Good evening Kingston families and staff. Due to the order by the Governor to stay home, the phones will not be on tomorrow, 3/20/20. We are so sorry for the inconvenience. Please keep watching our Facebook page or checking the district website for current information. Have a good evening and stay safe!
Kingston Families,
I want to thank our community for the support they have provided during these challenging times. The impact of the coronavirus is affecting every aspect of our lives and forcing us to find creative ways to adapt to this unprecedented situation. To protect the health of students and staff members, and to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, along with the San Bernardino County Superintendent’s Office, supports the Hesperia Unified School District and all districts throughout our County, to extend all school closures through Friday, May 1, 2020. Barring any further directives, we will plan on reopening schools on Monday, May 4.
Currently, on our web page, are supplemental learning resources for students by grade. Staff is currently working on distance learning operations, allowing teachers to develop and provide their students with lessons on-line. We are also developing a plan for distribution of Chromebooks for elementary students who may need them. Should your family not have internet access, these supplemental resources are available from your school site. You will just need to contact the school, where administration is available by phone to set up a time to pick them up. If no one answers, we ask that you please leave a message. When teachers’ lessons are available, you will be able to do this with the lessons as well. We are also investigating internet providers that are offering free or low cost internet services during this time. We are creating a Frequently Asked Questions section on our website and will keep this updated moving forward. I know there are many concerns about activities for our seniors, including graduation. I want to assure you that we want to provide these opportunities for our students who have completed this milestone in their life. We will address these events as circumstances dictate.
Student meals are continuing to be offered at Cedar Middle School, Hesperia High School, and Sultana High School in a “grab and go” format from 11:00am – 1:00pm Monday through Friday. Students must be present in the vehicle to receive a meal. Even though next week is spring break, we have decided to continue serving meals at the three locations. After spring break, we will determine if we can expand serving locations.
We are all in this situation together and I am confident we will navigate through this time. Please take time to enjoy your families and take care of one another.
Good afternoon Kingston Knights! This is Mr. Skinner, Principal of Kingston Elementary.
HUSD is committed to our students' continued learning during these difficult times. Our staff has prepared a supplemental learning website with various learning activities that will help students strengthen their skills and keep their minds active. Many teachers have been providing activities and support for students as well. This week, these resources are optional and do not need to be turned in. District staff are currently planning more extensive distance learning opportunities that will be turned in if school closures are extended. Families will be updated regularly. Please check out the resources available on our hesperiausd.org website. HUSD wants to remind all families to follow all CDC and State/County Dept. of Public Health guidelines and do their part to help our community stay healthy. Click below to enter the site.

Good afternoon Kingston Knights,
With the president's recent proclamation of a national emergency and Governor Newsom's latest executive order regarding the coronavirus, Kingston and all Hesperia Unified School District will be cancelling all activities (including school) next week, March 16-20. The following week will be spring break. While we tentatively plan to reopen on March 30, we will be assessing where we are at the time and communicate to our community if further action is necessary. Thank you for your support during this time.

Kingston Knights Fun Run
Hello Kingston Families: Just a reminder about two exciting events happening at Kingston today. These two free events overlap and should make for a terrific evening! First, we have Cookies with Santa put on by our PTC (Free entry, decorate an ornament, meet Santa, and enjoy tasty holiday snacks. Vendors and family pictures also available for a fee). This event is at Kingston this evening from 4pm-7pm. Secondly, we have the Hesperia Jolly Parade. Santa and his elves are coming to Kingston by police escort! The parade should arrive at Kingston in front of the school around 6:00pm. I would suggest being here prior to 6pm. Hope to see you there for one, or both! For more information, please visit Kingston Elementary PTC on Facebook or call the school at 760-244-8869

JOIN US FOR BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT
Hesperia Unified School District is pleased to announce that we will be using the Raptor Visitor Management System in all of our schools as part of our campus safety programs for students and faculty. All visitors, volunteers, and visiting staff will be asked to present a government-issued ID, such as a Driver’s License, state ID, etc. The Raptor system only checks the visitor's name and date of birth for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders. No other data from the ID is gathered or recorded. The system is not connected to any other database such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, and information is not shared with any outside agency.
This implementation will help increase the efficiency in our offices, allowing District-approved volunteers to spend their valuable time in classrooms instead of in the front office. Thank you, in advance, for your support in enhancing safety in our schools.
