Superintendent's Message

Solar Eclipse
 

If you have not heard, there will be a solar eclipse on April 8th starting around 2:20 PM and ending around 4:20 PM in Gilford.  Our dismissal time happens while the eclipse is happening and we want to make sure everyone is safe during the eclipse.  If parents or guardians want to experience this event with their child they may dismiss their learner(s) early. Please use the school dismissal protocol that is always used and this will be recorded as excused.  We understand that this event may be something that you would want to enjoy with your child.  


In Gilford we can expect a period of time, approximately at 3:30 PM, that will be dark.  During that time of darkness the temperature will be dropping as well.  We want parents, guardians and learners to be prepared for this extraordinary event and be prepared for the darkness and the temperature change.  We will provide specialized glasses for learner eye protection and ask that families discuss dressing in layers on April 8th so that learners are prepared for the drop in temperature.


It is important that people not look directly at the sun during this event unless they have specialized glasses. We will be handing out glasses to learners but want to make sure parents and guardians have that conversation with their learner about not looking directly at the sun unless they have a pair of the specialized glasses on.  All learners on the bus at the time of the event will have glasses that we distribute.


If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to the building principal.


Respectfully,

Kirk Beitler
Superintendent of Schools

Fingerprinting for Volunteers and Chaperones

The Gilford School District welcomes volunteers in our schools.

A fingerprint background check is required in all Gilford schools for individuals, volunteers and chaperones engaged in the following activities:

  • classroom volunteers

  • chaperones on field trips

  • assisting at school activities such as dances, plays and concerts

  • volunteer coach

Once a thorough background investigation and criminal records check is complete with no disqualifying records and the volunteer has completed orientation, the volunteer will be issued an identification badge to be worn every time the volunteer works in the school.  

Fingerprint clinics are scheduled at the SAU office located at 2 Belknap Mountain Road.  A photo ID is required for identification.  


The process takes approximately 30 minutes. A photo will be taken for the ID badge.

_____________________________________________________

Anyone who volunteers in the Gilford School District must complete an annual Volunteer Affidavit and Confidentiality Agreement.  

Volunteers who have already been issued an ID badge and would like a new badge for the 2023-2024 school year need to complete the Volunteer Affidavit and Confidentiality Agreement and submit to the SAU office. Every four years volunteers will need to go through the background investigation and criminal records check at the SAU office.

Volunteer Affidavit

Confidentiality Agreement

The form can be printed, completed and submitted to the SAU.  Forms can be emailed to [email protected]

Gilford School District policies JFABD (Admission of Homeless Students), ACAC (Title IX Sexual Harassment) and JICK (Bullying and Cyberbullying) must be reviewed annually by all volunteers.  Click here to review the policies.
