Early Dismissals:
Students are not called to the office before a parent arrives. As soon as you check in at the window, we will call your child down.
Bus Changes:
Parents/guardians must contact First Student directly to request the change. First Student
will then inform the Dover Middle School office of the updated arrangements. You can reach First Student at (603) 692-4406. They require 24 hours’ notice to be able to approve and communicate the change. Notes are not accepted from students.
Parking:
If you are dropping your child off in the morning, please do not park in the main parking lot. Numerous families have been here early and waiting in the lot, which is preventing our staff from having somewhere to park. The cafeteria opens at 6:55 and all early students can enter the building through those doors at that time.
Student Drop Off and Pick Up
Please do not park in the bus loop at the main entrance during 7:00-7:30 AM or 2:00-2:20 PM. We have several buses that utilize this area during those times.
End 68 Hours of Hunger:
We hope everyone is having a smooth transition back into school. We wanted to inform those who are new to the district as well as a reminder to those returning to us this year of our end 68 hours of hunger program. The 68 Hours program is a food program that each household and every student has access too. Once a week on Thursday (or earlier depending on Holiday and break schedule) the students come down at the end of the day to receive their bag(s) of groceries. The food items are non-perishables such pastas, cereal, canned goods, peanut butter, and other pantry food items. If you are interested in having your household participate, please contact your student’s counselor, and let them know. We hope you have a fantastic school year.
