Hello Haverhill Families,

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to share my gratitude for all that makes our school community special. Our students bring enthusiasm and curiosity to our classrooms daily, our dedicated staff who work tirelessly to support them, and the families who partner with us in shaping our children’s future. Together, we are building a community of support in which students can thrive and families can feel secure. 

This year has kicked off with excitement, from the classroom to extracurricular activities, and we’ve already celebrated many accomplishments together. Our students have shown remarkable progress and we look forward to celebrating many more achievements before the end of the school year. Please visit your child’s school website for events occurring over the next few weeks. As the holiday season approaches, we understand that this can be a stressful time of year for some. We have compiled a list of local resources in the 2024 Family Holiday Resource Guide, which can be found on our website. Winter sports registration is open. Our Fall athletes had a fantastic season, and we look forward to cheering on our Hillies this winter. For all sports-related information, visit the Athletic website, which shares information on registration, try-outs, and schedules.
