Greetings Students and Families
Memorial Day can be a somber day for many as we honor and mourn those who have passed while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Thank you to all of our community members who have served or are currently serving in our Military.
I can't believe we only have a few more weeks left of school! We are so proud of all that our students have accomplished and are looking forward to the continued learning that will take place in the days to come. With Spring officially here, so is the sunshine! Please encourage students to bring water bottles to school and wear shoes that they can run and play safely in at recess and PE.
There are many things happening this month both in school and in our community; be sure to check out all the details below. And, as a reminder, if you ever have questions, suggestions, or wonderings, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's classroom teacher, the office or me. Communication and connection are key to our success!

Lost & Found
Please encourage your students to check the lost and found this week. We have many coats and jackets that would like to go home to their owners.
Health Management Plans
If your child has a Health Management Plan (HMP), it is uploaded into their document section in Synergy to give teachers important health information access. Please review your child’s HMP on ParentVUE in the document section. Also, check that the information listed in the health portion of ParentVUE is still accurate. (Contact your child’s school if you need an activation key or a printed copy.)
If there is a change on the HMP or updates in the ParentVUE health section needed, please contact HSD District Nurse assigned to your child’s school by August 14th.
If nursing is not notified of any changes, the uploaded HMP will be implemented as is.
It is important that school staff have the most up to date information to ensure your child’s health and safety at school. Contact your District Nurse throughout the school year with any changes in your child’s condition.
March 1, 2023: Kindergarten Registration Opens for 2023-24 School Year
Children must be five years old by September 1, 2023, to enroll for the 2023-24 school year. Register at your "home" school using the Enrollment Process as soon as possible. Doing so helps schools ensure they have the staff in place to welcome and support your child through a positive and rewarding experience. To confirm your assigned home school of attendance, please call Transportation at 503.844.1123.
NOTE: Requests for kindergarten transfers (to attend a school other than your home school) may be held until August, subject to space availability. Your student must be registered at their home school before submitting a transfer application.

Too Sick for School Guidance
In the school environment, many communicable diseases are easily transmitted from one student to another. A healthy environment involves prevention, early recognition of illness, symptoms, prompt diagnosis and treatment. Children who are not feeling well have a difficult time concentrating and therefore do not benefit from the instruction they receive during that time. Please do not send an ill child to school. We need your assistance in providing a safe and healthy environment for your child. You can view HSD's Too Sick for School guidance here; English/ Spanish
Volunteers
If you are interested in volunteering or joining your student at lunch, you must complete the HSD volunteer application including fingerprinting. You can visit
https://volunteerapplication.hsd.k12.or.us/ to begin the process or check on the status of your application.

SERVICES OFFERED FOR TALENTED AND GIFTED (TAG) STUDENTS
Parents are welcome to refer their child for services designed for students identified as talented and gifted. Students who score at or above the 97th percentile on a nationally standardized, norm-referenced test of overall reading or math or on a mental abilities test, and have other confirming evidence that they learn at a rapid rate and advanced level, are identified as TAG students. With parent input, individual plans are made to adjust the rate and level of the student’s instruction to meet his or her specific needs. If you think your child may qualify for TAG services, and want information about the referral and identification process, please contact our school’s TAG Coordinator.
