8th Grades Students will be taking the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on Tuesday, March 17
2026.

Your child will/may take a mathematics or reading assessment. In addition to subject-area questions, students voluntarily complete NAEP survey questions. These questions provide valuable information about participating students’ educational experiences and opportunities to learn both in and outside of the classroom. More information about NAEP survey questions is available at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/parents under the section “Survey Questionnaires & Your Student: What You Need to Know.”

The assessment takes about 120 minutes for most students, which includes transition time, directions, and completion of survey questions.

There is no need to study in preparation for NAEP, but please encourage your child to do their best, get a good night sleep, eat a well-balanced breakfast, and arrive to school on time.

Please contact Aaron Nason at 603-522-8891 or at aaron.nason@sau101.org if you have any questions.

We are excited that our school is participating in NAEP. We know that Paul Elementary School’s students will show what our nation’s students know and can do.

The document outlines what a YES vote means and what a NO vote means so that residents have clear information about the impact of each outcome.

This information is being shared for awareness and transparency. The District does not take a position on how individuals should vote.

Our 100th day of school is coming up! Wednesday, February 11th (if there are no snow days before then) will be our 100th day! To include all students and staff we have decided to have two ways to celebrate. We will do our classic "dress like a 100 year old". We will also have a "100 days brighter" theme.
