On April 26th, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., The Higley Unified School District's Higley Leadership Academy will host an E-Waste Day, offering the community a chance to responsibly recycle old electronics. The event will take place at Higley Schools District Office Parking Lot located at  2935 South Recker Road, and is open to all local residents.

This initiative invites individuals, families, and businesses to drop off unwanted or outdated electronics, including computers, radios, cell phones, and more. The goal is to ensure that these items are properly recycled, keeping harmful waste out of local landfills and promoting sustainability within the community.

Did you know you are able to report an absence via ParentVUE?  It is very simple to do!  Log into ParentVUE, click on the blue Report Absence button next to your student's name, enter a start and end date (if just 1 day, the dates are the same), and select a reason.  You can leave a brief note in the Note box and you can upload doctors note if desired.   If you are able to report an absence prior to 10:00 a.m., you will not receive the auto-dialer phone call.  This is the preferred method, but as always, you can continue to call the attendance line - option 2 for attendance.
