The Pittsfield School District is monitoring the track and potential impacts of Hurricane Irene very closely as it approaches New Hampshire.

On Monday, a district wide teacher workshop day and orientation for seventh and ninth grade students is scheduled to take place.  We are trying to plan ahead as best we can with the current unpredictability of the storm and will do our best to keep you up to date with any scheduling changes that may take place due to Hurricane Irene.

If severe weather causes us to cancel the teacher workshop day and orientation on Monday, August 29, 2011, the first day of school will be pushed back one day.   We will be holding that teacher workshop day and orientation BEFORE the first day of school.  Therefore, the first day of school would be pushed back one day to Wednesday, August, 31, 2011.

If severe weather causes two days of cancellations in the district, the first day of school will be Thursday, September 1, 2011.

Severe weather may hinder our communication process if internet, phone, and power service is interrupted.  Please check WMUR for cancellation information, along with this website for continued updates.

As many Pittsfield folks know, the Pittsfield School District was awarded a planning grant from the Nellie Mae Education Foundation back in December to support the transformation of our middle high school from a traditional school to a student-centered learning environment.

Since that time, our Community Advisory Council, which includes many community members and community educators who have been appointed by our School Board, has developing a multi-year plan for this transformation.  We have been researching effective educational practices and visiting successful, break-the-mold schools to learn how we can better serve our students and community.

Eventually, our plan will be submitted to the Nellie Mae Education Foundation with the hope that the Foundation will fund the transformation plan over six-years to help us create a student-centered education for all Pittsfield students.  We will submit our plan next October and learn about the awards in this highly-competitive process in December.      (more…)

First Day of school is August 30, 2011.
