AVUHSD Invest in Technology to Support Blended Learning

As we anticipate the return of students to our classrooms, we are investing in technology that will allow all families, regardless of whether your student continues to learn at home or return to school (when possible), to access engaging and dynamic lessons developed and delivered by the classroom teacher.  We have partnered with Promethean since 2008 with a number of devices on each campus and are thrilled to expand this tool to every classroom in our schools!

QHHS Positive Recognition Program

Quartz Hill High School focuses on positivity and acknowledges those who work hard to exude this core value. Despite learning at-home, their Positive Recognition Program, called "Quartz Hill Cards," continues. Kirolos Mousa, Class of 2024, was recognized by multiple teachers for his outstanding start and participation during At-Home Learning. He received prizes from community business partners including In&Out, Chic-fil-A, and Cold Stone. The QHHS office lit up with horns and cheer when Kirolos arrive for his reward.

The Positive Recognition Program at QHHS looks different, but the pandemic hasn't hindered their ability to encourage students!

QHHS is changing culture one conversation at a time. Since starting in 2018 they have distributed over 800 recognition cards!
