Celebrating 2021 Hockinson Schools retirees
At the May 24 School Board Meeting, Superintendent Steve Marshall acknowledged the many contributions of three certificated staff members who are retiring at the end of the school year: Sally Drendel (HHS English/Language Arts); Shairn Villa (School Psychologist); and Linda Olson (HMS Teacher).
Thank you to Sally, Shairn and Linda! Adding up their combined years of service makes 80 years dedicated to serving students – 40 of them here in Hockinson. The impact these educators have had on our students cannot be so easily quantified. Congratulations on creating an important legacy that stretches far beyond the Hockinson community!

New bus service and transportation needs survey
We are excited to soon welcome First Student as our new transportation provider. First Student will be bringing new technology and services to Hockinson families. It also wants to deliver dependability and consistent pick up and drop off times. To this end, First Student is asking families to complete a brief ridership survey to help design efficient bus routes for the 2021-22 school year. Answers are not binding! We will accommodate any changes in your family’s transportation needs. Click here to complete the Google Form survey.
