Class of 2020

In light of the recent decision that school will continue online for the remainder of the school year, Jostens will be including Cap and Gown delivery tomorrow, Wednesday April 1, 2020. Please see the Drive Up Delivery directions and come pick up your graduation announcements along with your Cap and Gowns. We are still hopeful that we will be permitted to hold a Graduation ceremony to celebrate our seniors. We miss all of you. Continue to DOMINATE knowing that together, we will get through!

We are hopeful that each of you doing well and that this communication finds you in good health.  As administrators and teachers, we are mindful of the feelings of fear that you have regarding the closure of school. We know that many of you are worried about the impact the closure will have on the final quarter of your high school career and the impact on your grades, prom, concerts, and graduation. If you have questions, please reach out. we are here for you.

It is easy to deal in rumor and sensationalism. The ability to keep and maintain a positive perspective in trying times is difficult especially in times of upheaval and uncertainty. We are reminded of the opening stanza of the Rudyard Kipling poem simply entitled, “If”.

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too.

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

We encourage you read the rest of the poem. It has been a source of encouragement for many throughout the world.

 As always Black Hawks, DOMINATE.

ParentVue is the HUSD portal to student grades and attendance history. Higley’s 6th grade, middle school and high school parents use ParentVue for course request approvals for the upcoming school year.

The Higley District is adding new features to the system. Beginning in January 2020, ParentVue can be used to submit new student registration forms and submit open enrollment forms. Families will use ParentVue in Spring 2020 to complete re-enrollment forms.

Families that have not activated their ParentVue accounts, but have an e-mail on file with the district, will soon receive an e-mail from ParentVue inviting them to activate their ParentVue accounts. Directions will be provided in the email to access to this communication tool.

Open enrollment forms available

Families that wish to open enroll their student/s into a campus other than their neighborhood school may submit an open enrollment application for the 2020-2021 school year. Applications can be downloaded from the Higley website and submitted to the campus of choice. Space may be limited.
Families currently open enrolled on a campus do not need to submit an application if they plan to stay at that site.
