District News

The following document was presented to the School Board on December 7^th 2021. It maps out the plan the district office and building principals have put together on how we want to approach the pandemic as a school system later this winter. We hope to gain school board approval and community support for this plan. The document outlines the general plan to move towards optional mitigation strategies later this winter with all staff and students now having the opportunity to be vaccinated against COVID-19. We will update the school board and community on the findings of this plan over the next couple of board meetings as this plan progresses.

We have gotten many questions around what our Facemask Mitigation Matrix now looks like as a result of the November 9^th School Board Meeting. The following Matrix was adopted as a result of the School Board Vote that makes masking “universal” while Londonderry is under “substantial” community spread of COVID-19. We are currently under “substantial” spread as defined by the Department of Public Health.

To find Londonderry’s status in terms of community spread follow these steps:

1. Go to the following website – https://www.covid19.nh.gov/ – and choose “Interactive Dashboards”
2. In the next Menu choose “Maps”
3. You can choose any metric to update the maps, but first choose the 2^nd metric “Rate of New Cases per 100K Population (Last 14 Days)
4. Three updated Maps of New Hampshire will appear. The one on the far right sorts the data by town.
5. Hover over “Londonderry” to get Londonderry’s specific “Rate of New Cases per 100K Population (Last 14 Days) Any value above “100 Cases” is considered substantial spread by the Department of Public Health.
6. You can find many other metrics, but the other one we use in our Matrix is “PCR Test Positive Rate (Last 7 Days) Follow the same steps as above to find Londonderry specific data.

At their meeting on October 19, the School Board heard a presentation from administration regarding the options available to teachers when working with students who are out of school for extended periods of time. This presentation included the handout, linked below, that summarizes the ways in which teachers present learning material to students at various grade levels. We are posting it today in order to give parents a clearer picture of what is expected and available relative to learning beyond the school buildings. As was pointed out during the presentation, it is important that parents contact teachers or building administrators if they either require assistance in accessing learning material, or if for some reason their student has not been receiving that instructional material.
