College/University Placement Application Process

The Haverhill Public Schools has many opportunities for College/University students interested in completing student teaching pre-practicum, student teaching practicum, observations and internship hours as part of the required curriculum at colleges and universities. Haverhill Public Schools would like to honor these types of requests whenever possible and welcome future educators to our district.

The following guidelines have been established for the placement of students:

All students MUST complete the Student Placement Questionnaire, College/University Placement Application Jacket, StudentConfidentiality Agreement, Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) form and Fingerprinting Process.  Suitable CORI and fingerprint results need to be on file before a student can start their placement.

*If you had fingerprints provided already for another Massachusetts school district, please contact your prior school district and request a fingerprint letter of suitability to be sent directly to Cherie Pinardi, HR Specialist.
