In a fantastic example of business-school partnership, Starbucks and Miller Education Center East (MEC-East) collaborated to hold a "Dia de los Muertos" (Day of the Dead) celebration on Tuesday, Oct. 25, at the MEC-East campus. Starbucks associates from across the region attended the event to host a coffee experience bar and conduct both mock and actual job interviews with students from the Independent Transition Services, HIP (Hillsboro In-School Program) and Connect programs. The event featured a Latin DJ and dancers, Day of the Dead cookies, face painting, career information, and more.

Happy Halloween and Safety Reminders
|
 |
Halloween and Daylight Savings Time provide natural opportunities to remind families about safety. During the darker months, people are encouraged to be seen and be safe. Wear light or bright colors and/or reflective accessories if you are walking or riding a bicycle at night. Also, did you know that TriMet has "Night Stop," a program that allows bus operators to drop riders off along the route between bus stops if it's safe to do so? Click

Did you or someone you know graduate from a high school in Hillsboro? If so, please take a moment to fill out a brief Alumni Survey created by the Hillsboro Schools Foundation. We want to stay in touch with our alumni so we can share information about what current students at your alma mater are accomplishing, create programming that's meaningful for you, and highlight your successes as a proud HSD alum! Please feel free to share the link to this survey with people in your personal networks-we want to reach as many alumni as possible.

Technology Ambassadors Program
|
|
 |
At the end of September, the Technology Services department rolled out the Technology Ambassadors Program to all schools in the district. This program was borne out of the District goal that every student be known by name, strength and need, and Technology Services' desire to enhance service and ensure that every school is also known in that way.
