Safety Procedures: A Message from the Superintendent
Our nation has seen too many incidents of tragic and frightening violence in our public schools. Keeping students and staff safe and providing a solid instructional environment is our district’s top priority.
At HJUHSD, we have safety practices in place to help protect our students from physical harm and to foster a healthy, productive environment for them everyday. We review these policies and procedures regularly to ensure our schools are among the safest places they can be. These protocols include:
Even with all the above measures, school safety is community effort. I encourage all of our students, staff, parents and community members to report any safety concerns to school administration or local law enforcement.
I welcome your ideas, questions or concerns you may have regarding school safety or emergency preparedness.
Thank you,
William L. Fishbough

Hanford Joint Union High School District
At HJUHSD, we have safety practices in place to help protect our students from physical harm and to foster a healthy, productive environment for them everyday. We review these policies and procedures regularly to ensure our schools are among the safest places they can be. These protocols include:
- Controlled Access: Perimeter fencing is in place around all campuses and all exterior gates remained locked and monitored during school hours.
- Visitor Registration: All school visitors must enter through the school office and register with school safety staff before gaining access to school grounds.
- Identification Badges: All district staff and guests must wear district ID badges at all times on school grounds.
- Video Cameras: Digital cameras monitor and record activity throughout our campuses. This helps staff and law enforcement deter and investigate vandalism, theft, fights or other dangerous or criminal activities in and around our schools.
- School Resource Officers: Our district has a strong partnership with the Hanford Police Department. Specially trained HPD officers are assigned to our schools to provide security, perform safety duties, and investigate student safety issues.
- Tip Lines: Tip lines allow anyone to call or text to alert authorities about potential issues.
- HH: 583-7877 (PUPS)
- HW: 584-4947 (HWHS)
- SP: 640-7447
- EF: 582-1515
- Emergency Training and Safety Drills: Regular safety drills ensure our students and staff know what to do in the event of an emergency. Drills include but are not limited to: Evacuation, Shelter-in-Place, Lockdown, and Drop, Cover, and Hold.
- School Safety Plan: Each School has a thorough Safety Plan in place that is reviewed and updated regularly. These plans encompass many issues designed to prevent and prepare for a variety of emergency events. School safety teams discuss these issues throughout the year to be prepared to respond in a timely and accurate manner should the need arise.
- Counseling and Mental Health Support: School counselors and psychologists and local health agencies are available for students struggling with personal issues and strive to support the health and safety of all students.
- Crisis Communications: The district has a robust communications plan in place to ensure key staff are informed of an emergency situation. In turn, parents and other stakeholders can be informed quickly via phone, email and social media of any information about emergencies or credible threats to student safety. Our goal is to quickly and accurately communicate essential information to first responders, district staff, students, parents and community members as needed to ensure student safety throughout any emergency. Be assured that if we have any information about safety issues or even credible potential concerns, we will communicate those with our staff and parents as quickly and thoroughly as possible.
Even with all the above measures, school safety is community effort. I encourage all of our students, staff, parents and community members to report any safety concerns to school administration or local law enforcement.
I welcome your ideas, questions or concerns you may have regarding school safety or emergency preparedness.

