Remote Learning
Due to the stay at home order issued by Governor Polish, HSC (and all Jeffco schools) will be closed for the remainder of the school 2019-20 school year. During this time we have switched to Remote Learning to account for our HSC hours and classes.
Learning Log
The Learning Log is how we are tracking attendance and instructional hours student's will be missing at HSC.
Please email a picture of your student's Learning Log to learninglog@wwahomeschool.org. If you have any questions, please email Ms Antoinette (aroybal@wwahomeschool.org)
To the right is an example of Ms. Chelsea's Learning Log if she was an HSC Thursday student. As you can see, one week she chose to do activities that worked into her schedule. Some were ideas from teachers and some were activities that she came up with. The second week, she chose all BrainPOP activities.
Thank you!

Brain Pop is the optional resource we provided to families to help meet the required instructional hours. Brain Pop is just one of many resources you can use to satisfy your student's instructional hours at HSC. Alternative activities are welcomed and highly encouraged!
COVID-19 Resources & Information
We now have a COVID-19 Information and Resource page available for families. It includes our weekly learning logs, teacher activities, food services, and more.

2) Select + Join Group, located below the cover photo.

March Highlights
What a strange month March has been. We started the month off with Pajama Week and now most of us are at home in our pajamas, 24/7!
First we wanted to thank our HSC Teachers for adapting to this new style of teaching so quickly. We've seen the best in all of our staff come out as they work hard to accommodate their different classes and needs of families.
Next, we wanted to say thank you to our HSC families for being open to this new approach to learning, and also for being a stellar support group for one other! Seeing our community thrive in this uncharted territory is a bright spot in what can feel like dark and scary times. We are LOVING all the pictures sent in by parents, please keep that up! Seeing our students helps remind us of the brighter days ahead.
From the bottom of our hearts we just wanted to say THANK YOU for being the best group of kids, parents, and teachers a school could ask for. Stay strong HSC, we'll weather through this together!
