Bishop Guertin Updates | 2026-27

Update 9.28.26

Dear Parent,

I hope that you had a terrific month of September. As we receive a bit of late-September rain to usher in the fall, I have a number of assorted topics.

ADDRESSING ACADEMIC DIFFICULTIES

Around a month into the school year, the newness of classes is starting to wear off and students are beginning to receive more assessments and grades. Our freshmen are transitioning and adjusting to academic expectations which may be higher than in middle school. Sophomores and juniors are adapting to courses that demand greater independence. And seniors are striving to begin the year strongly, while also completing their college applications. Many students are doing well; others are experiencing challenges. As October arrives, the stress level often increases.

This is a good time to check in with your student about their progress. If they have missing assignments on MyBG or low grades on assessments, now is the time to make adjustments before a couple of months of difficulties create a grade that is hard to pull back up. Please encourage your student to seek extra help directly from teachers, and do not hesitate to reach out to a teacher via email if your student seems stuck.

THE VALUE OF ACADEMIC CHALLENGES

Remember that, despite the fact that they cause stress, struggles and difficulties in the classroom are not a bad thing. They reflect growth opportunities that require students to develop their skills. This is how we each improve as learners and people. If a class is too easy, we don’t need to stretch and build our skills. This framing can be helpful to students, who often compare the work they are doing at Bishop Guertin to the work they could be doing in an easier course or school. Each of these opportunities is a chance to improve as a student, which provides preparation for college, the workplace, and life. It’s important to do the reading, to manage time, to develop strong study skills, and to actively practice math and languages. There are many shortcuts available, but these skills can only be learned through practice.

This is the time of year when we hear back from our recent graduates as they make their first visits from college. The first question I ask is always the same: “Were you prepared?” I have not had many (if any) Bishop Guertin graduates reply “no” over the years. Even if their college is difficult, they feel that they have the skills to succeed. This consistency is a differentiator. Nationwide, around 1 in 5 students who attend college as freshmen will fail to return for their sophomore year, and 2 in 5 students do not complete their degree within six years. For Bishop Guertin graduates, 98% of our students persist from freshman to sophomore year, and our four-year completion rate matches the national six-year rate. (In other words, our graduates complete college in four years at the same rate that students complete college in six years nationwide.) This impressive outcome correlates with the challenges our students faced along the way and the support received. It is frustrating in the fall of sophomore year for a student to work through difficulties and earn their grades, but these struggles pay off later.

Recent headlines have covered international results from PISA, an international assessment of student academic ability released this month (NYT article and summary). Reading and math scores across many nations are now the lowest recorded since the study began, with reading down by roughly a year and a half of learning over the past decade. The report does not name a single cause, but it notes that the decline coincides with rising screen time and falling rates of reading. The number of students who rush through a text and answer hastily has nearly doubled. The study also found that students who hand off tasks to artificial intelligence tend to score lower than those who do not. The strongest readers were the students who had read books, particularly longer ones. Fewer than half of students reported both checking their sources and weighing evidence over gut instinct, which leaves many vulnerable to misinformation.

Our students have grown up amidst these same dynamics. Will these trends be their destiny? We reject that idea as a school, and trust that they can fully develop intellectually and as people. That's why it is important that our students experience challenges and difficult material along the way.

One of the core values (“Compassion and Trust”) of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart involves the concept of trust, which we define specially. When you or I think about trusting a student, we think in terms of their judgment and ethics - giving them keys to the car, or letting them plan their time out on their own. The Brothers of the Sacred Heart have looked at trust differently - to them, trust is about acting on the belief in students’ ability to achieve their full potential as people. Because we trust in who they can become, we hold high expectations and provide support along the way. This is the “why” of high expectations.

So when the discussion turns to how hard classes are, or why there is so much homework, the answer is clear - we are asking students to embrace this challenge so that they can become the best version of themselves later. Amidst all the trends and uncertainties of the future, the variable we can control is ensuring our students arrive at that future with the strongest possible skills and habits.

