Survey: Parent, student and staff input needed!

The Hanford Joint Union High School District needs parent, student and staff input as part of our grant application for the 21st Century ASSETs (After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens) Program.

This grant is made available through the California Department of Education. If awarded the grant, HJUHSD could receive more than $900,000 to provide an after school program for HJUHSD students. 

The ASSETs Program would allow the District to provide activities/classes for students that provide academic assistance such as tutoring and homework support, enrichment and family literacy. Students would start the After School Program, which would run Monday through Friday from 3:30 p.m. until at lest 5 p.m. with a healthy snack and then choose from a variety of academic or enrichment classes to attend. Students would also able to participate in several types of physical activities. A Credit Recovery Program would likely be offered for students needing to earn credit for graduation.

To successfully apply for the grant, the District needs to describe and identify collaborative partners - parents, students and teachers. Please help us by taking five minutes to complete the following survey before November 23



The survey will allow you to have input into the types of classes and activities the District would be able to provide for students through this program. Thank you in advance for your time and input!
