Message from the Superintendent
|
Dear HUSD Community,
May has been filled with many celebrations. We just wrapped up an epic Hayward Hero Dinner that brought the entire city together to celebrate school staff that are everyday heroes for their communities. HUSD also announced this year’s Teacher of the Year, Mia Buljan, during Teacher Appreciation Week, and we’re gearing up to recognize our classified staff during Classified School Employee Week next week. The fact that we recently recognized hundreds of students for their academic achievements at our African American and Latino recognition events, as well as at our College Decision Day events, indicates that our collective efforts to support and celebrate staff have an important impact on students.
While most of our students and educators will enjoy a well-deserved break this summer, the district will be taking advantage of this time to continue important work to improve our facilities. Work on our solar projects will continue over the next several months as completed sites will begin to realize cost savings for the district. Maintenance and beautification projects are also slated for the summer break at many campuses. Additionally, the board has given direction to move forward on priority safety upgrades that are being funded with Measure H funds.
Please look out for the many art shows and spring concerts that will be taking place over the next few weeks. Let’s celebrate the arts as a community by attending these events that our students and teachers have worked so hard to prepare for.
I look forward to celebrating our graduating seniors and the thousands of students being promoted to the next grade level.
Sincerely,
|
Matt Wayne, Ed.D.
Superintendent

In early December of last year, the district announced the launch of the solar program. Since then, work has continued across district locations with several schools coming online or close to completion. Some of these facilities include East Avenue Elementary, Strobridge Elementary, Treeview Elementary, and Fairview Elementary. By the conclusion of this solar project, there will be a solar installation at nearly every active school within the HUSD.
