Message from the Superintendent: School Visitors

As part of our continuing efforts to maintain and safe and secure campuses, HJUHSD campuses will begin stricter visitor check-in processes at all of our schools this semester.

All campus visitors are already required to check in at the school office during regular school hours. Beginning next week, visitors will be asked to provide a valid legal identification, such as a driver's license, in exchange for a Visitor's Pass before they can access other areas of the campus. Visitors will be escorted to their destination and then escorted back to the office, where their identification will be returned to them.

These stricter procedures, combined with other measures to ensure campus security through the day, are part of our ongoing efforts to continue to safeguard our students and we appreciate your cooperation.

Thank you for your support of our schools. I wish all of our students and families a safe and productive semester.

Bill Fishbough
Superintendent

Back to School! Semester begins Jan. 14

Classes begin January 14! 
The new semester brings new activities, including new academic challenges, spring sports and events, state testing, and even registration for classes for the next school year. Remember, daily attendance is a key factor in student success: All students should be at school on time and ready to work and, whenever possible, appointments should be made outside of the school day, to avoid missed class time.

We hope that all of our students, staff and families had a fun and relaxing Winter Break and we look forward to seeing you all Monday!
