Message from the Superintendent
|
Dear HUSD Community,
During the month of December, HUSD staff will be recruiting students to various career and college preparation programs that HUSD offers. I urge you to help students and families find out about these opportunities. Our district enjoys strong partnerships with local universities and the many outreach programs that work to provide a critical bridge from our secondary schools to a variety of higher education opportunities.
Our college-going culture is being cultivated among our youngest students. I had the honor of presenting students at Treeview Elementary with Student of the Month certificates for their hard work. It’s a great reminder that regardless of age or grade, students are building a strong foundation in preparation for college, career, and life. I hope you have a wonderful holiday break and I encourage you to make student attendance a priority even towards the festive end of the year.
Sincerely,
|
Matt Wayne, Ed.D.
Superintendent

College Courses for Middle & High School Students
|
Now enrolling!
The 2020 YEP Bridge to College courses are set to begin January 27, 2020, at Bret Harte, Chavez, King, Ochoa and Winton middle schools and Hayward, Mt. Eden and Tennyson high schools. Students can enroll in college-level courses taught by Chabot College instructors, including Drama, Sociology, Anthropology, Ethnic Studies, and Sign Language.
This is the only program of its kind in California, which offers college courses on our own secondary school campuses, directly after school. Bridge to College gives students the opportunity to take courses that meet general education requirements for the California State University system and, in many instances, the University of California system.

Mt. Eden Student Takes the Stage
|
Jordan performed his poem on the life and significance of Benjamin Banneker, a free African-American almanac author, surveyor, naturalist, and farmer who helped survey the original borders of the District of Columbia.

Did you know that poor attendance can influence whether children read proficiently by the end of third grade? By 6th grade, chronic absence becomes a leading indicator that a student will drop out of high school. Last month, several schools were recognized for their commitment to improving attendance at their sites.
Congratulations to
Bowman Elementary, Brenkwitz High,
Hayward High
, Schafer Park Elementary, Southgate Elementary, Tennyson High, Tyrrell Elementary, and Winton Middle School.

HUSD Strategic Plan Update
|

Operational Sustainability
|
|
On November 14, HUSD held a “flip-the-switch” event in honor of its 5.3MW solar photovoltaic and integrated electric vehicle (EV) and battery storage project.
Through the collaborative partnership with ENGIE, HUSD’s energy upgrade represents a new approach to enhancing the learning environment, both inside and outside of the classroom – a key tenet of Hayward’s Bond Measure H, which provides funding for facility upgrades. The program is expected to generate $65 million in energy savings that can go directly back to the General Fund.
