C.D. Hunking School | January 23, 2022
The PTO recognized the hard-working nurses in the Hunking health office by organizing a week filled with goodies and surprises. A banner was hung near the health office that included kind words from our students. Thank you!
We are in need of additional lunch/recess monitors. It doesn’t even have to be daily. We are flexible. If you are interested in being a lunch/recess monitor please contact Shelley MacRae in the main office.
Cell phones – the expectation is that students’ phones are off and out of sight. We have many students telling us the reason they are on their phone is because a parent has texted or called them. Please don’t text or call your child during the school day. If you need to get an urgent message to them during the school day, contact the main office at 978-374-5787. Thank you for your support with this. If students are caught using their cell phone it will be taken away and given to the main office. For a first offense the student may pick up their phone at the end of the school day. After that, a parent will need to come pick it up. Students shouldn’t have earbuds in unless the teacher allows it for an in-class assignment. Students will be asked to remove them.
Reminder – school starts at 8:30. Students should be in their homeroom by 8:30. We are noticing more and more students are arriving after 8:30 and are being marked tardy. We recognize the traffic on South Main traffic may be challenging on most days so please plan accordingly. Thank you for your help in getting your child to school on time.

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
