Wednesday, November 10, 2021
Veterans Day
There will be no school on Thursday, November 11, 2021 in observance of Veterans Day.
End of the Quarter Information
The First Quarter ended on Friday, November 5th. Because students have the opportunity to reassess, the posting of grades will align with the closing of the two-week incomplete window on Friday, November 19th. This should help limit the need for incompletes due to reassessment.
Athletic Eligibility
Quarter One grades determine athletic eligibility for the winter sports season. To be eligible, one must meet the following requirement.
- No pupil who has failed to pass four (4) units of work (classes) during the previous grading period shall represent Dover High School in any interscholastic contest.
- To remain eligible during the winter season, students must meet the same requirement at the end of the Second Quarter.
The interscholastic athletic program at Dover High School meets or exceeds the requirements of the N.H.I.A.A.

GoGuardian Information
Please see the information below from the District’s IT Department.
Subject line: Welcome to GoGuardian Parent
The Dover School District has granted access to GoGuardian Parent, a mobile app to help keep parents/guardians aware of your children's activity on school-issued devices and provide you with additional controls during out-of-school hours. GoGuardian Parent is a companion to the classroom management and internet filtering tools that your child's school uses for devices issued to students. Through the use of this app, we hope to encourage more open and honest conversations between parents and children that will result in safer practices and responsible browsing habits.
What is GoGuardian Parent?
GoGuardian Parent was created to help provide additional educational support to administrators and teachers by allowing parents to see what sites and documents their children are browsing and providing parents with additional internet controls at home. The app gives parents a bird's eye view of the apps and websites that their kids are on most often and control over school-issued devices during out-of-school hours. With this perspective, parents can be made aware of what types of browsing behavior schools are seeing from students so they can all work together to encourage more effective internet browsing habits at home and at school.
What's the intention of the app?
By providing insight and controls over student browsing activity, our goal is to empower parents to take a more active role in their children's online learning. We aim to create a greater sense of transparency with student browsing to help bring about a greater sense of accountability on both the parent's and the student's part. We also believe that transparency and insight will increase the likelihood of productive student browsing habits on a more consistent basis.
What is included in this app:
Top 5 summary of student browsing (apps, extensions, documents, and websites visited)
Teacher interventions
30-day view of websites, videos, documents, apps, and extensions
Ability to block websites on school-issued devices during out-of-school hours
Ability to pause internet access on school-issued devices during out-of-school hours, either on-demand or at a scheduled time
