School Year Announcement
As we move closer to the end of the 2020-2021 school year the Hinsdale School Board would like to inform the school community of our intentions for the 2021-2022 school year.
At this point, based on current COVID trends and the availability of a vaccine, it is our intention to return to all in-person learning for the next school year. At this time we are not planning to have the option for remote learning. The education of our students and the ability of our staff to provide the highest level of instruction are optimal when in-person learning is provided. We will revisit this plan as needed and if circumstances change, we will be prepared to make adjustments to ensure, to the best of our ability, quality education for our students and the health and safety of our entire school community.
We know that this has been a challenging year for everyone and we thank you all for your efforts!
We are excited to welcome all of our school community back to an in-person learning environment and are looking forward to a safe, healthy, and productive 2021-2022 school year. Thank you and have a wonderful holiday weekend, reminder that there is school on Friday.
ReKindling Curiosity from NHDOE
The New Hampshire Department of Education is partnering with New Hampshire camps and school-age summer programs across the state to offer students the unique opportunity to move beyond COVID-19 and be a kid again. See the link below.

Welcome back from vacation mask reminder
A reminder that the Hinsdale School District expects students and staff to always wear a mask at school except at lunchtime, snack time, and during a scheduled mask break when more than 6 feet of distance is possible. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
2020-2021 Before/After School Survey
Any student participating in the morning or after-school programs offered by 21st CCLC (HASP) will be asked to participate in a non-academic survey in early May. Students in Grades 3-8 who regularly attend the program (before and or after school) will be asked to complete an online survey. The data is used by the NH Department of Education to evaluate our programs. This message is to notify parents or legal guardians of the non-academic survey or questionnaire and its purpose. Both of the surveys are posted here – one is for younger youth, one is for older youth.
Reminder about school meals
During this school year 2020-2021, all meals are free to students 18 and under.
