Good afternoon Krystal Families,
You should have just received a call from our Superintendent, Dave Olney regarding Elementary School Hybrid. Unfortunately, due to the rising number of COVID cases in our local area, the decision has been made to postpone the beginning of our hybrid model of instruction until January. This means that we will continue to stay in distance learning at this time. If you signed your student up for hybrid, we will keep that information on file. We will provide you with your child's group (A or B) the week of November 30th. This will indicate the group students are placed in for the January reopening. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through the challenges associated with this pandemic together.

Good Morning Krystal Families,
This is just a reminder that school begins on August 6th with distance learning. It is extremely important that parents log into the Infinite Campus Parent Portal at https://campus.hesperiausd.org/campus/portal/parents/hesperia.jsp
to update your child's information prior to the first day of school. If this is your first time logging in, you will click on "New User." Your activation key was sent home with your child's report card in June. If you don't have your activation key please call the front office. There will be no paperwork sent home for you to update your child's information this year. All information must be updated through the parent portal. You can also find information such as your child's teacher through the parent portal. Teachers and staff are diligently working on plans for distance learning and more information will be coming soon. To ensure that you get the most updated information regarding distance learning and the start of school, please make sure you log into your Parent Portal and update your student's information. We are here to help you Monday - Thursday from 8 AM - 3PM via phone and
also by email at krystalregistration@hesperiausd.org
Please call us at 760-948-3611
Hi Krystal Families: Our office staff will be taking a summer hiatus until the week of July 20th. Parents of current Krystal students can still login to Infinite Campus to complete their online annual renewal to update their student's information during this time. If you have any questions, you can call the office beginning July 20th. We hope that everyone has a great summer break!
Parent Teacher Committee (PTC) is a non-profit organization that models community positive behavior and effective teamwork. The objective of Krystal's PTC is to ensure the students of Krystal School are provided with a joyful and memorable experience. Please fill out this ballot and let us know if you are interested in being contacted to help support PTC events. https://bit.ly/3dOJBcy
We would like to thank all of our Krystal Families for their support throughout distance learning. Follow us and HUSD on social media for updates regarding next school year.
If your child is planning to attend a Hesperia Unified School District school next year, you do not have to return your Chromebook until school resumes in the fall. If your child will not be attending a Hesperia Unified School District school next year, then please contact our school office to arrange for a drop off time for your Chromebook.
A few updates for our Krystal Families:
Infinite Campus & Online Registration: If you are trying to update your information in Infinite Campus, please use the Infinite Campus Parent Portal, NOT the Online Registration. If you do not have the key for the Infinite Campus Parent Portal, you will receive a letter with your child’s report card that has the key.
Yearbooks: Unfortunately, there has been a delay with the shipment of our yearbooks. We will contact families as soon as we receive them and have a plan to distribute them to students.
Chromebooks: To allow your child access to online tools/resources over the Summer, students will be able to hold onto their Chromebooks. We hope this will be helpful! There will not be tech support available during the Summer months so take good care of your Chromebooks!
A message from Mr. Portanova to our music students: Remember to log in to Google Classroom to continue working with your instrument. You may also contact Mr. Portanova through email or his webpage.

Don't forget to add #WeAreKrystal so that everyone can see it! Krystal staff and parents...we want to see your school spirit too!!
Hopefully you have received the Robocall from our Superintendent with the information that all school district activities are cancelled for the week of March 16th-20th. Please continue to check the school website and the HUSD website for updated information. As always, thank you for your support! We appreciate our Krystal family and we will keep you posted as information comes our way.
The family dances that were scheduled for this Friday and Saturday (3/13 and 3/14) will both be rescheduled. We will keep everyone posted with the new dates! Thank you!
We would like to remind Krystal families that we do not have supervision prior to 8:40 in the morning. We ask that you drop off students after 8:40 for the safety of all students.
P Jammin Day - Friday, March 13th
Wear your pajamas to school in exchange for a $1 donation! All donations go to the American Childhood Cancer Organization to provide resources and support to kids with cancer and their families. Why wear pajamas? Pajamas are often the battle uniform for kids with cancer. Stuck in the hospital for long periods of time during treatment, kids live in their pjs. PJammin is a way to raise awareness about childhood cancer and to help them feel less alone.
Due to rain in the forecast the Hesperian Ninja Warrior Finals will be rescheduled to FRIDAY, APRIL 3 2020. Elementary will start at 8:00 AM, middle school at 10:15 AM, and high schools at 11:15 AM.

Happy New Year and Welcome Back! Here are a few reminders about arrival and dismissal. We will also implement one minor change starting January 6th. The change is described in bold. Please note that drop-off and pick-up procedures will be enforced. Thank you for helping us to keep students safe.
Zone 1: Drop-Off/ Pick-Up Area- In front of the school
-Quick drop off/ pick-up and go
-Have students ready to exit or enter the car
-Parent does not get out of car
-Parent does not wait to watch student
-no walk-up is permitted in this zone upon dismissal-will be enforced
-Please pull all the way up to the curb for pick-up (similar to the drop off process)
Zone 2: Parking Lot
-Park car and walk student to the gate next to the cafeteria
-Please avoid backing into parking spots during arrival and dismissal
-Do not drop students off in the parking lot. This is not a safe drop off area for students.
Zone 3: Walk-up/Pick-up
-in the cafeteria (grades K-1) or at the gate next to the cafeteria (2nd-6th)
-This is the only allotted walk-up zone
-Park your car and then walk up to the cafeteria or gate to get your child
Our primary concern is the safety of our students. Please drive slowly in the school zone and adhere to traffic rules to ensure the safety of everyone. Be courteous of our neighbors by keeping driveways clear. We all need to work together to make it a safe and efficient entry and exit.
Krystal Spirit Day!
Show your school spirit by wearing an ugly Christmas sweater or red and green this Thursday. Students that participate in the spirit day may wear jeans.
With the possibility of rain all day tomorrow, we wanted to remind Krystal Families of our inclement weather procedures:
-Morning drop off:
Procedures are very similar to a regular day. Instead of walking through the gate, students will enter through the cafeteria doors. Students wanting to eat breakfast may do so. Students will be monitored by proctors in their hallway until the bell rings.
-After school pick-up:
Drive-up: Procedure does not change. Parents should drive up, stay in their car and a staff member will escort your child to you.
Walk-up: All students will be in the cafeteria.
Walkers: Students will still be escorted out the walker gate unless we receive a note from parent requesting a change in pick-up.

Please help us welcome her to the best school in the high desert. We also wish Mrs. Amanda Arceo well in her new role as the Coordinator of Professional Development and Induction at the district office.
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.
#IMPACTtheFutureHUSD

Hesperia Unified School District serves and educates over 23,000 children in the City of Hesperia and adjacent areas in the high desert of San Bernardino County. Though our students continue to achieve at a high level, many of our school facilities are outdated and require repairs and upgrades to continue to serve our community well. The District is currently in the process of evaluating our local schools’ facility needs. The scope of improvements identified is far more than the current funding sources available, so the HUSD Governing Board is considering all options for addressing those needs. Community input is a critical component of this ongoing process as we continue to plan for the future of our schools. Please make your voice heard and complete the following online survey to let us know your priorities for our local schools.
