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. Please note: issues of theft should still be reported to the police.

The Device Waiver Fee is available for purchase throughout the school year. For more information, visit our website!

Welcome, Pre-K & Kindergarten Students!

We welcome our youngest learners to Haverhill Public Schools — and we couldn’t be more excited!

From first hellos to new routines, today marks the beginning of an amazing journey of learning and discovery.

To all our Pre-K and Kindergarten families — thank you for trusting us. Let’s make it a joyful and successful year together!

Thank You for Growing with Us! 

On Friday, June 27th, volunteers from Haverhill Public Schools, HP3, and Dellbrook Construction came together to erect a greenhouse on the grounds of Gateway Academy.

This greenhouse will support our Farm to Table culinary course, where students learn to grow and harvest fresh vegetables and herbs — used not only in school lunches but shared with the broader community.

A special thank you to Allison Hearquiest and Al Nassar for bringing this meaningful project to the next level.

Thank you to Emily Sheedy and Dellbrook Construction volunteers who truly exemplify what it means to give back to a community they’ve helped build. Stay Tuned for the Ribbon Cutting this Fall!
