Hillsboro Title 6

November is flying by and I apologize for getting this out so late. Lots of activities are happening in many of our schools to celebrate Indigenous Heritage Month, which is very exciting! My hope is to attend an assembly or two this month.

I try to put community events and activities that are not sponsored by HSD on our website. I only am able to add what I know about so if you hear of an event that is happening in the area, please send me a link or information about it and I can add it for our school community to see.

Date: November 15, 2023

Time: 6:30 pm-8:00 pm (Dinner starts at 6:00 pm)

Location: Hillsboro School District Administration Center, Board Room 100

We would like to welcome senior students (12th graders) who have an interest in a career in education to get the opportunity to earn college credits while still in high school. Presenting ED200 Foundations of Education College course brought to HSD student by Willamette Promise, Western Oregon University and The Diverse/Bilingual Educator Pathway Program at HSD.

This is an introductory course that is designed to help students explore teaching concepts and practices in education. Our expectations for students who are not in our program, would meet with us at least once a week to discuss the assignments and how they are doing juggling a college course and their regular schoolwork.

It is a $30 fee for the course - if students are on free reduced lunch, there is a wavier we can help them fill out.