Nurse's Newsletter: Winter Health
NURSE’S NEWSLETTER
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
December 2017
Winter Health Reminders:
A healthy school environment requires the cooperation and effort of us all working together. During this time of year we tend to see a higher incidence of strep throat, respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses. The nurses of HJUHSD would like to remind everyone that they can help to protect themself and their families from many of illnesses. Follow the Habits for Good Health listed below recommended by the Center for Disease Control:
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you do not have a tissue, cover your mouth and nose with the inside of your elbow.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water especially after you cough or sneeze. If you are not near water, use an alcohol based hand sanitizer.
- Stay away as much as you can from people who are sick. If you or your child gets the flu, stay home from work or school. Do not go near other people so that you don’t make them sick too.
- Try not to touch your eyes or mouth. Germs often spread this way.
- Dress for the weather. Come to school dressed for the winter. Remember, the air that is trapped inside your clothing, warmed by your body heat, is the best protection from the cold.
Handwashing - Do You Know?
- Nearly 22 million school days are lost each year due to the common cold.
- 52.2 million cases of the common cold affect children under 17 each year.
- Children have about 6-10 colds a year.
- Adults average 2-4 colds a year.
- Some viruses and bacteria can live from 20 minutes up to 2 hours or more on surfaces like cafeteria tables, doorknobs, and desks.
According to the CDC's official statement on handwashing, “the most important thing that you can do to keep from getting sick is to wash your hands.” Many studies indicate the impact of handwashing on student and staff attendance -- school-wide handwashing programs reduce absenteeism
Let’s fight the flu together!
Your decision to get the flu shot or not goes well beyond you. It also affects the many lives you touch. Influenza is a contagious disease of the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs) that can lead to serious complications, including pneumonia and the worsening of other chronic health conditions. Flu symptoms may include fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and muscle aches.The best way to protect your family from new influenza strains is to get vaccinated each year. Consult your physician about the flu vaccine. Flu vaccine is available at your physician’s office, local pharmacies, and the The Kings County Health Department. The link listed below shows the schedules for 2017-18 seasonal flu.The list provides the city, date, time, and location where you can get the influenza vaccine.
Follow good health guidelines: eat right, exercise, and get plenty of rest to help boost your immunity to fight the effects of colds and flu. Wash hands frequently, do the elbow cough, and disinfect hot spots at school, work, and home. Treat the symptoms if you must, but avoid giving aspirin to children because it may cause a rare but serious illness called Reye syndrome.
Enjoy a healthy holiday season!

Health Update: About the Zika Virus
The Zika virus is an infectious disease transmitted to people by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes (yellow fever mosquitoes) and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes (Asian tiger mosquitoes).
How do people get Zika?
- Through the bite of infected mosquitoes: A mosquito can only transmit Zika virus after it bites a person who has the virus. Then the mosquito transmits the virus to another person. Through sexual contact with an infected person.
- Through pregnancy/birth from a pregnant woman to her fetus/baby. Zika virus infection in pregnant women can cause microcephaly (abnormally small head and brain), other serious brain abnormalities in newborns, and stillbirth. This occurs after a pregnant woman infected with Zika virus passes the virus to her developing fetus.
- Zika is NOT transmitted directly from one person to another through casual contact such as touching an infected person.
Where does Zika Occur?
The yellow fever and Asian tiger mosquitoes are not native to California. Zika occurs in many tropical and sub-tropical areas of the world, particularly in Africa, Southeast Asia, and islands in the Pacific Ocean. Recent outbreaks have occurred in the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Mexico. However, in August 2016, local transmission was confirmed in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

Recent outbreaks have occurred in the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Mexico. However, in August 2016, local transmission was confirmed in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
What are the symptoms and treatment of Zika?
Most people infected with Zika virus have no symptoms.
If symptoms develop, the most common are fever, rash, joint pain, and/or red eyes.
Symptoms begin a few days to a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito or having unprotected sex with an infected partner.
The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week.
Currently, there is no specific treatment for Zika. Discuss with your physician about medications to help reduce these symptoms; plenty of rest and fluid intake are also helpful. Most people will feel better in about a week.
What can people do to keep from getting Zika?
- There is no vaccine to prevent Zika. In areas where Zika is present, everyone, including pregnant women and women of childbearing age, should protect themselves from mosquito bites:
- Apply EPA-registered mosquito repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or para-menthane-diol to exposed skin and clothing.
- Using insect repellent is safe and effective. Children, pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding can and should choose an EPA-registered insect repellent and use it according to the product label.
- Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Wear lightweight, loose fitting clothing during the warmer months.
- Use air conditioning or window/door screens or mosquito net to keep mosquitoes outside.
- Because of the potential transmission of Zika virus through sex, the risk for sexual transmission of Zika virus can be eliminated by abstinence and reduced by correct and consistent use of condoms. Both asymptomatic and symptomatic men and women who have traveled to an area of active Zika virus transmission and have a pregnant partner should abstain from sexual activity or use condoms consistently and correctly during sex for the duration of the pregnancy.
- Conduct routine mosquito control
- Treat standing water that will not be used for drinking or swimming with larvicides.
- Use outdoor and indoor insecticides according to label instructions to kill mosquitoes. Repair screens on windows and doors.
- Check your yard often for water-filled containers. Clean, empty, or cover those containers that hold water where mosquitoes could lay eggs.
- If you are sick with fever, rash, red eyes, or joint pain within 2 weeks after returning from a trip where Zika occurs, contact your physician.
- Contact your local vector control agency or health department if you detect unusual numbers of mosquitoes or you are being bitten during the day.
