Hillsboro - Title 6
Native American/Alaska Native Education Program
Happy December!!
We made it to the final month of this year. We had a great group of family and community members at our last in-person Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting. I am so thankful for each person that showed up at Atfalait Ridge Elementary to eat and take a tour of the school building. I also appreciated the suggestions and recommendations for future meetings.If you were not able to attend the meeting please consider giving your feedback by filling out the google form found linked in this newsletter. Your feedback is valuable!
