Volunteer Updates
Please read this reminder regarding volunteering and fingerprinting:
- Volunteers who are currently “Approved” in the system will have their status changed to “Pending” if we do not have their fingerprint verification on file on or before March 28, 2022.
- There is no out-of-pocket expense for this requirement. If you no longer wish to volunteer, please send an email to receptionist@hsd.k12.or.us and request that your volunteer application be removed. Remember to include your full name.
- Please begin by following this link to schedule your fingerprint appointment https://www.fieldprintoregon.com
- Click “SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT” - Complete all required fields; you will be asked to sign up before you are allowed to continue
- When requested, you will need to enter the Fieldprint code FPHillsboroSD1JVol (this code is for Hillsboro SD volunteers only)
- The actual appointment will take approximately 10 minutes; you will schedule at the location of your choice
- The total fee for fingerprinting will be billed to the Hillsboro School District

If you have had fingerprints processed through the Oregon Department of Education in the past, please contact Kristina Gantt - ganttk@hsd.k12.or.us – and let me know which school district, ESD or substitute entity has your fingerprints or if you have a current teaching license (if your license is expired you will need to follow the process above)

On March 1st our on-line registration process opens for the 2022-2023 kindergarten enrollments. If you have a child who is eligible for kindergarten in September 2022, to register you will need access to a desktop, laptop or tablet and an email account. Please follow the directions below.

If you need help with on-line registration, you can come by the school anytime.
There are two exceptions to on-line registration.

If your child has attended a HSD preschool.
If either of these apply please stop by the office to pick up a registration packet any time after March 1st.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to call the office at 503-844-1300.
If you know of a family who may have a child who should start kindergarten in September 2022, please pass this information along.
Thank you for your assistance, and we look forward to meeting the graduating class of 2035!