ATHLETIC REMINDERS

As we approach the mid-season of fall athletics, it is time for my annual reminder about conduct of adult fans at athletic events. Athletics support our mission of whole-person formation. We rely on adult attendees at these events to set an appropriate model of behavior. At Bishop Guertin, we set a higher standard than some venues and competitions. As a part of the enrollment contract, every parent agrees to the following policy:

Parents are expected to support the team in a positive manner and demonstrate good sportsmanship. Attendance and participation are a privilege. Parents should note that any public disruption, criticism, "coaching from the stands," or confrontation at the site of a game or practice with a coach, participant, school official, fan, or game official will be addressed and may result in the loss of their attendance privileges or, in egregious cases, the disqualification of their student-athlete from participation.

The role of fans is to provide positive support for our student-athletes. Please help us to maintain a positive environment at our athletic events. Please remember that all Bishop Guertin events are alcohol-free. Additionally, New Hampshire statute RSA 631:4-b establishes penalties for “Harm or Threats to Sports Officials.”

Athletics inspire a great deal of passion. When disagreements arise with a coach, please encourage your student-athlete to advocate for themselves whenever possible. If you feel that you need to raise a concern, we urge you to take a day or two beyond the game before respectfully addressing the matter with a coach, to ensure that the conversation is not based on emotion. The school administration will generally not involve itself in matters concerning team management, philosophy, strategy, or playing time. Please note that anonymous complaints have no place in a community based on trust and will not be considered. This policy protects all students and coaches from unsubstantiated concerns by nameless parties. Constructive feedback with a name attached and the ability for the school to follow up will be considered seriously and confidentially.

Thank you to all who have committed yourselves to partnership with the school by conducting yourselves in ways that support our mission as a school. Your role model is important.

CAMPUS PROJECT UPDATES

After some delays in final design and permitting phases, we are looking forward to our campus field project, which will upgrade Elliott Field to include synthetic turf, lights, and seating. We will also be upgrading the traffic flow in and out of the campus by paving the dirt road, creating a rear “loop” for pickups and drop-offs, and closing the congested exit near the tennis courts. This work is still expected to occur during the current school year. Thank you in advance for your patience while we accommodate this work on our campus.

Meanwhile, our Groton Road facility, the Keegan Athletic Complex, is coming along well, thanks to the ambitious work of Lynch Excavation. The first field has been graded, with sod expected to be laid in the next week or two. The entrance and parking areas have been paved, and temporary student parking and the temporary track are on their way. The public path to the conservation land in Massachusetts has been established. Blasting has been taking place to make room for the permanent parking, additional practice fields, and tennis courts.

We look forward to celebrating the Groton Road project in the weeks ahead. Remember that this project is meant to be fully funded through donations to avoid increasing tuition. Later upgrades (synthetic turf, lights) will be added as funding is identified. If you or someone you know would be interested in contributing to this project, I urge you to contact our Advancement Department.

Lastly, our Open House programs are coming up on 10/22 and 10/25. This year, we had a large number of Cardinals who applied late in the summer. This year, we are hoping to get in touch with prospective students early in the year so they can experience the full admission and orientation process. As always, word-of-mouth is our best source - please help to spread the word about Bishop Guertin to friends and family who would be a good fit for Bishop Guertin.

Thank you for your trust and partnership!

Sincerely,

Jason Strniste

Principal

10.7 | Walk-A-Thon

Bishop Guertin's biggest annual fundraiser returns and to a new location in 2026. This year's event will be held on BG's Groton Road facility. Students will have an opportunity to walk the grounds and see the work that has gone into building this new athletic facility alongside their classmates. If this is your child's first time participating in Walk-A-Thon, please see the information below provided by our Advancement Office to gain a better understanding of the day and it's importance.

Basic Info

Largest service-oriented, student-based fundraiser!
Began in 1992.
The Walk-A-Thon has grown from raising $25,102 in 1992 to just over $122,338 last year.

