Dear Parents, Students, and Staff,

As we approach February break, I want to express my gratitude for your continued hard work and dedication throughout the first part of the school year. At the beginning of this month, we celebrated 100 Days of School; we have a fantastic slideshow showcasing our achievements during the first half of the year. It is hard to believe we are past the halfway mark. I am incredibly proud of our school community and how we have come together for the benefit of our students.

Recently, we have been preparing for the upcoming budget cycle; we face difficult decisions about allocating our resources to best support our students, staff, and schools. Your input is invaluable in this process. We invite you to take a few moments to complete our Haverhill Public Schools Budget Survey. Your feedback will help us understand what our community values most as we work to make thoughtful and informed decisions.

Whether you are going away or planning a staycation, February break is an important time for our students and staff to take a step back, reflect, and be refreshed for the second half of the school year. Let’s continue to work together to make this a successful year.

Please be reminded that schools will be closed from Monday, February 17, 2025, until Friday, February 21, 2025.

Wishing everyone a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable February Break!

Margaret Marotta Ed.D.
