College/University Placement Application Process

The Haverhill Public Schools has many opportunities for College/University students interested in completing student teaching pre-practicum, student teaching practicum, observations and internship hours as part of the required curriculum at colleges and universities.  Haverhill Public Schools would like to honor these types of requests whenever possible and welcome future educators to our District.

The following guidelines have been established for the placement of students:

All students MUST complete the Student Application Packet which includes the Placement Questionnaire, Student Intern Application, Confidentiality Agreement, Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) form and Fingerprints or Suitability Letter.
Approved CORI and Fingerprints must be on file before an Intern can start their placement.

Overview of the Placement Process

  1. All requests for placements are initiated by the student or student’s instructor department representative.  Each request must be made in writing to the school’s principal within a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the student’s assignment.
  2. Once a placement request has been approved by the principal the Student Application Packet needs to be submitted to Human Resources – Attention Mikaela Carrozza, Human Resource Specialist.
  3. Once the application process, including CORI and fingerprints, have been finalized by the Haverhill Public Schools you will be notified, along with the school principal, that you are cleared to start your hands-on experience with HPS.
  4. The college/university and/or student will contact the cooperating teacher to further discuss the details of the placement.

Please note:  All students must be supervised by a cooperating teacher who is licensed in the subject area of which the applicant is seeking.
