Parent News
This month we are focusing our attention on 3 areas of our Hawk PRIDE- Responsibility, Diversity and Excellence. Students showing these traits will be given a ticket and every Friday, 5 names are drawn to receive a prize.
There are still 7 weeks of school left. Please make sure your student comes to school everyday prepared for class. They need a 2.0 GPA this last quarter to be involved in afterschool activities at Hilhi.
Spring brings with it a lot of added drama at this age and our goal is to guide students towards expressing themselves in positive ways. Lets keep our students on track for the last part of the year.
Have a great month.
Sincerely,
Mary Mendez

Erin's Law Lessons
During this month we will be making some changes in our advisory program. We will be presenting Erin's Law lessons. These lessons will be for 7th and 8th grade and will focus on the following topics: bullying (specifically cyber bullying), drug and alcohol usage, healthy relationships, and sexual harassment and assault. There will be slight differences to each grade but the overall themes remain the same. The lesson on assault will be taught by the counselors. Parents have the opportunity to opt their students out of these lessons if requested. For information on opting out please see the following link: https://www.hsd.k12.or.us/Page/4591. If you have any questions about advisory please feel free to contact either myself or our Assistant Principal, Jose Barraza.
