Request for feedback on Core Values

Hood River County School District (HRCSD) requests feedback from some of its stakeholders, including students about their experience within the school district related to its core values of Equity and Cultural Responsiveness, Student Learning and Growth, Community and Family Partnerships, Wellness, and Operations and Safety.

HRCSD will use information gathered to improve programs and services within the school district. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Mary joined HROA during the 2020-21 school year after many years at Hood River Middle School. Mary's experience and fun-loving attitude make her an excellent instructional support for the littlest HROA learners. Mary is also the main person to track student attendance and it's a BIG job! When not working with her elementary learning and enrichment groups, Mary is often found going through all of the learning platforms and checking with staff to ensure we can account for the learning of each HROA student, each day!

This week's update: Trimester Two Transfers - Time is Now - Deadline is 11/2/2022
