Greetings Students and Families
Thank you to all the families that were able to join the World of Stories event last month! We had a great turnout and are looking forward to all the future family engagement events that are soon to come. A huge thank you to our Booster Club for their support!
This month we have been working on our school-wide Right Brain Project with local artist Beth Wilson. The focus of this project was on learning multiple tools for self care while creating a temporary collaborative mural that is a powerful visual reminder of the importance of joy and belonging. Students were working to answer the question, how can we care for ourselves as a way to strengthen our community and increase each person’s sense of belonging? Next time you are in, I encourage you to stop by and see the beautiful affirmations and images that make up our joy mural.
There are many things happening this month both in school and in our community; be sure to check out all the details below. And, as a reminder, if you ever have questions, suggestions, or wonderings, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's classroom teacher, the office or me. Communication and connection are key to our success!

News & Notes You Need to Know
Arrival/Dismissal Reminders
Cars may only use the front bus loop drop off area if it is after 7:45am. The ONLY exceptions are if you are dropping off a student who is arriving late or the close drop off area is needed for safety and medical access.
Too Sick for School Guidance
In the school environment, many communicable diseases are easily transmitted from one student to another. A healthy environment involves prevention, early recognition of illness, symptoms, prompt diagnosis and treatment. Children who are not feeling well have a difficult time concentrating and therefore do not benefit from the instruction they receive during that time. Please do not send an ill child to school. We need your assistance in providing a safe and healthy environment for your child. You can view HSD's Too Sick for School guidance here; English/ Spanish
Volunteers
If you are interested in volunteering or joining your student at lunch, you must complete the HSD volunteer application including fingerprinting. You can visit
https://volunteerapplication.hsd.k12.or.us/ to begin the process or check on the status of your application.

SERVICES OFFERED FOR TALENTED AND GIFTED (TAG) STUDENTS
Parents are welcome to refer their child for services designed for students identified as talented and gifted. Students who score at or above the 97th percentile on a nationally standardized, norm-referenced test of overall reading or math or on a mental abilities test, and have other confirming evidence that they learn at a rapid rate and advanced level, are identified as TAG students. With parent input, individual plans are made to adjust the rate and level of the student’s instruction to meet his or her specific needs. If you think your child may qualify for TAG services, and want information about the referral and identification process, please contact our school’s TAG Coordinator.
