Bobcat Bulletin
C.D. Hunking School | January 9, 2022
I hope everyone enjoyed the snow day!
We try to get students outside for recess daily. There are days we are unable to do so because of inclement weather or due to frigid temperatures, despite many students still begging to go outside. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for winter in New England, including a coat, hat, and gloves. If your child needs any of these items please email me.
We have hats and mittens/gloves on our tree in the lobby for students who need them. We will continue to accept donations of new items that we will add to the tree as they come in. Send them to the main office. We also have new backpacks under the tree for students who need one.
Please click MCAS Calendar – Google Docs for the calendar of dates for MCAS. Students will test in April and May.
Parents often ask me what supplies their child’s classroom may need. I think any classroom would welcome Lysol wipes, hand sanitizer, tissues, and paper towels. Feel free to ask a teacher specifically for their classroom needs though.

CHROMEBOOKS
Please make sure your student comes to school every day with a charged Chromebook.
You have the opportunity to protect the Chromebook issued to your student by paying a Device Waiver Fee. This $20 fee will cover a single incident of damage or repair for the school year. It will not cover lost equipment. If the annual optional Damage Waiver Fee is not purchased, the typical cost of repairing components is as follows, and an invoice would be sent to the family:
- Charger – $39
- LCD Screen – $80
- Top Cover (keyboard, trackpad, etc.) – $139
- Device Replacement (when damage to the device is unrepairable) – $199
If you would like to submit your $20 (per student), please send it to Shelley MacRae in the main office. Make checks payable to: Haverhill Public Schools
