IMPORTANT - NEW - IN PERSON - COURSE OFFERINGS AT NADP!!!
Good afternoon, everyone. I hope you are all safe and healthy!
You are receiving this email if you are a current student of the Northumberland Adult Diploma program, you are the emergency contact of a student at the NADP, or you have expressed interest in the program we offer here at GHS to earn an alternative high school diploma.We are excited to offer some NEW in person courses, starting on Tuesday, March 8 here at Groveton High School. These courses are 10 weeks long, ending the week of May 17. The courses we are offering are:- Economics on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 - 4:30 PM, taught by one of our social studies teachers, Mr. Caleb Murphy
- Careers Explorations on Wednesdays from 3 - 6 PM, taught by our School Counselor, Mrs. Kelley Maclean
- In-Person Math on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:45 - 6:15, taught by our one of our High School Mathematics teachers, Mrs. Lisa Guay
**We will be adhering to the Coronavirus social distancing protocols as outlined by the CDC. Masks are required for entrance and movement with in the classroom, as well as when social distancing of less than 6 feet is possible. All precautions will be taken to ensure the safety of our teachers and students.**These courses REQUIRE registration BY TUESDAY, MARCH 2, and attendance will be mandatory - with exceptions made for illness as put forth by the CDC due to the Coronavirus pandemic.If you would like to find out more information about these IN PERSON COURSES, taught by an expert in his or her field here at GHS, please reach out to me ASAP!!We are offering in person courses to our students this spring because students had expressed a need for an in-person option vs. doing these courses online using our PLATO software.- Economics is a GRADUATION REQUIREMENT!! ALL students that graduate from the NADP need it, so this is a great alternative to doing it online on PLATO.
- The Careers Explorations class will work with students to explore career options, build resumes, brush up on job interviewing skills, and so on.
- Math is really difficult for people to learn online - and this class will build math skills, understanding of basic concepts, have students solve real life mathematics problems, and hopefully relieve some stress about learning mathematics in an alternative learning environment.
I look forward to hearing back from you all!--

Dear Educators,
Thank you, as always, for the great work you are doing under difficult circumstances. Across New Hampshire, most of our K-12 students are back in the classroom either full or part-time. Your experience with remote instruction has helped provide educational opportunities for students learning under a new hybrid model and for those who are still learning at home.
As students have adapted to remote instruction, they have improved their skills in self-directed online learning. This presents an opportunity to expand the choices we can offer them.
I am excited to announced a new partnership with Modern States Education Alliance to offer free, online courses, and free CLEP exams, giving New Hampshire high school students the chance to earn college credit at no cost. Modern States tuition-free online courses prepare students for the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams, which are accepted at 29,000 colleges and universities across the country, including the University System of New Hampshire and New Hampshire Community College System. Through our new partnership, Modern States will pay the $89 CLEP exam fee and proctoring fee for the first 1,000 .New Hampshire students who complete their courses. That will save our students the equivalent of $1.5 million in post-secondary tuition. Under New Hampshire’s competency-based system, students who demonstrate mastery may also be able to earn high school credit for these courses.
This is a tremendous new resource for Granite State families, and I wanted to make sure you could offer it to your students. This is a way to supplement the classroom instruction you are already providing, while giving students the ability to earn college credits for free. Modern States’ offers 32 courses, including foreign languages, math, science, English and economics. Courses are self-paced and designed to prepare students to pass the corresponding CLEP exam. There are six locations across New Hampshire where students can take the exams. The free, online courses are taught by professors from universities such as MIT, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Rutgers, and George Washington.
You can learn more, including the complete list of 32 college-level courses, at https://modernstates.org/course/. I encourage you share this tremendous new resources with your students, giving them a chance to put their skills at self-directed online learning to work toward free college credit.
Thank you!
