Thunderings from DHHS


All of us at Desert Hills welcome back our students and look forward with excitement to an excellent third quarter! Student learning and achievement are of utmost importance to us at DHHS. We encourage parents to keep up to date on their student’s progress by checking Power School and teacher Web sites, linked to our new school Web site. Second quarter grades will be ready at the end of this week. Other activities and programs continue to enrich the learning environment during this quarter. Winter sports continue, with girls’ and boys’ basketball, swimming and wrestling – check our DHHS online calendar for game times and locations. Coming up Jan. 15-16 are State Honor Choir and All State Band and Orchestra, on Jan. 21-23. On Wednesday, Jan. 13, eighth graders from DHMS will visit DHHS for freshman orientation and registration. Coming up Feb. 2-4 is UBSCT testing of tenth graders: Please make sure your student is rested, prepared and in attendance during that time. Three parent positions are open for election to the Community Council, which deals with school improvement and SITLA, with meetings beginning in April. Contact the school office for more information. Let’s have a great third quarter!
