As warmer temperatures continue across our area, we want to remind families of the measures the Huntington Beach Union High School District has in place to respond to high-heat conditions and support safe and comfortable learning environments for students and staff. We closely monitor weather conditions, including information from the National Weather Service (NWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Our schools take appropriate steps to ensure safety depending on conditions and individual school needs, these measures may include:

• Adjusting, limiting, postponing, or canceling strenuous outdoor activities
• Modifying instructional activities or schedules as appropriate
• Relocating activities to indoor or cooler areas when available
• Providing opportunities for students and staff to stay hydrated and take breaks from the heat

Please note that CIF has separate heat-related guidelines for secondary students participating in athletics. School sites will communicate directly with families if any adjustments to CIF practices or games are necessary. We use a Wet Bulb Thermometer at each of our schools to determine whether or not the temperature meets the CIF threshold to allow for outside activities.

We will continue to monitor conditions and respond as needed to support the health and well-being of our students and staff.
