Asynchronous and Applied Learning Activities
As we wrap up baseline assessments and make adjustments to groups we will be working to include more structured asynchronous and applied learning assignments. Your child can expect to have at least one math and one language arts assignment to complete after synchronous or "live" time. In addition, we are working on providing choice activities for students to complete during asynchronous and applied learning time that are language arts, math or integrated content driven. These choice activities provide your child with additional practice, enrichment, opportunities to interact with content and the ability to choose what is most engaging for them as learners. Currently your child's choice activities include music and PE.
Your family will need to determine how many choice activities are appropriate for your child as each child works at a different pace. Please prioritize language arts (reading, writing, speaking, listening) and math assignments as these are prioritized content in the CDL model. If your child's language arts and math lessons for the day take up their asynchronous and applied learning time, please do not have them continue on to choice activities that day.
It is also important to note that although there are language arts and math assignments each day, that not every assignment will be graded similar to brick and mortar settings. Each week your child can expect feedback in language arts and math as we know that feedback and scaffolding help our students learn and grow. Feedback comes in many forms and may include: written comments, graded assignments, verbal feedback in synchronous lessons and during office hours, and/or rubrics accompanying assignments.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out: lentzj@hsd.k12.or.us.

Childcare Grant
Childcare Grant
Washington County recently awarded a grant to the Hillsboro School District to support childcare for the children of essential workers, and to support childcare providers as they serve school-aged students—ages 5 to 12—as they access Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL) during the school day. We are now able to reimburse families of essential workers and families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic for school-age childcare in licensed facilities. This grant is available through the end of December of 2020.
Below are links to the application, feel free to share this information with other community members that have school age children. Please apply, even if you are unsure that you will qualify for this program. Your application is confidential, and we will support you in the process! If you have any questions, please contact Alma Hernandez at childcareinfo@hsd.k12.or.us
Safe Routes to School - October Newsletter
Let’s Get Visible! Visible!
On Sunday, November 1, we move our clocks back an hour and evenings start getting darker earlier. With shorter days and weather changing, motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians need to be extra alert and watch out for each other in low-light situations. One way bicyclists and pedestrians can also improve their safety is by being more visible.
Here are some tips for making yourself and your student more visible:
- Wear bright, reflective clothing and shoes.
- Add reflective tape or reflective stickers to your backpack and other gear.
- Attach a front and back light to your bike.
- Carry a light while walking during darker times of the day.
Remember, while drivers need to be extra alert during low-light hours, it is also important that walkers and cyclists do all they can to be visible. Let’s get visible!
¡Vamos a Ser Visibles! Visibles!
El domingo 1 de noviembre, retrasamos nuestros relojes una hora y las noches comienzan a oscurecerse más pronto. Con días más cortos y cambios climáticos, los automovilistas, ciclistas y peatones deben estar más alerta y cuidarse unos a otros en situaciones de poca luz. Una forma en que los ciclistas y peatones también pueden mejorar su seguridad es siendo más visibles.
Aquí hay algunos consejos para que usted y su estudiante sean más visibles:
- Use ropa y zapatos brillantes y reflectantes.
- Agregue cinta reflectante o pegatinas reflectantes a su mochila y otros equipos.
- Coloque una luz delantera y trasera a su bicicleta.
- Lleve una luz mientras camina durante las horas más oscuras del día.
Recuerde, mientras que los conductores deben estar más alerta durante las horas de poca luz, también es importante que los caminantes y ciclistas hagan todo lo posible para ser visibles. ¡Vamos a ser visibles!
