We would like to remind families who are interested in making a tax credit donation this season, that this can be made for any one of our schools through our HUSD website.

An individual may claim a nonrefundable tax credit for making cash contributions or for certain fees paid to a public school located in Arizona.

To qualify for the credit, an individual must make contributions for qualifying expenditures per A.R.S. § 43-1089.01. The credit is equal to the amount of fees paid or cash contributions, not to exceed $400 for married filing joint filers and $200 for all other filing statuses. For more information, please visit Arizona Department of Revenue.

We appreciate your support!

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.

Student drop off and pick up is in the front of the school.  The parking lot off of Recker is for teacher parking and busses only.  For the safety of our students, please use the front parking lot only for student drop off and pick up.  In addition, please do not park along Elona or on the side streets or in the driveways.  There is no parking in and along these areas.  Thank you for helping keep our students safe.

As a reminder, emergency contacts are designated adults that are able to pick up your student when they need to leave school due to a medical emergency. The school cannot release a student to an emergency contact for other reasons such as to go to lunch, appointments, etc.  To release a student during the school day to someone other than a parent/guardian, the school needs parent permission ahead of time.  Thank you!

In order to minimize the disruptions to instruction, we are restricting deliveries to students to items that are essential to the educational process. Therefore, classes will not be interrupted for delivery of items.

If it is absolutely necessary to drop off an item for your student, it will be stored in the front office storage area.  Your student can come and get their item between classes or during lunch.  Please note that we are not responsible for dropped off items.  Due to allergies and other possible food restrictions, lunch may be dropped off for your student only.

Please note that parents/students are not allowed to order Door Dash, Grub Hub, etc.  Any orders that arrive to campus will be collected and held for pick up after school in the front office. 

No liquids other than water are allowed into the building and will be discarded.  

The front office will NOT be responsible for delivering items to students.

Please also note that we do our best to deliver phone messages.  Messages are delivered the last 5 minutes of a class period in order to not interrupt instructional time.

Thank you for your understanding!
