Bells Across America happens every September 17 at 4 PM EDT at the Grace Community Church in Canaan, VT. It is the time and date that the Constitution was completely signed in 1791. In some places it also honors first responders that come when we need them and put their lives on the line for us. In the Northeast Kingdom, the Saint John de Crevecoeur Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, partners with communities to participate in Bells Across America.
We would truly appreciate it if you would share this opportunity with your students and staff members. Refreshments will be made available, to include April's Maple soup/chili, sides, and sweet treats. Of course, you can hike and play disc golf while you are there, as well as participate in some art stations that will be set up which should be fun for all ages! RSVPs will be greatly appreciated for amounts of food needed.
Please let me know if you need more information or have any questions, and hope to see many people of all ages attend!

Welcome back! We hope you had a wonderful summer and are enjoying these last days before school gets underway. We’re excited for the year ahead and look forward to welcoming our students back!
As school gets started, we wanted to share a few quick reminders.
Vermont’s New Cell Phone Policy
Vermont has new requirements for student use of cell phones and personal electronic devices during the school day. Schools are now required to have policies limiting the use of these devices from arrival through dismissal, with some exceptions.
If you need to reach your child during the school day, please contact their school office rather than relying on their cell phone. For specific reasons, there are exceptions
A Few Other Reminders
● Attendance: Regular attendance and being on time make a big difference. Please follow your child’s school procedures for reporting absences.
● School Calendars: Canaan Schools Choice schools have different calendars and schedules. Please refer to your child’s school calendar for important dates throughout the year.
● Contact Information: Please make sure your contact and emergency information is current with your Canaan school.
● Stay Connected: Keep an eye on emails and other communications from your child’s school for updates and important information.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We’re looking forward to a wonderful 2026–2027 school year and all that it will bring!
Welcome back, and here’s to a great year!
Warmly,
Elaine Sherry Superintendent Essex-Northeast Supervisory Union (ENSU)
This group offers a supportive space for adoptive and guardianship caregivers to share the challenges and successes they experience while raising youth across developmental stages. Caregivers have the opportunity to connect with others who have shared experiences, gain support, and exchange strategies in a welcoming environment.
Please feel free to share this opportunity widely with families and community partners who may benefit. Contact information for referrals and questions is included on the flyer.
Thank you for helping us spread the word!
