High Desert School Hawk Happenings
Week of November 27, 2023
Good evening High Desert Hawks and Families,
Campus Expectations
This week, please review the following campus expectations with students.
- Cell Phones - High Desert School participates in the Away for the Day campaign to put cell phones and other distractions away so that important learning can take place while students are in school. Please remind your student that their cell phone belongs off and in their backpack while on campus.
- 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 at the field area and not play out on the campus grounds as there is no HDS supervision outside of the field area during football games.
- Raising great kids is a team effort! Check out this article for some advice on phrases kids need to hear before they become adults.
- AVID - This week we are working on completing the i-Ready Diagnostic Testing in Math.
- SEL - This week we continue Gratitude Week. Students are learning more about their emotions and how showing gratitude can improve their outlook on life.
