Good Morning Londonderry, Families and Community!
Below is a link to my first Video Newsletter of this 2026-27 School Year. This video is focused on my “Academic Update” for the School District. We have shared a lot over the last few years just how well our schools are doing based on State and National Assessments. Those outcomes are important, but what we should really celebrate as a community is all the hard work done by our staff to get us to the point of being State Leaders in New Hampshire. There was a lot of internal work that got us to this point, and what I highlight is the combination of five areas that have led our schools, teacher teams, and individual classrooms to this place. I believe it is the mixture of the five practices below that helped us reach this point. Our staff has . . .
- Adopted New or Updated their Current Curriculum
- Adopted New Instructional Practices
- Raised Expectations of Student Achievement
- Built Highly Collaborative Teacher Teams
- Decided Good Outcomes on these Tests are Important

I hope you enjoy this information on our wonderful Londonderry Schools!
