Trojan Happenings

Weekly news and updates

February 8, 2026

Colorful boxes of information for the week of Feb. 9 - 13.

Dear Trojan Families,

A group of people, likely athletes and their families, are seated at tables with football helmets and jerseys displayed.

It has been so wonderful to welcome all of our students back after an extended winter weather break—our schools truly feel whole again with learning, laughter, and energy filling the halls. We’re looking forward to another great week of instruction and connection, all leading up to a fun Celebration Day on Friday and another exciting Read With Troy event. Thank you for your flexibility during the weather challenges and for continuing to support our students every step of the way. It’s going to be a great week at HSSD! 📚💛🖤

Make-up Days ❄️🏫

To make up the six missed days due to the winter weather, school will be in session on February 18, 19, 20 and 23, April 24, and May 22, using the days already built into the 2025–2026 school calendar.

Thank you to our families for your patience and flexibility.
