Teacher Retirement Deadline Notice

Attention teachers considering retirement at the end of this school year!!!

Under Article 4.9A of the contract, in order to be eligible for your severance, you must submit a binding letter of retirement to the Superintendent no later than February 1, 2023.

Sample Retirement Letter

I would also suggest that you set up an appointment with the New Hampshire Retirement System.  In order to receive your severance, you must provide a copy of your first retirement check.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Our colleague, Bill Ivers, has written a play that is gaining international attention. It is currently on the short list being considered for a production at the prestigious Royal Court Theatre in London.

However, it is debuting at The Hatbox Theater in Concord, NH in February (Details below).  As an additional enticement, I am playing a small role as painter Bob Ross in it.

I wanted to let you know in case you could make it and see this terrific, funny, and thoughtful play.  Dates, times, and ticket info are in the poster JPEG below. I know this play is destined for big things.

Thanks,

Walt Freeman

Bill Ivers and Walt Freeman are both English teachers at Nashua High School North.
