When necessary, the Board may vote to go into Executive Session intermittently throughout the meeting, which will not be open to the public, for discussion and consultation for legal advice regarding any of the agenda items (A.R.S. § 38-431.03 (A)(3)). The Board may also vote to go into Executive Session if so noted, which will not be open to the public, to discuss personnel matters (A.R.S. § 38-431.03(A)(1)), records exempt by law from public inspection (A.R.S. § 38-431.03(A)(2)), or for legal advice and consultation regarding pending or contemplated litigation (A.R.S. § 38-431.03(A)(4)).

Today marks the first day of fall, but here in Lake Havasu, we know summer likes to stick around a little longer! While the temperatures may not have gotten the memo just yet, we're ready to welcome all the fun that fall brings.
From football games and school events to cooler days (eventually 😉), autumn is a season of growth, learning, and making memories together.
Here's to a fantastic fall filled with friendship, kindness, and Croc pride! 🐊🧡
Happy First Day of Fall, Jamaica Elementary family!

Dear LHUSD Families,
We have received a couple of reports of students who were recently approached by an unknown male. While we are not aware of any known danger posed by this unknown individual, we would like to use this as an opportunity to share important safety precautions with you and your children, especially those who walk or bike to and from school.
Please remind your children to:
• Stay aware of their surroundings. Put phones away and avoid distractions that make it difficult to see or hear what is happening nearby.
• Travel with others whenever possible and follow a familiar route.
• Keep a safe distance from unfamiliar people and vehicles. Never accept a ride, approach a vehicle, or go anywhere with someone without a parent or guardian’s express permission.
• Trust their instincts. If someone’s behavior makes them uncomfortable, they should move away and go to a safe place where they can get help from a trusted adult.
• Tell a trusted adult immediately about anything unusual or concerning, even if they are unsure whether it should be reported.
Please take a few minutes to talk with your children about their trip home and ask whether anything out of the ordinary has occurred. Reassure them that they will not be in trouble for speaking up and that their concerns will be taken seriously.
Report unusual or concerning encounters to the Lake Havasu City Police Department at 928-855-1171 and notify your child’s school.
As always, if there is an immediate threat or emergency, call 911.
Thank you for remaining safety-conscious and contributing to keeping our students and our community safe.
Lake Havasu Unified School District #1

Anyone can support students in our school who need help buying books.
