Hello Silver Hill Families,Happy Sunday! I hope you all are having a wonderful June weekend! Congratulations to all of the Haverhill High School graduates yesterday!

Discovery Club – Thank you to everyone who filled out the survey for a potential Discovery Club at Silver Hill in the fall. Thank you also to Sara Sanchez for getting the process started, and to Denise Johnson and her team for their hard work on the grant application. We will know some time in July if the grant was approved and we have Discovery Club at Silver Hill. I will get information out to everyone as soon as we are informed.
The office of Title I and Community Outreach is excited to share with you the Summer 2023 Learning Opportunities for our students! Haverhill Public Schools, in collaboration with our community partners, provides a variety of interesting and robust Summer programs.

Other Previous Updates and Information:
Cell Phone Policy – We have seen an uptick of inappropriate phone use at school. Here is a reminder of our expectations at Silver Hill:
“Cell phones must be shut off and stored in backpacks during school hours. They may not be used at any time during the school day, including lunch and recess.
If they are seen by a classroom teacher, staff, etc. the phone will be confiscated and turned into the main office. The device can be picked up at the office by the student at the end of the school day. Repeated offenses may require the parent to pick up the device and/or require the student to drop it off daily at the office.”
Safety at Dismissal Time – There have been an increasing amount of car driving in during pick-up time that do not enter the car pick-up line but instead park illegally in the bus lanes or faculty parking lot. Please DO NOT continue this practice. This makes it very challenging for the buses to get through. Additionally, students run across the parking lot to meet their rides which is very dangerous.
- If you are walking to pick up a child, please meet them at the front of the school.
- If you are picking up a child in the car, please get in the car pick-up line.
- We appreciate your attention to this matter. The safety of our students and everyone in the Silver Hill community is our number one priority!
**Please also be sure to send your children with snacks for snacktime.**
Take care and be well.
Sincerely,
Donna Martin, Principal
