High Desert School Hawk Happenings
Week of October 30, 2023
Good evening High Desert Hawks and Families,
Campus Expectations
This week, please review the following campus expectations with students.
- After-School Supervision - Students are expected to be picked up in front of the school. We do not recommend that students walk to or wait at the AMPM or McDonalds. There is no HDS supervision at any local establishments.
- Sports Supervision - Students who are present to watch sports games MUST be accompanied by an adult. Students who are spectators are not able to hang out on campus waiting for the games to begin. All students and guests who watch the games are asked to remain in the gym and not play out on the campus grounds as there is no HDS supervision outside of the gym area.
- Helping Build Students Executive Functioning
- AVID - We are learning about the origins of Halloween and the history of Day of the Dead celebrations.
- SEL - October is Anti-Bullying Month. Students are learning about what bullying is and how to prevent and stop bullying.
