Trojan Times
By: Principal Dufrene
Hello HHS,
We made it through our first full 5 day work week at HHS. Great job by students and staff in and out of the classroom working hard each day. Our goal is to get better each day, each week by putting forth our best effort with a good attitude. Together, we got this!
Attendance...if you are being marked absent in Schoology by all of your classes, you should reach out to the school and make sure your Virtual School Registration paperwork is turned in correctly.
Parent Access codes were sent home last week with all students. If your child is attending school in person, you can ask them for it. If your child is a virtual learner or you have not received the information you can fill out using the link below...
All courses for the entire year are showing up on Schoology at this time, we are on a 4x4 block schedule, which means our students only have 4 classes per semester, 8 for the year (4 in the fall and 4 in the spring).
School Picture Day is set for Friday, September 25th. Memories Made Studios will be here to take pictures of all 9th, 10th, and 11th graders. We are working with the company to see how we can set up a session for our students that are virtual learners at this time.
Our county-color changed from Green to Yellow. This means that there has been a slight increase in our Community Transmission rate. We are low Yellow which is good. This color change has been attributed to out of stat travel, not our schools. The only change for schools is that face coverings will be required for 6th through 12th grades at all times, unless there is a doctor or parent note. We continue to work closely with our school nurse, Mrs. Dante and the Department of Health for proper health guidelines. Please review color chart below.
