We've made it to the last week of school! Congratulations to all students and staff members for a great year. Please remember there will be NO Academic Seminar on Wednesday-all schools will begin and end at their normal time. Thursday is an early release day, meaning school will end three hours earlier than normal; students will have access to grab-and-go lunches.

Grant Recipients Announced
|
 |
Congratulations to the staff members who recently earned grants from the Hillsboro Schools Foundation (HSF) and through the District's Innovation Grant program. HSF annually solicits applications from staff members who have innovative project ideas for their students. This year, ten grants were awarded in support of such projects as Coloring Connections at Evergreen Middle School to Let's Get Down to Biscuits at Miller Education Center. This year's District Innovation Grants focused on professional learning communities and the combination of strong pedagogy, learning environments (furniture), and technology to effect great outcomes for students.

We recently got a glimpse of summer weather, which prompted the opening of cooling centers around Washington County. These centers included the Boys & Girls Club, Shute Park Aquatic Center, Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation facilities, and more. The locations could potentially change with each excessive heat warning, so please visit the County's
Hot Weather Help webpage for up-to-date information on where to find cooling centers throughout the summer.
