Parent Blast - November 22, 2021
Conferences Today and Tomorrow
This week we have virtual conferences starting today (Monday) that will run from 4:00-8:00 pm and then tomorrow from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. These conferences will last approximately 20-25 minutes. Please be mindful of time as our teachers need 5 minutes in-between conferences to log information and set up for the next conference.
During this time staff will ask you a few check-in questions to see how your child is doing and what supports/resources may be needed. They will share what they are observing in regards to your child's engagement in school now that we are back in the building and if time permits may share some current data. Please view our ParentVue instruction below so you can access your child's grades and progress outside of the conference at any time.
If you have difficulty joining a conference, please reach out to Mrs. Lentz - lentzj@hsd.k12.or.us.
Picture Re-Take Day
Our picture re-take day is scheduled for December 3rd. If your child missed picture day, you can plan to take pictures that day.
Here to serve,

T.A.G or Talented and Gifted is a program you qualify for with multiple pieces of evidence that place the child in the top 97% percentile or above. If you have evidence that places your child in that top 3%, please reach out to Mrs. Godsey: godseyz@hsd.k12.or.us
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 Mrs. Godsey.
