BACKPACK 68

Due to poverty levels in Haverhill, all students receive free breakfast and lunch at school.

But there are 68 hours between lunch on Friday and breakfast on Monday when many students go hungry.

Thank you so much to all the community members who have already reached out! It takes a village!

* If you are in a position to help, please reach out to Nancy Burke at Haverhill High School. *

HHS CTE Information Technology and Computer Science & Web Development students had a timely presentation by Larry Dysart, a member of their Program Advisory Committee.  Larry programs an amazing light display on his house for Halloween (set to music!).  He was very generous and came in to share with the students how he builds the various components and programs the lights to change with the beat of the accompanying music.  Students asked many great questions.  For more information about the Career Technical Education Program Advisory Committees, contact Lisa Hunt, Work-Based Learning Coordinator, at lhunt@haverhill-ps.org.

After school tutoring!

Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30PM to 4PM

Room M12

Late bus available at 4PM. All are welcome to stay for extra help.

Late Bus information:

 Your student will need a bus pass from a teacher, coach, or club advisor in order to be able to access the late bus.

The bus picks up at 4PM. Students are not allowed to stay in the building to roam the hallways, they must have a reason to be here,

or they will be escorted out of the building. They will be able to wait in the cafeteria from the time they are finished until 4PM.

HHS – Late Bus routes/numbers

DO NOT BLOCK EXIT LANE WHEN DROPPING OFF/PICKING UP STUDENTS

Parents/caregivers will NOT be allowed to drive past the new drop-off/pick-up area (behind the pool building) for the safety of students and staff. Having the drop-off/pick-up area near student parking would/will produce too many safety concerns.

Please plan accordingly, as this is going to cause significant disruption to our parking and drop-off/pick-up processes for at least 4 months.

Three suggestions:

• Arrive 10-15 minutes earlier than normal for drop-off.
• Arrive at 2:30 after buses are gone and the small loop in front of the high school will be available for pick-up
• Have your student(s) take the bus.

Again, if you you arrive at your normal time you will experience delays and contribute to traffic congestion.

Sincerely,

Michael J. Downs, M.Ed., C.AG.S Ed., Principal, Haverhill School
