Weekly Update 9/24

Posted on September 24, 2023

Good afternoon families! Here’s this week’s updates and reminders!

Arrival/Dismissal Procedures
Procedures can be found here:

https://tilton.haverhill-ps.org/2023/08/17/arrival-and-dismissal-procedures-2023-2024/

Please always have an ID with you when picking up your child and communicate any changes in dismissal plans to the office. Be sure to call in if your child will be out sick or late.

While in the car drop off/pick up line: Please be mindful of the crosswalk out front. Be sure you have enough room to clear the crosswalk once you pull up. If you do not, please wait until you have enough room to clear the crosswalk. HPD has crossing guards to enforce “no blocking crosswalks” .

For anyone looking to cross Grove St. It is imperative that you are using the crosswalk. I understand it is further down, but crossing in the middle of the pickup line puts everyone’s safety at risk. Grove St. is very busy at arrival and dismissal. Our staff will be directing families to use the crosswalk each and every time we witness anyone not using it.

Back to School BBQ
Join us on Thursday September 28th at Consentino for our 2nd Annual Back to School BBQ! Dr. Poor and Mr. Mele have agreed to act as our chefs for the evening so we can gather and have some fun! The fun starts at 4:30 until 6:00.

Picture Day
Picture Day is Scheduled for October 11th. Make Ups will be held on November 21st. Please see the flyer attached. Hard copies will also be going home soon.

Attendance
September is Attendance Awareness Month. Please continue to stress good attendance with your children.  This is a group effort and we are all working together to get all students to school every single day!  The first week in October, we are going to be doing an attendance breakfast for the homeroom with the best attendance.  More details to come!

Device insurance info
All students in HPS receive a chromebook and a charger. We strongly recommend all families sign up for device insurance to cover any loss or damage. You can sign up here until November 1st. https://www.haverhill-ps.org/technology/device-insurance/

Should you not opt in for insurance, you will be accountable for any damage or loss. Students should bring their chromebook to school each day, fully charged.
