Higley district unveils summer offerings

Posted

Higley Unified School District is offering an array of summer programs and camps tailored for students seeking enriching activities during their break.

 HUSD has a selection of engaging options for them to explore and enjoy. Examples of elections are available for registration include:

Kinder Kickstart 

If a child is starting kindergarten in 2025, this program gives them a head start. The program runs from 8:30-11 a.m. June 23-26  at the child's elementary school campus. 

During Kinder Kickstart, children will get a firsthand glimpse of what kindergarten life is like. They'll have the chance to engage in fun activities and interactive sessions designed to introduce them to the school environment in a supportive and welcoming setting. 

The goal is to ensure that the child makes a smooth transition into school, both academically and socially. Participating in Kinder Kickstart will provide children  with the tools and confidence they need to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. 

Those interested can visit the Kinder Kickstart page to learn more and register. Those who register by May 1 will lock in the lowest rate.

Kids Club/Higley Hangout summer enrichment programs 

In Higley Hangout's "Creatures Around the World'  program each week, the class will zoom around the world, diving into the creatures that call different continents home. From the jungles of Africa to the tundra of Antarctica, kids will explore a new place each week, learning about animals that roam, fly or swim there.

Kids will unleash their creativity through art projects, stay active with games, and get up close and personal with exotic animals when the "Wild Thing Bus" rolls into town. 

It will be offered 6:30 a.m.-6 p.m. May 29-July 11 at Cortina  Elementary and July 14-16 at each school.  Registration for the final session is separate.

Registration will remain open until May 12. However, once an age group reaches capacity, people may be added to a waitlist. Space is limited.
