All current seniors must complete a senior project this year (State of Oregon Graduation Requirement). Part of the senior project is a public exhibition of the students' work.
ALL SENIORS NEED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EXHIBITION NIGHT IN ORDER TO GRADUATE THIS YEAR (exception - a few Research and Development students will have their exhibition at the Hillsboro Air Show). Senior students should make arrangements to make sure they are available for this event.
Senior Awards - June 1, 2023 6:00 to 8:00 PM Hilhi Auditorium
Our annual senior awards presentation honors some of the achievements that graduating seniors have earned over their 4 years. Awards given include College and Career Pathway Graduation Chords, National Organization Awards (Key Club, FFA Mecha, etc), Bilingual Seal Achievers, Chancellors Diploma, IB Diploma Candidates, AVID Seniors, First Generation HIgh School Graduates, Athletic Achievement, and Local Scholarship Winner Announcements.
Students will receive invitations in late May if they are going to be honored at this awards night. A public list of student ID numbers will also be posted at Hilhi in late May that students will be able to see.
Because of the short turnaround from the time of the final list of honored students until the actual Award event, the key for communication will be senior students' school attendance. Please encourage your senior student to attend school each day, from now until the end of the school year. We would love to have all honorees and their families to be able to attend

Smarter Balanced State Assessments
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Here is some important news about this year’s statewide assessments for English language arts and mathematics. Oregon adopted national standards called the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to elevate academic expectations for our students in grades K-12. With the CCSS, Oregon students are now gaining important critical-thinking, problem solving, and effective communication skills, and we, as educators, now have a template that clearly identifies what students should know by the end of each grade and what to do if they are not quite where they should be.
To accurately measure our students’ learning as well as help our educators pinpoint areas in need of improvement, we use the Smarter Balanced State Assessments (also known as SBAC or SBA) in English/Language Arts and mathematics, which are aligned to the Common Core State Standards. These tests provide an academic check-up and are designed to help teachers and parents know whether students are on track to be career- and college-ready by the time they graduate. Student performance on these assessments helps teachers and school leaders do a better job of making sure your child receives the best education possible.
Smarter Balanced assessments offer significant improvements over other types of assessments including writing at every grade, a variety of question types, and Performance Tasks that ask students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world problems. SBA includes question formats that allow students to demonstrate a broad set of skills, like critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical writing rather than just regurgitating facts.
At Hillsboro School District, students in 11th grade will take the Smarter Balanced tests sometime between March and the end of the school year. Tentative dates are ELA week of April 17th, Math Week of April 24th, Science Week of May 1st. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have about state testing this year. If you would like to quickly access more information about SBA, visit the Hillsboro School District website: https://www.hsd.k12.or.us/Page/2291
Sincerely,
Mr. Montes
