MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL & MAIN OFFICE NEWS
FAMILY ENGAGEMENT SURVEY: Happy New Year to everyone! In an effort to continue to build upon our partnership between school and home, especially during these times, we want to make sure to continue to hear your voices. With that being said, our Family Engagement Action Team has been working on ideas for activities that we can take part in as an entire community.
While we have had very limited time in school since last March, we have not had the same opportunities at socialization that we are all used to. It has always been a pleasure of mine to be a part of our family engagement activities like the Spring Carnival, PTO Spaghetti Supper, Back to School Bash, Thanksgiving Feast, and more. While we are not permitted to hold in person events of that magnitude at this time, we would still like to find alternative ways to run activities to engage our whole school community.
We would be greatly appreciative if you took a couple of minutes to fill out this brief survey which is attached to share your thoughts, and have your voice heard with both concerns and ideas for our school moving forward.
We continue to be in this together, and want to support all of our students in the best way possible. Hearing from you is an integral piece of this puzzle. We thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey.
RETURN TO SCHOOL:
The return to school plan is as follows for JGW students:
- Monday, January 11-15, 2021 – All Cohorts will continue at home in a Remote Learning model.
- Tuesday, January 19, 2021 – Cohort C students will be welcomed back to in-person learning while all others continue in the remote model.
- Monday, January 25, 2021 – All Cohorts will be welcomed back to in-person learning on their scheduled days (Cohort A on Monday’s & Tuesdays and Cohort B on Thursday’s & Fridays with Cohort C students attending 4 days per week)
- Remote Learning Academy will continue as scheduled
I-READY DIAGNOSTIC: On Tuesday January 19 and Thursday, January 21 our students will be taking their second iReady Diagnostic. iReady is one of the tools that the school uses to measure student progress throughout the year. This tool helps us best support all students by determining where they excel and where they need improvement. Students will login to iReady during homeroom and will work until they complete the assessment. Students do not receive a grade for iReady, however their scores help us to decide what types of interventions and supports to provide. All students are expected to complete this diagnostic. Please make sure that your student has logged into iReady on the 19th (reading) and 21st (math). We will be calling families if students are not logged in and participating. Thank you for your support in gathering important information about all of our students!
ATTENDANCE: Click link for Winter Attendance Contest Details!
ATTENDANCE POSTER CONTEST: The contest is open to students in grades Pre-K through 8th grade, and entries are due by January 14th. All the details can be found in the attached fliers (see link below) and on our website at haverhillpromise.com/postercontest
https://whittier.haverhill-ps.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/28/2021/01/Poster-Design-Contest-1.pdf
We will be selecting one winner from each participating school whose poster will be printed and displayed at their school, and 4 city-wide winners (1 each from Pre-K, K-2nd, 3rd-5th and 6th-8th) who will win a $100 gift card and have their poster design printed and displayed around the city as well as on HC Media’s digital billboard.
- ATTENDANCE POLICY AND EXPECTATIONS: Here is a reminder of our attendance policy. In this new model of schooling where students are learning from both school and home, attendance and participation in all classes is one of our major concerns. Here are some things to know and we would greatly appreciate it if you reviewed all of these expectations and policies with your students:
- If you are absent for 10% of the school year, you are considered to be “chronically” absent. That means that if you have missed 4 or more days to this point.
- We have begun reaching out via mail with attendance letters for students that we are currently concerned are missing too much time.
- It is the expectation that all students are either present physically or signed on remotely at 8:30am each day.
- It is the requirement that students attend all of their classes for the duration of the class time. Leaving a meet/class early is equivalent to walking out of class without permission.
- In addition to sending home letters, we will also be setting up attendance meetings with students and families to address concerns and lend support, and in some cases we will be conducting home visits to do this as well.
- The first step toward school success is attendance. You cannot be successful in school if you are not showing up. Please reach out to us so that we can set up a plan to best support you and your student(s).
- Please note that while it is good practice to make your student’s homeroom teacher aware of any absences or appointments, it is most important that you are contacting the main office of the school each and any time that your student is going to be absent. Also, please make sure to forward all doctor’s notes and other absent notes to our main office. Thank you!
- Please click the link here to be connected to an updated district attendance policy: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AWglC4E6i12t0XcDfnpZJtOtt-xb8V_RBq4djELxd5g/edit?usp=sharing
- Wi-Fi Issues: If you are having WiFi issues at home and your student cannot log onto a Google Meet at the moment, please email the teacher or call the school so an office staff member can pass the info onto the teacher. Teachers take attendance every period and when a student does not show up for class, they don’t necessarily know that the student is having a tech issue.

Ms. Duquette: Happy New Year 5th Grade Families!
We are working on reading the novel, Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen. Students began by learning a bit about the author to understand his motivation for writing books. Each chapter will be posted in the google classroom for students to be able to go back to the reading as needed for extension activities and assignments. Students may also choose to reread this with someone at home in order to have additional conversations about the reading and to share what we are learning. We will be focusing on determining and identifying meaning of unknown words and phrases as we read to improve upon our vocabulary skills. Students will be encouraged to “own” these words in their speaking and writing. We are also improving our journal writing skills. Students will be expected to develop stronger pieces of writing using more content and correct grammar and mechanics structure.
Ms. Spadaro: This week, we began dividing decimals. Students divided decimals by powers of 10, estimated to find quotients, and used long division to find exact quotients. We reviewed student responsibilities, such as taking notes, showing work, and meeting deadlines. Ask your child to show you the division dance!
