Message from the Superintendent |

Dear HUSD Community,
We did it! I say “we” because the pandemic has made this a difficult school year for students and adults alike--that includes me. It’s been a year where we’ve needed to ask for help, where we’ve learned what it means to pay attention to our mental health, and one that requires us to give each other space to not always be at our best.
This past week in particular has been exhilarating and overwhelming, as celebrations are mixed with a busy end-of-year time. I’ve attended our high school graduations and they've been a reminder of how inspiring our Made in Hayward students are. The graduating class of 2021 is moving on after this challenging year and taking all of their life experiences to the next phase of their lives. The many universities and colleges (see below) that will be welcoming our students to their campuses in the fall are fortunate to benefit from our students’ leadership and knowledge.
After more than a year of Zoom and drive-thru events, I must say that I can’t wait to start the 2021-22 school year fully in-person. While there’s still many unanswered questions about how schools will be required to respond to new protocols, our planning teams have been working to plan for how to safely welcome our students and staff back to school and work sites. More importantly, you should know that our focus is on creating a caring community that ensures we emerge from this pandemic in full support of our staff and student needs.
For my part, I’m going to enjoy some time off this summer. I hope that you all take care of yourselves and find time to do things that bring you joy.
Sincerely,
|
Matt Wayne, Ed.D.
