Ellis School - SAU 83

We are happy to share that MySchoolBucks is back to running as it is expected to! Thanks to Mrs. Humes and Ms. Smith for their work to get it back on track!

3rd - 5th grade families! We don't want to miss out on the wonderful opportunity to bring Girls on the Run - New Hampshire to the Fremont Community! We are a few girls short to run the program, but you can sign up until September 17th. Please keep in mind that GOTR provides a sliding scale to cover the cost of registration and Ellis School has funds available should you need additional financial support. (feel free to reach out to Ms. Connelly at bconnelly@sau83.org)

We are so happy to report that our first through eighth grade students are happily nestled into their classrooms getting to know one another and learning about their new teachers! Thank you for your patience this morning as we tackled a mechanical issue with Bus #5 and a couple of first-day-of-school delays. I want to take a moment and acknowledge and thank Ashley and the entire team at Durham Bus Company. As you may notice, Ellis School and the Fremont District is incredibly lucky to not be impacted by the bus driver shortage that is occurring across the state and around the country. We have an incredible partnership and value the work of our drivers day in and day out. Thanks to each one of them for getting our students to and from Ellis safely!!

Good afternoon, Let's try this for real, this time! Sorry about the false start last night! Happy night-before-the-first-day-of-school for our first - eighth graders! We can't wait to see you tomorrow morning! A few important reminders: Please have your child at their designated bus stop at least 5 minutes ahead of the listed pickup time. The first two weeks of school our drivers are solidifying routes and having your child there a bit early ensures that no one misses the bus on those very important first days! All first through eighth grade students that are being dropped off, will come through the front entrance. Please form two car lines and keep your children in your car until you see a staff member wave, indicating that your child can hop out and wait for the bell. The tardy bell rings at 8:30. If you arrive after 8:30, please park, walk your child in through the main entrance and sign him/her in. The dismissal bell will ring at 3:05. Please do not arrive on campus for dismissal before 2:50. Students and staff are still using our playgrounds, fields and outdoor classrooms up until this point and we do not want to put their safety at risk.
