November Reminders
As we venture into November this week there are several reminders we'd like to share. Parent-teacher conferences are next Tuesday and Wednesday, please check your child's backpack Monday and Tuesday for the conference postcard that contains your child's date and time. Please prioritize this valuable time to check-in with teachers and hear about your child's progress and goals.
November contains several short weeks due to conferences, teacher preparation days and holidays. We urge you to continue to prioritize your child's attendance as we want to maximize the time we do have in class. In addition, please continue to keep your child on the same schedule/sleep routine as we want to keep their routines as consistent as possible.
This week's activities include:
- Monday: BLAST, Math Olympiads, OBOB, Play Practice- Cast 1
- Tuesday: Crazy Hair Day, Band, Lego Robotics, BLAST, Chess Club, Play Practice- Cast 2
- Wednesday: Code to the Future, BLAST, Play Practice- Cast 1
- Thursday: Holiday SCRIP Order Due (Booster Club), Band, BLAST, Lego Robotics, Play Practice- Cast 2, Young Rembrandts
- Friday: No School, Conference Prep
Have a wonderful week,
Jamie Lentz

Hillsboro Schools Bond is an Investment in our Community
Strong schools = strong communities and our upcoming Hillsboro Schools Bond would address four key areas of need in our schools: 1) Prioritize safety and security; 2) Update and repair aging school buildings; 3) Address overcrowding while planning for future growth; 4) Provide a modern education for students. Because previous bonds will be paid off with this November's property tax collection, HSD is able to generate $408 million to complete projects at every school in the district without raising the current property tax rate of $2.24/$1,000 of assessed value. If the bond is passed, HSD would also receive a state matching grant of $6 million to complete more needed projects. Please visit the District's website to learn more, and please remember to vote on November 7.
Reminder: Celebrations & Treats
As we get close to Halloween we want to share the following guidelines for school on October 31st:

- Face paint, make-up, masks and hats are not included in crazy hair day
- We will continue our kindergarten tradition of an end-of-day parade
