Good morning Charger Nation!
Happy Saturday!
We had a great week at Consentino this past week with our Meet Your Rep Night. Huge shoutout to our Student Council, Mrs. Cabrera-Vicente, and all of our reps for making that event happen! I also want to take a moment to shout out our Academic Bowl teams and Ms. Johnson for their hard-fought season. There are some great things happening on the hill!
This week, we begin ELA MCAS testing with Grade 5 testing on Tuesday/Wednesday, followed by Grade 6 on Thursday/Friday. Grades 7 and 8 will be tested next week. While attendance is important every day, it is imperative that kids are at school on time each day during testing so they are set up for success and ready to go. Please remember that breakfast is served in the cafe each day starting at 8:05 am, and it is free to all students. Please ensure that your child is at school no later than 8:30 am on testing days.
Looking forward to our Chargers showing off what they know!
Have a great weekend!

8th Grade Yearbook:
Cover Art: Cover Art submissions are being accepted from now until April 17th! Covers can be designed on a blank white piece of 8.5 x 11 paper if students would like to hand-draw/color a cover submission, or they can be designed online and sent to Ms. Shea by email as a PDF. All cover submissions for the front or back cover are due by April 17th. If students would like to see samples from previous years, they can stop by room 32.
Orders: Order forms for yearbooks were sent out before the February break. Yearbooks will now be $11 each, which includes shipping. If the cost is an issue, please speak to Ms. Shea in room 32 directly. Yearbook order forms need to be filled out and returned with payment by April 17th.
The PTO has generously offered to help to pay for yearbooks by giving $5 for each yearbook, bringing the cost per book from $16 to $11. If your student has already paid and would like their $5 refund, please have them see Ms. Shea in room 32. If not, we will put the extra money towards the staff books and any students who cannot afford one.
Baby Photos: We often do a Guess Who for the last few pages of the yearbook. Baby photos can be brought as a physical photo to Ms. Shea in Room 32 or a digital version can be emailed directly to Ms. Shea at samantha.shea@haverhill-ps.org. Baby Photos are due by April 17th.
For any other questions, please email Ms. Shea at samantha.shea@haverhill-ps.org.
