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!

A big congratulations to Hesperia High for earning this prestigious award.
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.

For today's #SchoolSiteHighlight we are going to Mrs. Stoddard's class at Cottonwood Elementary. In Mrs. Stoddard's class, students are diving into creativity with green screens, introducing themselves and sharing fun facts. They're also collaborating on amazing videos that explore energy transfer and the movement of matter in our environment. Plus, they're preparing to master the art of podcasting for unique book reports and historical storytelling!
But that's not all! Students are getting hands-on with 3D pens, crafting geometric shapes, and diving into discussions about classification. They challenge each other to calculate perimeters and areas, all while creating tutorials to share their knowledge. Join us in celebrating their creativity and curiosity! #LearningInAction #CottonwoodClassroom
On the heels of the California shake-out drill, the district wanted to thank all of our site administrators, staff, and students for properly completing all state and county-mandated drills each and every year. All schools and district offices conduct fire, code red, disaster, and other drills to maintain safety for all. Many of these drills involve parent notification alerts/texts/emails, which help inform our families of our safety protocols as well. These efforts are in accordance with the education code and the school site safety plans.
District drills are organized and run with our motto of, “practice like you play” in mind so that each school site is as prepared as possible. Thank you to all the staff, students, school police, and first responders who collaboratively conduct these drills all year long.
