The New Hampshire Department of Education wants to hear from staff, families, and community members.   The 603 Bright Futures Survey is an opportunity for you to have your voice heard. These surveys will gather feedback around learning, school climate, family and community engagement, and parent involvement in special education. Parents completing the survey should complete it once for each child.

The New Hampshire Department of Education  hopes to gain insight regarding the successes and challenges of the recent school year and to plan for the 2021-2022 school year. The Department of Education has partnered with Panorama Education to implement the 603 Bright Futures Survey. The survey will remain open until June 30.

Please use the following link to access the survey. Your feedback is valuable.

Introducing the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program

 Introducing the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program

At the end of last year, Congress established the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program. On February 25, the FCC adopted an order to implement the program designed to help low-income households and households that have suffered a substantial loss of income to connect to the Internet and stay connected during the COVID-19 crisis.

The Benefit Includes up to $50/month discount for broadband service from any participating Internet service provider, including Comcast, and is limited to one monthly service discount per eligible household. Both new and existing customers who qualify can take advantage of the Federal government broadband subsidy. The subsidy can be applied to any tier of Xfinity Internet, including Internet Essentials. Internet Essentials customers automatically qualify and will just need to enroll.

New customers should start by confirming their eligibility through the federal National Verifier, at The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (getemergencybroadband.org).

For more details about the program, please check the following links.

• Emergency Broadband Benefit - Xfinity EBB Internet Credit by Comcast
• T-Mobile
• The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (getemergencybroadband.org) 

The Bedford School District does not administer this program - you should work directly with Comcast or your Internet Provider. Most of our families do use Comcast, but because this program is nationwide, other providers should also be participating, including the mobile providers.

Face Masks To Be Worn in Bedford School District. (posted 04.16.21)

 April 15, 2021

Dear Bedford Families-

On Thursday, Governor Sununu announced at a press conference that New Hampshire's face mask mandate would expire without renewal on April 16th. The mask mandate began in November; however, the Bedford School District has required masks for students and staff the entire school year. 

All of the Bedford schools will continue to require face mask use. As the Governor stated, “(mask wearing) is just a good idea. It is recommended by Public Health. We are strongly behind that message.”

The health and safety of our students and staff continues to be a priority. Wearing face masks has proven to be an effective practice in preventing the spread of Covid-19. Feel free to contact me or your child(ren)’s principal with any questions.

Sincerely,

Tom Laliberte

Assistant Superintendent

No School Tuesday, February 16, 2021. (posted 02.16.21)

 Dear Bedford Families ~

The Bedford School District will be CLOSED today due to ice and freezing rain on the roads of Bedford.  I had hoped that a delay would be sufficient for the roads to be safe for travel.  However, the ice line is moving more slowly than expected.  Therefore, safe travel for buses is unlikely.  Since there is no snow today, I would encourage our students to finish up incomplete work, check for missing work, and get caught up, if needed.  Otherwise, we will be back in business on Wednesday, February 17th.

If you have to go out, please drive safely.

Mike (Superintendent)
