Dear Families,
We are thankful for you!
As we return from Thanksgiving break, we are grateful for everyone who has helped to restore a
routine for showing up to school while supporting students and families.
Daily routines are essential for reducing stress and creating a sense of security, especially after the
chaotic transitions experienced over the last two years.
As long as your child is healthy, please encourage showing up to class when school is in session.
Every day of school is an important opportunity for students to learn as well as connect to peers and
their teachers.
We thank:
- Our students and their families who do their best to show up to class every day even
when it isn’t easy. - Our teachers who have gone above and beyond to help make school a welcoming
learning environment where students can thrive. - Our administrators who help us work together to ensure we are healthy and safe, feel a
sense of community and experience the excitement of an engaging learning
environment. - Our many, many healers and helpers – the support staff and community volunteers who
provide the extra hands and attention our children need.
Winter break begins with an early release on Friday December 23 rd, and we return to school on
Wednesday January 4 th . We appreciate everyone’s efforts to avoid taking extra time off beyond the
winter break.
Thank you for partnering with us!
Sincerely,
Haverhill Public Schools
