Haverhill schools are launching, what Superintendent Margaret Marotta calls, “key initiatives” for the new school year that starts Monday for staff.
These include the kindergarten through fifth grade rollout of “Wit and Wisdom” English language arts curriculum, the second year of Eureka Squared math, expansion of special education with substantially separate classrooms and an increase the number of multilingual learner teachers.
“Together, we will work to reduce chronic absenteeism, enhance family and community engagement, and ensure that every student feels a true sense of belonging in our schools,” Marotta said in an email welcoming school staff back for the new year.
The superintendent said the key initiatives are “all aimed at ensuring the well-being and success of our students.”
