First Days of School and Academic Seminar

Welcome to the 2018-19 school year! The first day of school for students in grades 1-6, 7 and 9 is Tuesday, Sept. 4; for students in grades 8 and 10-12 is Wednesday, Sept. 5; and for kindergartners is Thursday, Sept. 6. Every Wednesday, including Sept. 5, schools will operate on an
Academic Seminar schedule.

Attendance Matters
|
 |
Every minute of every day matters in a child's education. Too many absences - excused or unexcused - can keep students from achieving their full potential in school and in life. Check out our
website for more information and some useful attendance tools.

Back-to-School Activities

District and City of Hillsboro Partner on Internet Connectivity
|
 |
One of the key technology projects in HSD's 2017 bond is building out a fiber network to all schools. And one of the City of Hillsboro's initiatives is to expand its existing fiber network to residents, including those in future communities like South Hillsboro. Now, the two entities are announcing a
partnership in those efforts that will save millions of taxpayer dollars.
|
|
Bond Update
|
|
This summer, over 40 projects around the district have been completed or are near completion. The most visible projects are: Reedville Elementary's main building renovations and new annex; Glencoe High's multi-use turf field and lights; Hilhi's multi-use turf field, track and lights; new parent/bus dropoff areas at four elementary schools; and new play areas at five elementary schools. What happened at your school or building? What's coming? Find out at

Changes Coming to High School Ticketed Events Entry Protocols
|
|
In our continual effort to ensure students are as safe as possible during high school sporting events and activities, changes are being made to our entrance protocols for
all HSD ticketed events
. Large bags and backpacks; outside
food and
beverages
(empty water bottles ok);
bikes, skateboards and scooters will no longer be allowed inside the venue.
Unfortunately, there will be no storage available on site for prohibited items; however, there will be places to lock bikes and skateboards outside the venue.
In addition, middle school and high school students must bring their valid school ID cards in order to enter the event. Additional details and more information about the new protocols will be shared in the coming weeks.
