📢 Attention Hesperia Families! 📢
The CEP Education Benefits Form is very important for our district. Completing this form not only ensures that your child receives free breakfast and lunch, but it also helps our schools access many other programs and resources that benefit all students.
Even if you think you might not qualify, please take a moment to fill out the form—every submission helps our district provide the best support for our students.
📝 Fill out the CEP Education Benefits Form here:

💻 The CEP form is also linked within the “Agreements and Permissions” form in PowerSchool.
Clicking on this CEP form could have easily been missed, so please take a minute to fill it out using the link above. Thank you to everyone who has already completed it!
Thank you for taking a moment to complete this—it makes a big difference for our students and our schools!
As we transition from Skyward to PowerSchool this year, we want to make sure every family is ready for the school year!
✅ Please set up your PowerSchool Parent Portal account

📍 Computers are available at the district if you need help creating your account or filling out forms.
📅 Teacher assignments and student schedules should be visible in the Parent Portal by the end of this week. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience as we finish this transition.
We know there have been some bumps along the way during this process, and we truly appreciate your patience as we work through them. We’re confident that PowerSchool will make communication and information access even better for our families. Thank you for partnering with us!

We understand that PowerSchool is new and may be a little tricky to navigate. However, to ensure your student has transportation on the first day of school, the Transportation Department must receive all transportation requests by the end of the day on Friday, August 15th.
This deadline allows us enough time to finalize routes and contact families with their Monday morning pick-up times — ensuring a safe, smooth start for all our students. Drivers will begin contacting families the week of August 18th with bussing information.
Requests submitted after August 15th will require a processing time of 3–5 days after the first day of school before transportation can begin.
If you have any questions or need help with your transportation request, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.
Thank you!
