Digital Resources Help with "Summer Slide"
|
 |
HSD Library Media Services provides some great student resources to help prevent a step backward in learning over the summer months, also known as the "summer slide." From the Student tab on our
website, choose
School Libraries. Check out the resources on the main page, then look through the pages by campus. There are many great fiction, non-fiction, and interactive literacy-based resources in multiple languages that could keep students busy and learning all summer.

New Website Launches June 30
|
|
 |
For the past several months, the Communications team has been developing a new website for our district and schools, which will go live on Friday, June 30. Along with the new site will be a new automated calling system and enhanced functionality for our District app. Your patience is appreciated while we continue to populate the new site with content and ensure everything is working properly. We will share additional information in late summer about what these new systems will mean for our ability to communicate efficiently and effectively, as well as some tips and tricks for receiving information in the manner that works best for you.

ESSA Update

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is the successor to No Child Left Behind, and is the mechanism by which schools and districts are held accountable for serving all students and helping them achieve at the highest levels possible. Teams of educators, parents, students and others have been working with the Oregon Department of Education to develop Oregon's accountability plan, which is currently under review by the U.S. Department of Education.
