SUMMER VACATION: We want to wish everyone in the Hunking Community a Happy & Safe Summer Vacation! It is hard to believe another school year is behind us, but we would like to thank all of our families and stakeholders for their partnership and continued support in making sure that all of our students are safe and supported! We hope that everyone has a chance to relax and unwind and spend time with family and friends this summer! Summer vacation kicks off on Friday, June 13th and we will see everyone back in school (Grades 1-8) on Tuesday, August 26th! Our new Kindergarten class will start on Wednesday, September 3rd. Have a great summer, everyone!
REPORT CARDS: Third Trimester (Final) Report Cards are now available on the Student/Parent Portal for all grades (K-8).
SUMMER HOME VISITS: Please stay tuned in the coming week for communication in regard to our voluntary summer home visit program. This is essentially an opportunity to meet with Mr. Betty at your home to make connections, lend support, answer possible questions you have, and foster positive relationships that can carry over into the school year.
Literacy News: Please be sure to have your child keep up with reading this summer! The lists for summer reading are below and are posted on our Hunking page and HPS webpage. For any students who write down the list of books read this summer and return it this fall, they will receive a certificate and a prize from their Literacy Coach!
The Haverhill Public Library summer reading program “kicks off” on Saturday, June 14. Here is a list of summer events:
