 In cases of discipline or other school matters relating to their children, parents should first discuss the matter with the teacher concerned. If, for some reason, they are not satisfied, they can further discuss that matter with the principal, then Director of Student Services and ELL, and finally, the Assistant Superintendents or Superintendent of Schools.

 If a student moves from Nashua to another town or city during the school year and wishes to continue attending school in Nashua, the District must be notified by the student's parents and/or by the student if over the age of 18. If space is available, the student will be allowed to remain in the Nashua School District on a tuition basis. Families who do not reside in Nashua, or move out of Nashua, but send their children to Nashua Public Schools without giving proper notification to the District and receiving written permission for their child's enrollment in the Nashua Public Schools, will be assessed the cost of tuition for the period of time in question and may face appropriate civil and criminal sanctions, including, but not limited to, complaints for Theft of Services

We do not rank our schools; however, our web site does have some assessment information. Also, the New Hampshire Department of Education has a test score site available with assessment information on schools

 While most children attend their neighborhood school, the Nashua School District does have a procedure for parents to request their child be allowed to stay at the school in which they began the school year. If class size, student discipline, or poor attendance is not an issue, Attendance Variances are granted with the provision that the parent provide transportation to and from school daily. A blank Attendance Variance Request form may be obtained at your child's school site or the school administration building at 141 Ledge St. High school waivers are a form of attendance variance and may be obtained at the Masse School Administration Building at 141 Ledge Street, Nashua.

An Office Record Card for all students will be permanently maintained by the School District. Student records follow the child chronologically to the corresponding schools until that student graduates. They are then kept at the high school they attended for the amount of time as follows: A regular education students cumulative file will be maintained for three (3) years from the date of program completion. Special Education records for Special Education students should be maintained after the date of termination for program completion, until the student reaches 26 years of age.

 Pick up a Home Education intent form at the Masse School Administration Building, 141 Ledge Street, Nashua. Submit the completed form, to the Office of Student Services, also located at the Berard Masse School Administration Building.
