BOX TOPS ARE GOING DIGITAL!
 Box tops have been a wonderful way for families to raise money for our schools. Since we started with the program, we have raised almost $45,000! That is A LOT of box tops!!
Box tops is making the process even easier. Now, with the help of a mobile app, all you need to do is scan your receipt within 14 days of purchase and your earnings will be automatically updated online.
Use this link to find out more information on the new program:
The traditional box tops are being phased out of production, but this will take time. We will still collect all your clipped box tops in the collection boxes at the schools as we have in the past.
Thank you for your help! Please contact Laura Wyskiel with any questions @ lwyskiel@comcast.net or 603.300.6556

June 2, 2020
Dear MSS and LSS Families,
We write this letter in support of our families of color and in recognition that recent national events involving acts of racism are painful to us all. This spring we worked with the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee to create a mission and vision statement that was reflective of the purpose and goals of the committee. The opening of that statements reads, “ Exeter School District is dedicated to creating and sustaining an inclusive school community where all families are welcomed and valued.” In order to be a place where families feel welcome and valued, we cannot remain silent when these events have such significant impact on our community. We have a shared responsibility to work toward a better tomorrow, where we foster positive social identity, a focus on empathy, and social justice. We encourage our families to take the time to have thoughtful conversations about race and identity. Conversation with kids about race, gender, sexuality, religion, and class are too often shushed or stopped all together. Engaging in these conversations is essential in ending discrimination. In this quick three minute episode of NPR and Sesame Workshop’s podcast for parents, experts discuss the importance of talking to kids about social identity. We hope you find this podcast and article helpful. We want all of our children to build a positive sense of identity and a healthy respect for other people’s identity. Sincerely, Steve Adler and Drew Bairstow. Listen to 3-minute NPR podcast HERE Read NPR article on talking to kids about race HERE Start

CMS Building Renewal Project! Due to changes in programming and staffing since opening in 1998, CMS has become overcrowded. Student programming is impacted by physical space limitations. The overarching goal of the project is to align changes in programming with the CMS building in a fiscally responsible manner while increasing student safety, and strengthening our students’ educational experiences.
