Welcome to the 2021-22 School Year!
We are very excited to welcome our students, staff, and families to the 2021-22 school year. The circumstances are not what we had expected or hoped for, but we are grateful for the opportunity to serve students in person, full-time, every day. 

We know there are many questions about how the year will look and what protocols are in place to keep people safe. Information and guidance is changing rapidly and we are working hard to ensure we are ready to comply with all current regulations. 

Please know that staff at all of our schools are committed to implementing a layered mitigation approach to keeping students and staff safe. The graphic below shows the main elements of this approach:
Current information is available on the 2021-22 School Year page on our website, and a communication with additional details will be sent to all families by September 1.
Featured Event: Proud to be HSD 2021 Welcome Back Relay
Our Olympics-themed Proud to be HSD 2021 Welcome Back Relay takes place Monday, Aug. 30, through Thursday, Sep. 2, across our entire district. Please see www.hsd.k12.or.us/hsdrelay for all the details about when the runners will make a stop at your school. And please plan to join us for our Closing Ceremonies on Thursday, Sep. 2, from 2 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. at the HSD Administration Center (3083 NE 49th Pl.) where we will have the Kona Ice food truck selling sweet treats, special guests from Hillsboro Fire & Rescue, and more!
