Good Morning, WMRSD Families,
As you may have heard, WMRHS was closed to staff and students early this morning. Sometime during the night hours, an individual left a voicemail that contained a bomb threat directed at the school.
One of our staff members who regularly checks messages at 5:00 am alerted us about the message.
We worked collaboratively with the Whitefield PD and the NH State Police to develop a response to the threat.
Staff and student safety were our number one concerns, therefore, we decided to cancel school in order for the NH State Police and the Canine Unit to search the building. Fortunately, nothing was found, and the HS has been cleared.
Although the threat did not involve the Whitefield or Lancaster Elementary Schools, they activated their scan protocols according to their Emergency Operation Plans.
The High School will remain closed for the day, and students will not have to make up the day given it was an emergency situation. We will be working with the HS Administration to develop a plan on how to address this threat with HS students.
As some of you know, today the HS juniors were scheduled to take the SAT exams. We will be making this up on April 10th.
If you have any questions, please call the Central Office directly.
Sincerely,
Marion Anastasia, Superintendent and Robert Scott, Assistant Superintendent

Taproot is looking for Assistant Counselors for their nature based summer camp.
Job Description - https://5il.co/2e6fl
Quote from prevous Asst. Counselor.
“I would say working at Taproot really helped me understand the value of early outdoor education in the sense of wellness and environmentalism. Working at camp helped me build a passion for outdoor education that I will likely carry with me as I search for future careers. Very few things are as rewarding as getting to work out in nature and help kids develop a love of the natural world.”
