Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year Hood River Valley High School Eagles!
I am so excited to welcome you all back to school! It’s amazing how quickly summer flies by, but I hope you were all able to relax and enjoy some time with family and friends. This school year, we are continuing with a few system changes we implemented last year. We will maintain our semester block schedule. We realize that managing eight classes on an A/B day rotating block can be challenging, so we are embedding more support opportunities to help all of our students.
We will also continue with W.I.N. (What I Need) time. We received a lot of positive feedback about the need for this time to connect with staff and receive individual support. It has been a great addition, as allowing students to access staff during the day for individual support has been essential to success. The advisory period will also remain in place to support the scheduling of W.I.N., and it will continue to provide an opportunity for a consistent adult connection throughout the four years at HRV.
I also want to take this opportunity to stress—though you may hear this often—the importance of getting involved. There is a strong connection between engagement and success, so it’s something we need to focus on. HRV offers many opportunities to get involved, whether through athletics, music, theater, activities, or clubs. Don’t be afraid to try something new—high school is a great time to start new hobbies.
As the school year progresses, I’ll share more about our focus areas and goals for HRV, and I look forward to gathering your feedback and insights. For now, here are a few pieces of information and dates to keep in mind so you’re ready for the start of the school year. It’s coming quickly, and we’re all busy preparing for what we know will be a great year. Please see below for important dates and information.
See you all soon!
