Updates from Ms. Martin
​
Dear Silver Hill Community,
Happy Sunday! If you celebrate, I hope you all had a fun Halloween last night! Trunk or Treat was so much fun – SO wonderful to see all who attended! I included a few photos below.
Wit & Wisdom/Title I NightΒ – Our next family event is approaching! Flyers went home last week, and they are also shown below and attached. If you plan to attend, please send in the bottom part byΒ this Thursday 10/31Β so we are sure to have enough pizza! πŸ™‚
Lost and FoundΒ – Our Lost and Found pile continues to grow! Please come in the lobby and check it out if your children are missing anything. Also, especially as the colder weather is upon us and more layers are being worn, please LABEL all outerwear with your children’s names, so that we might get it back to them right away. Thank you!
Outdoor RecessΒ – Speaking of outerwear, we will be going outside as much as possible! Please be sure your children have coats, hats, etc. If you need assistance, please reach out!
Lunch MonitorsΒ – We are still looking to hire lunch monitors. The hours are 11:00 am – 1:45 pm daily. Please let us know if you are interested!
Picture Retake DayΒ – will be on 11/6. Retake day is for new students and staff members, transfer students, or for anyone who may have missed the initial picture day, OR for anyone who was unhappy with their original picture and would like to give it another try. If a student would like the retake photo to replace the original photo, please have the student return the original picture package to the photographer on picture day. We will replace the original package at no additional cost.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions. Be well and take good care of one another.
Sincerely,
Donna Martin, Principal

Device Waiver Fee for Chromebooks
​As part of the District’s 1:1 initiative, 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 aΒ Device Waiver Fee. As outlined in the HPS Student Technology Device Policy, thisΒ $20 feeΒ will help to cover the costs of potential damage, repair, or loss for theΒ school yearΒ for the assigned device. Please note: issues of theft should still be reported to the police.
The Device Waiver Fee is available for purchaseΒ throughout the school year
Morning Car Drop OffΒ – Please do NOT get out of your car to help your child out. This slows down the line; the staff will help your children out of the car and with their backpacks, etc.
Also, please do NOT park in the parking lot and have your child walk to the front door. There are several buses and vans running at that time and it is not safe for them to be crossing. Please drop off your child at the back of the school.
