2025-2026 – BUS Schedule and HHS Late Bus Schedule

Do you live too close to qualify for a school bus (within 2 miles), consider taking the free MEVA! Routes 15 and 16 will get you to school on time. They stop where you are along the route (as long as it’s safe to do so), and drop you off on Monument Street in front of the school! No more excuses, take the public transport! They are also going to stop at the end of the day and wait until 2:15 to depart, to give the kids time to get to their bus.
Route 15 (Loops with route 16)
Route 16 (Loops with route 15)

• Do you attend an afterschool club or sport? Are you staying after school for extra help? Please join us after your activity in the cafeteria for a free hot meal from 2:30pm till 3:30pm. Your late bus pass will give you entrance. Don’t go home hungry.

The nursing team will be completing health screenings during the week of December 1st on all 10th grade students. Massachusetts School Health law (M.G.L. Chapter 71, Section 57 and 105 CMR 200.000) requires schools to provide regular health screenings for students. Also required is a follow up with the results of these screenings with families and referrals to primary health care providers as necessary. Children who cannot see, hear, or are growing improperly may be having difficulty learning. We recommend having your child seen by a physician if they do not pass a screening.

Screenings include height, weight, hearing, vision, and scoliosis. The scoliosis screening requires assessment of the student’s spine, so we suggest for comfort, wearing a sports bra or tank top underneath regular clothing.

Please make sure your student (s) bring their eye glasses to the screening if they are prescribed them already.

If you would like to opt out of these screenings for your student, or have questions, please email hhsnurses@haverhill-ps.org prior to December 1st.

In addition, comprehensive physical exams are required on entrance to school and at least every 3-4 years. Please send in the most recent physical exam report to the nursing office.
