May 25, 2022 - Community Notice
Dear HUSD Community,
We are shocked and deeply saddened by the news of the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Texas on Tuesday. We share in the heartbreak we are all feeling for the families who have lost a loved one due to this senseless act of violence.
School should and must be a place where students and employees feel completely safe and secure. As an added precaution, we are working with our local law enforcement officials to have an increased police presence in and around our buildings for the remainder of the week. There will be additional precautions in place for our summer programs.
Please join us in keeping the students, staff, and families of the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District in our thoughts at this time.
Sincerely,
HUSD Leadership

HUSD Announcement: Viral Social Media Trend
Dear HUSD community,
We would like to make parents and guardians aware of a TikTok Challenge gaining attention and increased participation among students nationwide. This challenge is being circulated on social media, encouraging the vandalism and theft of school property, mainly focusing on school restrooms.
Through this challenge, theft and vandalism is being glamorized as individuals film and post these acts on social media. Our district leadership would like to inform students and families that the Higley Unified School District student code of conduct has zero tolerance for this type of behavior. Students who engage in this behavior will be disciplined, which can include expulsion and the involvement of law enforcement.
We ask that you please speak with your students at home regarding these actions. Additionally, if you hear or see anything concerning, please notify your school immediately. You can also report this through the HUSD Safe Hotline by emailing safe.hotline@husd.org or by calling 480.279.7233.
Thank you for your continued support.
HUSD Leadership
