Dear Richards School Families,
This letter is to inform you that your child may have been exposed to Hand Foot and Mouth disease. HFMD is a common, mild, but contagious virus, and we want to inform you that we are currently experiencing cases at Richards School. The attached information, provided directly by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, outlines the symptoms and general guidance for families.
We are experiencing a significant increase in Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) cases throughout our building. Both students and staff members have contracted the virus, and we want to ensure you have the information needed to monitor your family's health and help prevent further spread.
Please know that we are taking proactive steps to keep our students and staff healthy. Our team is deep cleaning and blue-lighting all classrooms and throughout the entire building to help prevent further spread. Blue light cleaning uses visible light at specific wavelengths to kill bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms on surfaces by creating reactive oxygen species inside microbial cells, it's safe for continuous use around people.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 603-865-9429
Thank you for your continued support.
We are proud to announce that Sutton Martzolf earned an award in the “What Winter Means to You” Art Contest for 6th grade, hosted by Mount Sunapee Resort. Her artwork was selected to be featured in the main lodge gallery to represent Newport Middle School, where it will be on public display.
Sutton attended the Artist Reception last Tuesday, where student artists were celebrated for their creativity and hard work. Her piece beautifully captured the spirit of winter and stood out for its thoughtful interpretation and craftsmanship.
Congratulations, Sutton, on this outstanding accomplishment! We are so proud of you and thrilled that your artwork is being shared with the community.
Come meet Author & Illustrator Marty Kelley at our Holiday Book Night on December 5th from 4:30-6 PM! Wrap a free book for your student and enjoy a delicious, free pizza dinner. This event is sponsored by CLiF.
