603 Bright Futures Survey

The New Hampshire Department of Education wants to hear from you. The 603 Bright Futures Survey is an opportunity for you to have your voice heard. These surveys will gather actionable feedback around learning models, school climate, family and community engagement, and other topics in order to understand the successes and challenges of the recent school year and plan for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. We have partnered with Panorama Education to support us with the 603 Bright Futures Survey. If you have any questions about the survey program, please reach out to Panorama at support+nhed@panoramaed.com.

Survey questions were developed with input from a cohort of school leaders and should take no longer than 15 minutes to complete. The survey window runs from March 13 to April 28.

For Read Across America Week, Northwood School was visited Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat. During his visit, the Cat read his favorite book, “The Cat in the Hat” to the students in Kindergarten - 2nd grade. Fortunately for the custodial crew, Thing 1 and Thing 2 did not make an appearance! When he left, the Cat told Mr. Drolet the students at Northwood School are very polite and demonstrated great listening skills. He said that he can’t wait to come back next year!
