HHS Weekly Preview

• Let's Go, Fords! Let's Go, Fords!

• Lots of information in this email. Students receive these emails in their Haverford Gmail. The students should be reading all the valuable information. We cannot wait to see them all back at HHS on Tuesday!!!!

• School begins on Tuesday, September 3rd @ 7:25. All students head to 1st Block when they arrive at HHS. We will have plenty of adults assisting students to find their classes on Day 1 and beyond.

• Updated student schedules have been sent! We are not changing any schedules this weekend. We will begin the week with the schedules that are presently in PowerSchool. Schedules will not be adjusted except for extraordinary reasons. If you need to fill a Study Hall or are missing a required course, please reach out to your school counselor as soon as possible. Changes in schedules WILL NOT be made regarding teacher, block, or lunch preferences.

  Classes and lunches have been balanced. The schedule and assignment of faculty are based on students' course selections made each Spring.

• Lunch periods will be in the cafeterias and library. Library passes will be accessible on the first day. All administrators and other school personnel will BE IN THE LUNCHROOM assisting students during lunches throughout the first week to find the right fit for each student. THE STUDENTS WILL TEXT YOU THAT "THERE ARE NO SEATS LEFT IN LUNCH". THERE ARE 60 more seats than students in the lunchroom and 100 seats in the HHS Library-so there are plenty of seats. And outdoor seating when the weather is good.

• Freshmen bring your Middle School Chromebook on the 1st day so that you can receive a new Chromebook. If you attended HMS, you must swap your Chromebook on the 1stor 2nd day at HHS.

• DCIU Technical Education and Medical Careers students will receive an email from Ms. Katie Jones next week on their start times and opening day meetings at HHS.
