Welcome back and Happy 2024! We hope all of you had a safe, restful, fun, and restorative holiday break. Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? Here are a few for your consideration to help finish out first semester strong:
-
Attend on-time, every day. Unless your child is too sick for school, it is very important that they show up each day so they are able to fully access their instruction. Regular, on-time attendance is a key measure of academic success.
-
Stay healthy. Colds, flu, COVID, and RSV are still circulating. Practicing good health hygiene habits will help keep you feeling your best: wash hands frequently and use hand sanitizer, avoid contact with people who are sick, cover coughs and sneezes, drink plenty of water, and get lots of rest. If you do become ill, please stay home until you meet the criteria outlined in the document linked above and are feeling better. Please also consider vaccination.
-
Get help if you need it. If your child is struggling with understanding the content or an assignment in a particular class, they should ask their teacher for help. Several schools also have homework help available from peers or other staff members, either during or outside of school hours. In addition, our Hillsboro Public Libraries offer two different resources: K-8th grade students can drop in at Shute Park Library on Mondays from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tutoring is available in English and Spanish. Older students, and those who want to receive help online, can login to the Washington County Cooperative Library Services website and receive live help on most days from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. through Brainfuse.
