Bobcat Bulletin

C.D. Hunking School | April 10, 2022

This Wednesday is the last day for Chess Wizards! We hope everyone who participated enjoyed it and we will look into bringing the program back this fall.

On days your student is taking MCAS please remember that students need to arrive on time and must have a fully charged ChromeBook. 

ALICE is an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate and is the active shooter school response program utilized by Haverhill Public Schools. Please know the district is committed to taking into account the developmental appropriateness and level of learning abilities of all students when preparing students. Staff have been trained and after April break students will be watching an age-appropriate video about ALICE. A drill (similar to a fire drill) will occur in May.
