Mensaje de la Principal

A medida que entramos al clima más agradable, quería recordarles la póliza de nuestra escuela con respecto a las armas y "parecidos" en lo que se relaciona a las pistolas de agua. El Manual de Derechos y Responsabilidades del Estudiante establece claramente que los estudiantes no pueden poseer armas o "parecidos" en o alrededor de los terrenos/instalaciones escolares, en actividades patrocinadas por la escuela, en las paradas de autobús o mientras viajan hacia y desde la escuela. Desafortunadamente, hemos tenido que confiscar algunas pistolas de agua esta semana.


Además, hemos notado un aumento en los estudiantes que bromean sobre llevar armas a la escuela y lastimar a otros con comentarios como “te voy a matar”. Tomamos estas declaraciones muy en serio investigando e involucrando a nuestro Oficial de Recursos Escolares del Departamento de Policía de Tualatin cada vez. Estas investigaciones pueden tomar horas y causar una interrupción significativa en nuestro día escolar.


Si escucha a su hijo hacer comentarios de naturaleza similar, tómese el tiempo para hablar con ellos sobre la seriedad de estas declaraciones. Si bien pueden estar bromeando con amigos, es importante comprender que en el mundo de hoy, debemos tomar todas las amenazas en serio para garantizar la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal.


Gracias por su atención a este asunto y por asociarse con nosotros para mantener segura a nuestra comunidad escolar.


Atentamente,


Lisa Dailey


Director Hazelbrook

Message From The Principal

Dear Parents and Guardians,


As we enter into the nicer weather, I wanted to remind you of our school's policy regarding weapons and "look-alikes" as it relates to squirt guns. The Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook clearly states that students are not allowed to possess weapons or "look-alikes" in or around school grounds/facilities, at school sponsored activities, at bus stops, or while traveling to and from school. Unfortunately, we have had to confiscate a few squirt guns this week.


Furthermore, we have noticed an increase in students joking about bringing guns to school and harming others with comments such as, “I’m going to kill you”. We take these statements very seriously by investigating and involving our School Resource Officer from the Tualatin Police Department each time. These investigations can take hours and cause significant disruption to our school day.


If you hear your child making comments that are similar in nature, please take the time to talk to them about the seriousness of these statements. While they may be joking with friends, it is important to understand that in today's world, we must take all threats seriously to ensure the safety of our students and staff.


Thank you for your attention to this matter and for partnering with us to keep our school community safe.


Sincerely,


Lisa Dailey


Hazelbrook Principal

Results are anonymous, but families are given the option for their student to opt-out of taking the survey.

Homework Help

When: Every Wednesday and Thursday from 3:20 to 4:10.
Where: Library, for those wishing to have a quiet location to work; commons (staff lounge until the play is over) for collaborative groups working together.

We are grateful for the grant from the Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools and for our staff members who are leading this.

Are you a current Hazelbrook 7th grade student looking to build leadership skills, help others, and have fun? Then apply to become a WEB leader! WEB stands for “Where Everybody Belongs” and is an orientation and transition program where 8th grade WEB leaders welcome 6th graders and make them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their middle school experience. It’s built on the belief that students can help students succeed. The program trains students from the current 7th grade class to be WEB Leaders as 8th graders. As positive role models, WEB Leaders are mentors and student leaders who guide the 6th graders to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to middle school and help facilitate their success. So if you are interested in applying, please fill out this linked Google form by Friday, May 19th (or check the email sent to 7th grade students on Thursday). If you have questions, please ask Mrs. Wachsmuth or Ms. Barry.

Day of Silence

In the United States, 82% of LGBTQ+ students experienced first-hand harassment or bullying in their school and more than 30% of LGBTQ+ students reported missing school because they felt unsafe or uncomfortable. This Tuesday (May 16th) is Hazelbrook’s Day of Silence. Day of Silence is a national student-led movement that was created to highlight the silencing and erasure of LGBTQ+ people.

Please let Maria Carlsen, Lindsay Crawford, or Jeffrey Kennedy know if you have any questions.