What the money raised goes toward:

Money raised has been used for beautifying our school, locker rooms, A/C in classrooms, signage, technology charging stations, new seating in the KLC room, seating and the tent in the courtyard, renovations to the Beaumont Center, and bathroom renovations to name a few.
This year money raised will go towards completion of the Student Life Center Renovations! $10,000 also goes to the Student Enrichment Fund for clubs and student activities.

How we raise the money . . . MAILERS, MAILERS, MAILERS!

Mailers will be given out next Tuesday, September 29, after our Walk-A-Thon launch! The launch is an assembly to get everyone excited about the Walk-A-Thon! After the assembly we will all go back to our advisories to begin filling out mailers – be sure to come with addresses .
Who can you send them to: Mom, Dad, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Dentist, Doctors, Hairdresser, Coaches, etc. (No classmates, celebrities or politicians and only two mailers can be sent to a household!) You can turn in a mailer to yourself ONLY if you put at least $5 cash inside of it. Mailers are then collected on specific days which will be posted in your Advisory.
We ask that all students turn in a minimum of FIVE mailers in order to walk in the Walk-A-Thon. (If you don’t turn in the minimum, you won’t be able to join in the fun on the Walk-A-Thon Day. You will have to stay back at BG in dress code and do a different kind of service.) There are prizes for turning in more than five mailers (and competitions between advisories!).
Be sure to fill out your mailers correctly with your name, Student ID, and Advisory Room on the inside of the mailer or it will be returned and not counted!
Don't forget to bring spare change to the launch! We'll have class representatives collecting the spare change during the launch and if the school raises $500 in spare change, there will be a dress down day on October 1!

Day of the Walk-A-Thon:

Wednesday, October 7, is the day of the Walk-A-Thon!

It’s also an early dismissal day! You will wait in your advisory to be released. Then you will begin the Walk-A-Thon by class. The walk will take place at 40 Groton Road in Nashua. Students will be bussed over to the location. This is a fun day with friends and supporting your school. Students will then be bussed back to the school where they can be picked up beginning at noon.
Dress code/schedule: Wear comfortable sneakers and BG Spirit Colors: Green and Gold! Be creative!

Host Families Needed for 2026-27 International Students

Dear BG Families,

BG is excited to welcome international students into our school community for either a single semester or a full academic year. As we prepare our students for their futures, we are proud to foster a culturally diverse environment that reflects the richness of campuses across the country.

We are still seeking host families for the 2026-27 school year and beyond. Hosting an international student is a meaningful way to support BG while making a lasting impact on a young person’s life. Host families provide a safe, welcoming home, meals, and a supportive environment as students adjust to life in the U.S. In appreciation, hosts receive a $1,250 monthly stipend.

If you are interested in hosting, please click here to learn more or apply. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact program coordinator Casey Henry at henryc@bghs.org.

We are grateful for the generosity of our community and hope you will consider opening your home to an international student.

Thank you for your support!

Your time, energy, and talent are needed in a variety of areas. Please take a moment to look over the array of opportunities and see if there is an area that might interest you. Any amount of time you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Attendance Procedures

REPORTING AN ABSENCE: On the day of a student’s absence, parents/guardians must provide the student’s name and reason for absence to the Attendance Office no later than 8:00 AM. The attendance line number is 603-889-4107 Ext. 4314. Voicemails can be left at any time at that extension.

Parents will be contacted if a student is not in school and no notification has been received.

EXCUSED ABSENCES: Extraordinary circumstances may be considered in excusing absences for eligibility and academic purposes. The pardoning of absences is left to the sole discretion of school administration and may require supporting documentation. Reasons why an absence may be excused for eligibility purposes may include: family emergencies, documented illness, professional/medical appointment, funeral. A student’s history of attendance and tardiness is considered in determining whether an excused absence will be granted.

