FEATURED STUDENTS:
HSD Student Equity Team
Students from our secondary schools joined HSD's administrative team at their monthly meeting on Tuesday, January 10, and helped facilitate a deep, rich discussion around equity. The students were engaging, insightful, forthright, and wise beyond their years. We truly appreciated their participation and all of the work they are doing at their schools to improve climate and culture for all students and staff.

Inclement Weather Decisions
|
|
UPCOMING
EVENTS
JANUARY |
|
|
Students in HSD have now missed eight days of school due to inclement weather. Closure decisions were based on the safety of students, staff, and parents, keeping in mind that we have students who walk, bike, drive, are driven to, and take the bus to school. We are currently working on a
plan to recapture lost instructional time
with students.
