Last Thursday, May 27, all HSD families were sent information about instructional options for the 2021-22 school year.
In 2021-22, we plan to offer full-time, in-person instruction to all students at either their neighborhood school or the school from which they have received a transfer approval. This is the default assumption for every student who is not currently enrolled at Hillsboro Online Academy (HOA).
Students who transferred to HOA rather than participate in Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL) or the Hybrid Model in 2020-21, received a separate communication letting them know they will be returned to their neighborhood school unless they request a new transfer to HOA for 2021-22.
Families that would prefer their student continue in the CDL model (available for grades K-8 only) are asked to complete the HSD transfer application no later than Friday, June 4, so we can staff that option appropriately.
Featured Students: HSD Valedictorians and Salutatorians
Congratulations are in order for HSD’s 84 valedictorians and salutatorians! These students represent the top achievers at our high schools and they were celebrated at a lunch event on Wednesday, May 26, under the covered play area at Witch Hazel Elementary School. Those who couldn’t attend in person joined via Zoom. Mayor Steve Callaway, Hillsboro Chamber of Commerce President Deanna Palm, Hillsboro Schools Foundation Executive Director Aron Carleson, and School Board Vice Chair Martin Granum joined Superintendent Mike Scott in praising the students for their accomplishments and wishing them well in the future. For their part, the students shared words of wisdom for a successful high school experience. Way to go, students, you make us so proud to be HSD!