TARDY TO SCHOOL: The school day begins at 7:40 AM. Students arriving to Advisory after the “late” bell (7:40 AM) are considered tardy and are required to report to the Attendance Office. Late arrivals due to doctor/dental appointments are only excused when supported by official documentation. Notes or calls from parents do not excuse late arrivals. In extenuating circumstances, the Dean of Student Formation shall make the final determination as to whether a tardy is excused or unexcused.

On the day a student will be coming in late to school, parents/guardians must provide the student’s name and reason for the late arrival to the Attendance Office no later than 8:00 AM.

DISMISSALS: Students should bring notes from parents to the Attendance Office before or during Advisory if they will be dismissed early. All absence and tardy guidelines apply to dismissals. Passes are issued from the Attendance Office before the start of the first period only. As medically necessary, the Nurse may also dismiss students early, after receiving permission from the students’ parents.

Morning Traffic Routine

As we begin the school year, we want to remind our community about important traffic safety guidelines during our busiest morning drop-off period. Between 7:20 and 7:35 a.m., we experience the highest volume of traffic along Lund Road and through our drop-off loop, which poses safety risks to both student and parent drivers.

Key Traffic Guidelines

Drop-Off Best Practices:

Arrive early when possible: Consider arriving before 7:20 a.m. to avoid peak traffic
Pull all the way forward: When using the Loop, please pull forward to the gym entrance for drop-off
Quick exits: Encourage your students to exit vehicles promptly regardless of drop-off location
5 MPH speed limit: Please observe our campus speed limit at all times

Loop Usage:

Most vehicles should continue to use the front Loop for student drop-off
Vehicles turning left off Lund Road should utilize the Loop
Parents should pull all the way forward and drop off in front of the gym
One of the leading causes of traffic backup on Lund Road is vehicles stopping well before the gym entrance

Lower Lot Guidelines:

The lower lot is available for morning drop-off
- If you notice the line on Lund Road forming, pull into the driveway leading to the lower lot to ease congestion
When dropping off students in the lower lot, please drop off as close to the tent as possible
Afternoon pick-up from the lower lot is only permitted after 3:00 p.m.
Please see maps below for traffic pattern

Additional Reminders

For Everyone's Safety:

Please be mindful of students and staff walking through parking areas
Follow all traffic directions and posted signage
Do not attempt to bypass the drop-off line
Remember that student safety is our top priority

Afternoon Pick-Up:

If possible, arrive after 2:50 p.m. to help ease afternoon traffic congestion
The front loop remains the only pick-up location until 3 p.m.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work together to maintain a safe environment for all students, staff, and families. Your adherence to these guidelines helps ensure smooth traffic flow and, most importantly, keeps everyone safe.

Thank you for your continued support.

Expansion of School Vouchers in New Hampshire - June 2025

With the signing of New Hampshire’s new universal school choice bill, all New Hampshire families are eligible for the state’s voucher program. Through the state's Educational Freedom Account (EFA) program, families may receive funding that equates to the state's "adequate education" rate, approximately $4,200 per student, with some students eligible for more based on individual circumstances. These funds may be applied to tuition at a private school such as Bishop Guertin, as well as textbooks, online instructional materials, computer hardware, summer programs, AP exams, and other educational costs.

The program is administered through the Children's Scholarship Fund (CSF), and interested families should visit the CSF website for details. While the website has not been updated to reflect the removal of income limits, CSF messaging indicates that all New Hampshire families may now apply regardless of income, there is a cap on the number of grants awarded, and families need verification by mid-July for full 2025-26 funding. Bishop Guertin families residing in New Hampshire received information about this opportunity via email on 6/11.

Families residing outside of New Hampshire should note that this program does not extend to non-residents.

The school maintains its commitment to affordability as an institutional responsibility independent of this program. We are committed to keeping tuition increases to a minimum while offering an excellent and cost-effective program at less than the statewide cost-per-student. Our need-based financial assistance and scholarship programs will continue. The Bishop Guertin High School will maintain all of its strategic commitments to efficiency, affordability, and independence.

Around BG
