SCHOOL PROGRAM
What Is Hesperia Community Day School?
Each prospective student and parent or guardian will complete an enrollment packet and an intake interview with the staff who will explain the program rules. Students and parents will have an opportunity to ask questions and clarify issues. Each student will receive a copy of the HCDS Handbook. During the first week, new students will take a series of reading and math placement exams.
Student's previous test scores will also be part of the initial assessment. The school will use multiple measures to assess the progress of each student and the success of the program. We will track attendance, tardiness, discipline, and test scores for each student. In other words, we will use the same criteria to measure our students' successes as is used for all other students in the District. It is our goal to eventually transition each student who attends HCDS to an appropriate school or program.
The Process
What Is Hesperia Community Day School?
HCDS serves Grades 7-12 students who have been expelled (E.C. 48900), who have been referred by Probation, who are recommended by Scholastic Attendance Review Board (SARB) and who are referred by the District Administrative Hearing Panel. These high-risk students are best served by HCDS because the program provides a lower student/teacher ratio, close supervision, and an individualized academic program.
