2025-2026 – 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.

Please add the ParentSquare App to your phone to stay up to date on all of what’s happening at Haverhill High School!

• Any student who rides a scooter or bike must lock them up outside the building on the bike rack. We are no longer allowing students to leave them at the Security Kiosk. This is a safety issue.

Tardy Report Message on 9/8/2025 on Parent Square:

Good afternoon,

306 tardies today, once again a majority were Juniors and Seniors. However, grade 9 and 10 went up. If your student takes the bus they need to get to class on time and not wander the building. If you drive your student to school please get them to school on time and plan accordingly.

Continued tardiness and discipline referrals will result in social probation and/or loss of parking privileges. As a reminder, per the handbook social probation means loss of the privilege to attend events, such as games and dances. For athletes this may result in a loss of practice time and the ability to play in a game.  If you drive your student to school please plan accordingly as traffic is always an issue.

Starting Monday 9/15 Rosemont Street is going to be shut down for one year due to bridge construction.

At a minimum if this affects your commute I would plan on an extra 10-15 minute drive to school.

As part of the District’s 1:1 initiative, every Haverhill Public Schools student receives a HPS-issued Chromebook. HPS offers the opportunity to protect school-issued devices for the school year by paying a Device Waiver Fee. As outlined in the HPS Student Technology Device Policy, this $20 fee will help to cover the costs of potential damage, repair, or loss for the school year for the assigned device. Click below for more information.

Please fill out this form to sign up!

HPS offers the opportunity to protect school-issued devices for the school year by paying a Device Waiver Fee. As outlined in the HPS Student Technology Device Policy, this $20 fee will help to cover the costs of potential damage, repair, or loss for the school year for the assigned device. Please note: issues of theft should still be reported to the police. The $20 covers 1 student for 1 school year. So families with more than one student will have to sign each student up separately. Some of the replacement costs are as follows:

Charger – $39
LCD Screen – $80
Top/Bottom Cover – $30-$35
Keyboard $70
Trackpad $15

On July 25, 2024 the School Committee unanimously approved the new cell phone policy at the high school to help students focus on learning while in class, to increase student engagement, and to prevent coordinated events while in class. The policy states that cell phones (and other electronic devices) must be turned off and cell phones must be put into the designated classroom container or on silent in a backpack. No cell phone use is allowed while out on a hall pass during class time.

Students will still be able to check their phones between classes or during lunch but families can call the main office to reach students if an emergency arises.

Working as a team to implement this policy will make concerns about staff confiscating phones a non-issue as we are giving students the same message to have phones away during class times. Again, this policy is to help with learning, maintain better safety, and protect the dignity of students in moments that may be out of their control.

Additionally, Haverhill High School staff is expected to model this policy as well and will not have cell phones out during instructional times in class. Thank you for your support and cooperation as we work together to create the best possible learning environment.
