Ms. Saba
It has been a terrific start to the 2013-2014 school year. Last year, our enrichment hour brought many
wonderful opportunities and experiences for our students. This year, we have been able to expand our
program with a new science curriculum. This supports our initiatives focused on S.T.E.A.M Education.
(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math). The students and faculty are enjoying this focus as
well as the physical movement, character education, and the arts.

Enrichment Schedule
Mon. Tues. Thurs. & Fri.

Character Education & Cooperative Sports & Science
We will be following this schedule until February when students will be given new opportunities. We
will also be adding some additional activities such as chorus, cooking, yearbook, school store, service
learning and MCAS Mania. Thank you for your continued support as we develop our exciting
programming!
A couple of very important things you can do to ensure your child’s success and safety:
 Have your child here on time. They are late after 7:50 a.m.
 Unless your child has an appointment, please leave them in school for the entire school day
 Please pick your child up from school on-time (3:55 Mon. Tues. Thurs. Fri.) (3:00 Wednesdays)
 Have your child in the proper clothing
 Please use crosswalks at dismissal. This has once again become problematic and creates a safety
concern for the entire Huntington School community.
We are partners in providing your child with an excellent educational experience and we value your
support.
Absentee Phone Line:
508 580- 7065
Please make sure to call the absentee line before 8:00 AM if your child will not be in school. The parent
or guardian must make the phone call. Phone calls made by students are not acceptable and every effort will be
made to contact the parent. Upon their return to school, students must bring a note stating the dates absent and
reason, signed by the parent or guardian. After an absence of 5 days a doctor’s note is required.
Tardy Arrivals
All students arriving AT 7:50 am are considered TARDY & must be accompanied by an
adult, and signed in at the office.
No students should be dropped off to enter the building alone.
From Your Parent Liaison
As a parent I’m sure you are paying attention to the choices
that affect your children’s education. One very effective way
to do that is to join the school P.T.O. (Parent Teacher
Organization)
The P.T.O. is a community of dedicated parents & teachers
that join together to provide the school and it’s students
with the highest advantages in education. With active
participation the P.T.O. manages activities, programs, and
fundraising events that make a difference in the quality of
education and experiences for the children in your life.
The only qualification in joining the P.T.O. is to be a
parent/guardian or teacher of a student in the school.
Joining the P.T.O. allows you to be involved in your
children’s education, get connected with the school, and to
meet and share concerns with other parents and teachers. It
also gives you a voice on important school issues. Being a
member of the P.T.O. involves attending a meeting once per
month and volunteering for school functions and various
other activities. Participation is welcome and needed in
many ways, whether you are an at home or working parent
we encourage you to share your abilities for the
betterment of our children.
The new school year has started and you are urged to attend
and become part of the Huntington School P.T.O. on the
first Monday of each month at 6:00 pm. Light
refreshments may be served, and babysitting is provided.
Our first meeting will be on Oct. 7th.

Friendly Reminders
Important Times:
Breakfast is served at 7:30 a.m.
School Begins at 7:45 AM
Students arriving at 7:50 AM. are TARDY and will need
to report to the office with an adult to sign in.
The academic day is:
7:50 AM – 3:55 PM Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, & Friday
Wednesday dismissal time is 3:00 PM
Half-day dismissal is at 11:15 AM
Please make every effort to avoid dismissing your child
during these hours as it not only effects your child’s
learning process but disrupts the entire class.
RESPECT, RESPONDSIBILITY,
KINDNESS, & SAFETY
