Superintendent Video Message: Student Health and Wellness

|
UPCOMING EVENTS
|
|
As first semester draws to a close, Superintendent Scott takes a few moments to
remind students and parents of the importance of students' self-care and wellness. In the coming weeks, all middle and high school students will be shown a
short video* featuring HSD counselors that talks more in-depth about this topic and ways students can get help and support if they need it. The video is posted to our
Student Health and Wellness page and all parents are encouraged to view it to learn more about our culture of care.
*Some schools may choose to cover the topic with students using different materials.

The Hillsboro Schools Foundation is currently accepting abstracts for its

video to describe what they're looking for and how to apply for the grants, and developed an

scoring rubric.

Building Relationships: Student Feedback
|
|
We are at the halfway point of the school year, which is a great time to hear from your students about what is and is not working in their learning environment. If structured in a way to gather constructive feedback, this opportunity empowers students to provide input in a manner that fosters ownership and pride. Students will notice that their teacher(s) listened, building that reciprocal learning relationship between students and teachers, and supporting a sense of community in the classroom. Read more in the
January edition of OSP Connected.
