John C. Haines Elementary School

Welcome to John C. Haines Elementary School

This website is just one of many opportunities for communication between Haines School, students and their parents. It is intended to provide beneficial information regarding policies, procedures and programs at John C. Haines.

There are many options for parents to become involved in their child’s education. Parents are encouraged to contact their child’s teachers and the school administration whenever they have questions, comments and concerns.

We encourage you to become active participants in your child’s school. Come out and share your suggestions for school improvement and increase your knowledge about various topics sponsored by teachers and parent organizations. Visit the Parent Center and become more familiar with Haines Local School Council, Parent Advisory Council and Bilingual Advisory Council. You are invited to their meetings each month.

Parents, guardians, grandparents and other interested citizens are encouraged to participate in the educational experiences of children through our volunteer program. Please contact us at 773-534-9200 for further information.
