Hello JGW Families,
I hope this letter/email finds everyone is healthy and doing well at home. Thank you for all the support you have given to us as we navigate through this difficult time. We are happy to announce that “remote learning school” will start tomorrow, Monday, April 6, 2020. Classroom teachers will use Google Classroom to connect with your children while learning from home. Below you will find links to each of the 4 grade’s schedules:
Grade5: Grade 5 Schedule – Sheet1
Grade 6: Copy of 6th Grade Remote Learning Schedule – 6th Grade Remote Learning
Grade 7: JGW 7th Grade Remote Learning Schedule
Grade 8:Grade 8 Schedule – Sheet1
Please note, the school day will be three hours per day. We know families are busy and your child may need to view or complete an assignment at a different time that works best for your family. However, the schedule should be flexible enough to accommodate your family routine. There will be independent work, projects, videos and specialists’ assignments for students to complete. Some of these lessons could be held live by one of your student’s teachers. A classroom teacher or another staff member will also be available to your child weekly to provide support with learning at home. A schedule for “office hours” has been included with the grade level schedules above. This contact may be by phone (may appear as blocked or no caller ID), email, classroom phone app, or online in the Google Classroom web service. If you need access to Google Classroom, please get in touch with your child’s teacher to request your child’s email and password. I am also including notices for “consent to tape”. Please review these documents and be in touch with me ONLY if you DO NOT give consent:
As always, I am available for any questions you may have (tbetty@haverhill-ps.org). All other emails are found on the school homepage under the staff listing tab.
Please note that we will not have school on Good Friday, April 10th, and April Vacation (April 20th to 24th) week as noted in the HPS School Calendar.
I am also including the district letter (in English and Spanish) on remote learning for your review as well (please see links below):

Please know we are all working together to provide the very best education we can during this challenging time. The first week of school will be a time to relearn class rules, adjust to online learning and become comfortable with our new learning environment. Students will now be graded during this time on a credit/no credit basis. Please be patient as we anticipate that adjustments may be necessary to refine this new learning environment as we progress through this. Your continued patience and understanding is greatly appreciated as we navigate this new territory all together.
Stay safe and well.
Tim Betty
Assistant Principal
