It is our common shared mission that all students, regardless of racial/ethnic background or economic condition or other dimension of identity or difference, receive equitable curricula, learning experiences and support that expand opportunities for growth and increasingly high levels of achievement particularly in the areas of health and wellness. The wellness program will be implemented in a multidisciplinary fashion and will be evidence based –HPS Wellness Policy (2024)
“Massachusetts is leading the way by providing a health and physical education framework that is inclusive, medically accurate and age-appropriate to help them make decisions that are right for their health and wellbeing,” ~Governor Maura Healey (Sept. 19, 2023)
- Massachusetts Health Curriculum Frameworks
- More information on understanding the 2023 Massachusetts Comprehensive Health & Physical Education Frameworks.
The Wellness Department will map the Health Education scope and sequence to align with the 2023 Comprehensive Health and Physical Education Frameworks. There are three curricula that Haverhill Public School Health teachers draw from: HealthSmart ETR, Rights, Respect & Responsibility and Health Education Today. However, teachers have access to many other professional resources and tools to which they design curricula to address the practice skills necessary to cover the Massachusetts Frameworks. To the extent practicable, program instruction materials for said curricula will be made reasonably accessible to parents and guardians for review.
