August 27th - 7th & 8th Grade Orientation

Our SBA testing started last week and our kids were awesome! This week have ELA testing on Monday and are going to be starting the math portion of SBA.

Our testing window is May 6th - May 21st. We have make-up days built into our schedule after the 21st and will be used as needed for students who need to finish. We will be operating under a block schedule during our testing period.

ELA: May 6th-10th & 13th

Math: May 14th-17th

Science: May 20th & 21st (8th grade ONLY)

This is a friendly reminder that it is important for students to keep the protective cases on their school issued Chromebooks to protect them from accidental damage. If you opted into the Hockinson Assurance Program at the beginning of the 2023-24 school year, and your student's Chromebook is damaged while any part of the case is off, the cost of repair will not be covered by your assurance as is stated in the exclusions section of the assurance form.

Here is the Hockinson Assurance Program form if you would like to take a closer look at what it offers, including coverage and exclusions. If you opted out of the assurance program at the beginning of the year and would like to have assurance coverage, you can opt-in at any time after your student's Chromebook has been inspected for damage. A paper form can be sent home with your student, or you can make an online payment through InTouch, the HSD payment portal.
