I have been in communication with Nashua PD and our Security Director regarding Arrival and Dismissal. It will be important that you remain patient as we adjust our procedures. This is to ensure ALL students, families, and staff are safe when entering the school building.

Families that would like to continue to bring students to arrival doors, please remain parking on Arlington Street or the Arlington Street Community Center. Dr. Crisp Parking lot is for STAFF ONLY and Car Pool Lane.

Drop off and Pick up/School Hours:

School hours are 8:00 AM to 2:40 PM. Your child will be marked absent/tardy if they come in after the 8:15 AM bell. More information on drop off and pick up procedures will be sent as we approach the start of school.

Early Release Days:

The district this year re-implemented Early Release days. On early release days students are dismissed 2 hours before their normal time, so they would be dismissed at 12:40PM. The early release days for this 2023-2024 school year are: October 18, December 13, March 12, and May 15.

Healthy School:

Dr. Crisp is a healthy school which means healthy meals and snacks for your children. Please refer to the policy if you have any questions on the Nashua.edu website.

Communication:

We are trying to cut down on the amount of paper we send home to families. The district's goal is to do everything electronically. Which means, student information update forms to be done on-line, report cards, etc.
