Good Afternoon!
The Hartford Union High School District has been committed to face-to-face learning since our Return to Learn Plan was developed this past summer and implemented when we returned to school in the Fall. Our students, families, community, and staff should be commended for the way we have rallied together and supported one another during these challenging times. These past 5+ months have posed many obstacles, and only a few districts can share proudly that school has been open each and every day for face-to-face learning.
With that, our Return to Learn Plan has been driven by operational procedures that have allowed us to reach the month of February with a great deal of success. These procedures include many mitigation strategies but are not limited to social distancing, face coverings, and limiting movement and activity on campus.
We cannot lose focus on these proactive measures, and together we will navigate the coming weeks and months successfully with a commitment to do whatever it takes to stay open for students and maintain the safety and health of those who call our campus home each day.
Thanks for your support!
Go Orioles!
Jeffrey A. Walters
Superintendent

West commons and drama lecture hall construction.
Beginning today the west commons and drama lecture hall will be unavailable as the construction walls are now in place isolating these areas.
Because of the proximity to the construction zone, the center stairwell has been designated an emergency exit only. Students must use the stairwells at each end of the back hallway to access social studies and math classrooms.
These areas will be under construction for several months. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your patience and understanding while these spaces are renovated to enhance your extracurricular and learning experiences here at HUHS.

Hartford Wrestling Practice Facility Campaign |
The Hartford Athletic Department and Wrestling Program are excited to announce that on Monday, November 16, the HUHS School District approved plans to construct a new wrestling practice facility. This facility has been designed for year-round training and will become the new home for both the HUHS Wrestling team and the Hartford Youth Wrestling Program. We are very excited to be able to offer this exclusive space for the wrestling programs in our community.
This new facility will provide three full wrestling mats with subfloor as well as wall mats for our wrestlers’ safety. The space will also be conducive to hosting Hartford Wrestling Club dual meets. To make this practice facility a reality, we are asking the HUHS wrestling community, alumni, wrestling families, friends, and businesses to help us raise funds to cover the cost of the subfloor, mats, and training equipment.
We have already received a $10,000 mat sponsorship from the Hartford Wrestling Club! Thank you!
All gifts to the Hartford wrestling practice facility campaign are tax deductible and will be recognized in a donor display in the Hartford wrestling practice facility. Outlined below are several opportunities for you to contribute to this exciting project. Thank you in advance for your support!

Special Adaptive Swim Lessons
The Hartford Parks and Recreation Department is offering Special Adaptive Swim Lessons. If interested, applications are due February 15 with the class starting February 24 – March 24 Wednesday nights.
The goal is to create three classes of up to 4 students that are at the same level of swim ability. One class may be for those that have never been in the water. And the other classes will be students that have swam competitively. Or maybe there would be a class of students that fall in between never swam before and swam competitively. It will just all depend on those that apply on what type of classes there would be. Class start times could be 5, 5:45 or 6:30.
If interested complete the attached ‘application” and return by mail, email or drop off at the Recreation Center. Staff will look through the applications and make up to three classes that will have up to 4 similarly experienced swimmers. You will be contacted once classes have been arranged. At that point, payment would be required.
Below in the description from the Hartford Recreation Department Activity Guide:
Special Adaptive (Ages 5+)
Applications for Special Adaptive Swim lessons are now being accepted. Applications will be reviewed to create classes of 4 students, grouping the applicants into times to create the best learning environment for all students. Some classes may require a parent/adult in the water with the student. Applications of the students not chosen will be kept for review and placement in the next session.
Applications Due: Jan. 4 / Feb. 15 / March 29
Class Held: Wednesdays
Dates:
Session 1: Jan. 13 - Feb. 17
Session 2: Feb. 24 - Mar. 24
