Good afternoon families! Hope you all stayed warm yesterday! Happy to see some warmer temps this week!
Bus delays
We know that recent bus delays have caused some frustration. We communicate whatever information is sent to us from NRT. We understand that the timing is not always correct, but I ask you to be mindful when responding to Remind app messages and keep comments positive.
iReady Math assessment starts this week
This week we begin our iReady Math winter assessment. Please make sure your child brings his/her chromebook to school fully charged and has their headphones. Students will take the assessment over 3 days in 30 min chunks. Encourage your child to take their time. Teachers have been working on goal setting with students and we will celebrate student growth once all testing is complete.
Students have done so great on their reading assessment!! I cannot wait to share results. Just a handful of students left to finish next week.
New parent monitoring app
At Haverhill Public Schools, we’re committed to providing a learning experience that allows your child to grow and flourish with technology. That’s why we’ve teamed up with a student safety and digital wellbeing platform that is now protecting the devices your child uses at school, ensuring they stay safe and secure. This platform comes with a parental control app, Qustodio.
Qustodio will provide you with full visibility on how your child is using their school devices.
Prior to rolling out this new parent app district-wide, the Technology Department is going to test the app with a select number of parents within our school district and we’ve been nominated to participate!
If you are interested, please visit the website below for more information including a link to sign up for the free app.
