Eucalyptus Elementary had a Real Talk parent meeting hosted by Desert Mountain Children's Center. Their guest speaker was Craig Cleveland who is a Prevention and Intervention Specialist at our local SELPA. He provided information on bullying and support for parents at home. School Police Officer Lacey also attended the meeting to answer any questions that community members had. The meeting was very informational and aligns with Eucalyptus' KOALA STRIVE program that helps build positive relationships between students on campus. Together staff, students, and parents are all finding ways to make Eucalyptus the best place for our students and community.
The 4th annual Believe student conference helped so many students that it had to be split into 2 sessions in 2024. Today was the Middle School session where eligible students from Hesperia and Victor districts learned about awesome resources and heard inspirational speaker messages and even got to see some magic tricks. A special thanks to our district's social worker Cynthia Thoele for planning and putting on the event!
Today's #SchoolSiteHighlight has us at Krystal Elementary School for their eSports program run by Mrs. Boatwright before school. The students had a bunch of fun honing their skills for the district tournament in December. Traditional athletics are just the beginning of how HUSD staff and schools offer before/after school activities to engage students!
Kingston Elementary had a Veterans Day assembly on Friday November 8. Sultana High Schools' ROTC presented colors and brought the big American flag to accompany the Pledge of Allegiance. Our Tiny Tot Cheer and Cheerleading Club gave stellar performances. Mrs. Farris' class sang "You're a Grand Old Flag", Mrs. Ramirez's Kinders sang "This Land is Your Land" in Spanish, and Mrs. Centeno's 4th graders sang "We are the World." They also had solos from students Odette and Olivia. Kingston and all of HUSD want to thank all of the veterans that have served our country. We wish you a very happy Veterans Day.

Congratulations to Oak Hills High School's football team. The Bulldogs have done it again! With a resounding 49-0 victory over Burroughs, they've secured their fourth consecutive championship title. What an incredible four-year run for this program.
Today's #SchoolSiteHighlight is in Mr. Rodriguez' AVID class at Cedar Middle. The class did a team code deciphering exercise & tutorials with AVID college tutors. All HUSD middle & high schools have AVID programs which are focused on supporting the teaching of core curriculum, but also teaching the organizational skills to prepare students for college & the workforce. Great job Spartans!

HUSD would like to remind all stakeholders of our Anonymous Reporting Program. Anonymous Reporting posters are placed in all classrooms and offices throughout the district and provide a way for our students, parents, or community to report safety concerns anonymously. Reports are sent to the HUSD school police for proper handling. In HUSD we believe safety is a team sport and we would like to remind all our stakeholders that if you see something, say something. By working together we hope to continue to provide the safest environment possible for our students and staff.
