Hollywood Hill Happenings

Hello Hollywood Hill Families,

It Is Education Support Professional Appreciation Week

This week is Education Support Professional (ESP) Appreciation Week. Did you know that about 50% of the staff here at Hollywood Hill work within these positions? ESP positions include para educators and school assistants just to name a few. These staff members have a huge impact within our school by monitoring student safety on the playground and around campus, delivering student academic interventions, assisting students acquiring a second language, and more!

Within any ESP position, staff members have the opportunity to form positive relationships with students and it is because of this, and so much more, that these positions play a crucial role in our support for students. We never know which moments in a student’s day or over time will stick with them the most. Join me in extending a sincere appreciation for all they do - Happy National Education Support Professionals Appreciation Week!

Northshore’s Social-Emotional Survey - Supported by Panorama

Our district is partnering with a leader in social-emotional learning, Panorama Education, to survey students twice a year - once in the fall and once in the early spring. Panorama has worked with Northshore staff and the Student Advisory Board to develop a survey that will help schools, educators, and the District better understand students’ self-perceptions and student experiences in their learning environment. This data will provide schools with a holistic view of what they are doing well and where they need to grow in providing a supportive school environment as well as to see the individual needs of students. Please visit the Northshore website to learn more.

Here at Hollywood Hill, students in grades 3-5 will take this survey between March 18th-29th. Opting Out: If you choose to opt out of this survey, please click this link to fill out the form as soon as possible. You may be contacted by our Northshore Student Support Department to discuss your reasons for opting out.

Scholastic Book Fair

This week is our Scholastic Book Fair. Please follow the link to the communication shared this past Thursday to learn more about how students can pay for books, ways to donate for others, Camp Read-A-Lot and more!

Kind regards,
