Distance Learning Student/Parent Resources

Dear Students and families,

I wanted to write a short email to you to address our academic expectations during this challenging distance learning time at Healdsburg High School. Our teachers and support staff have been diligently working to create viable on-line learning opportunities for their students. We are committed to providing this opportunity to allow you to not only stay current in your present classes, but to prepare you for your future courses and for our seniors, life after high school. Our expectation is you engage and participate in our distance learning to the best of your abilities, until we return to the routine of traditional instruction and school. We are fully aware that our current instructional model will present challenges to our students and wish you to know that our teachers will be patient, flexible and understanding in their assignment load and grading practices. 

This means that your work and participation will be highly rewarded and reflected in your grades. When you struggle, our staff will work with you to make sure you are supported and continue in your learning. Please know that our teachers will be generous and lenient in assigning grades. We know that some will have obstacles to online learning and are committed to help you overcome them and working compassionately with all students and families. When you need assistance, please contact your teacher first, but do not hesitate to contact Ms. Marx, Ms. Mace, Mr. Flores or myself if we can answer your questions and concerns. We are all in this together.

Respectfully,

Bill Halliday, Principal
