Monthly Update - December 2023

December 26th, 2023 by Tim Powers


December 26, 2023

The building project continues to progress on schedule. The slabs have been set for the first and second floors. This allows the vertical build to continue. Over the next four weeks, the vertical build of the second floor will occur. While that is happening, the duct work and layout for plumbing in the first floor will be done. 

As a reminder, the New Hampshire Secretary of State has set the 2024 Presidential Primary for January 23rd. Pinkerton Academy’s Field House will be used as a polling location for the Town of Derry. In order to accommodate this, our school calendar has changed to move the professional learning day from January 26th to the 23rd.  You can find an updated calendar here. Our first semester will conclude with exams prior to the 23rd. On our red/white calendar breakdown, you can see the days and times of the exams. More information about exams will be coming from Mr. Perez in the new year. 

Winter is officially here and with it comes the potential for weather cancellations. If your contact information or preferences have changed, please be sure to make any updates here: Alert System. I try to make any calls as soon as reasonably possible, but there are times that the call has to be made at the last minute. Our website and social media pages will also post delays and cancellations. 

Don’t forget to check out Our Voices of PA and On Campus with Dr. Powers video series as well as our podcast Educational Insights with Dr. Powers: A Podcast for Lifelong Learners. You can find links to all of these and to our monthly letters on our website – Head of School’s Communications page.

I hope that you and your family have a restful holiday break. I’m looking forward to a great 2024!

Sincerely,



Dr. Timothy J. Powers
Head of School
