Liberty Station has had a strict rule against skateboards and scooters on their grounds, but it has recently become extra important that we remind students about it, as there have been a rise in accidents and concerns about usage. We have started asking students to not bring skateboards to campus, so we can avoid any concerns around misuse. However, we understand that some families rely on their children having access to skateboards as a mode of transportation to and from school. In these limited cases, we will allow students to store their scooters or skateboards in an office for the school day. If your child does not require their scooter or skateboard for transportation, please leave it at home.

We are sad to share that our Before and After School Director has taken a position at another school running their before and after care programming. But we are also very pleased to introduce you to our interim Before and After School Director, Perla Ramirez. Please feel free to contact her with any questions you might have at peramirez@hightechhigh.org.

We are still struggling to find staffing for our aftercare program. We are competing with all of the High Tech High schools as well as all of the other schools in San Diego who are short staffed and at HTM we have a higher requirement for employment (which is mandated by the ASES grant, which enables us to offer the program to be free to all families; all of our before and aftercare employees are required to have at least 60 units of college credit). One piece of good news that may help us to be more competitive in hiring is that our CFO has approved for us to offer pay in the $17/hour range.

If you know of anyone who is interested in joining our team, please feel free to share the hiring post - https://jobs.lever.co/hightechhigh/879a7949-14c0-42dd-b7d2-bd32fe32500f.
