Welcome Back to School!
Haskin Elementary School- August 2023
A Message from Ms. Venetucci
I am incredibly excited to be back for year two with our amazing Haskin family. I have worked in several schools and I can honestly say that this is a one-of-a-kind school community.
I am looking forward to getting to know our new little ones that will be entering our doors next week and the supportive families that they go home to each day. I know with all my heart that this is going to be a very successful school year.
There are some "must know" informational pieces provided below. There will be additional information coming home in the first days and weeks of school.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions that you may have!
Ms. Martha Venetucci
