Upcoming News & Events
Here’s the latest news, updates, school board meetings and events happening at HSHMC.
January 3, 2022 COVID Exposure Notice
We were notified today that an individual at our school has tested positive for COVID-19. Due to procedures related to privacy laws, we are limited in what we can say. We urge you to also respect the privacy of our students and staff. HSHMC works with the San Diego Public Health Department to follow up with all cases and symptomatic contacts to identify all exposed persons and recommend home quarantine and testing. If you or your child are not contacted, it means that we have no evidence of direct exposure to you or your child. Our advice and practice has not changed since the beginning of the pandemic. That is, if your child is feeling ill or has a fever or symptoms of COVID-19, even if symptoms are very minor, please do not send your child to school and consider getting your ill child tested for COVID-19. Students should remain home until a return date is determined in consultation with school personnel based on test results and symptom improvement, and following all applicable state and county health guidelines. They can return immediately if they have a documented chronic illness that explains their current symptoms. Remember, symptoms may appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days after exposure, can range from mild to severe, and could include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, sore throat, muscle or body aches, headache, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, and new loss of smell or taste. Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms should be tested. However, many infected people do not develop symptoms, which is why it is recommended that exposed people be tested whether they have symptoms or not. If your child is well and without any symptoms, please remind them to use their face covering, and wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. We know this information is concerning for our students and families. Ensuring the health and safety of our students, teachers, and staff members is of the utmost importance to us, and we will continue to follow all public health guidelines strictly.

We are very concerned with the recent spread of inappropriate use of technology to create harmful social media posts within our HSHMC community. We spoke to all students on Friday about how hurtful the negative, wide-use of social media has been to staff and students. Because of this, we have decided that no phones will be allowed inside classrooms this week. If your child cannot abide by this request, an administrator may collect your child’s phone until you can come to school to pick it up. If you have any immediate questions or concerns regarding your child’s cell phone or if you need to reach them for emergencies please reference the attached schedule or call the front desk at 619-528-9070 and we will assist you. In addition, we recommend that you monitor your child’s social media activity to be sure that what they are posting is not offensive or hurtful to others. Thank you for reminding your child not to use their cell phone during class and for supporting our efforts as we work to restore this situation. This Friday is the last day of school before winter break. School will resume on Monday, January 3th. From our HSHMC family to yours, we wish you a joyful, safe, and healthy holiday season and a happy new year. Thank you!
