Flu Prevention Tips

Help prevent the spread of the seasonal flu by practicing the following tips not just during flu season, but all the time:

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Remember to cover coughs or sneezes using the inside of your elbow instead of your hands when a tissue is not available. 
• Wash your hands regularly: Plan ahead to make sure you have easy access to the supplies you need to practice good hand hygiene (soap and water or alcohol-based hand cleaners) and wash your hands often.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
• If you get sick, stay home: People with flu-like symptoms should stay at home until at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever or signs of flu (without fever-reducing medicine).
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfcases and items such as door knobs, school desks, keyboards, pens, etc.
• People who are pregnant or have health conditions that put them at higher risk for complications should see a doctor as soon as possible if  flu-like symptoms develop.

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!
