Volunteer judges will be interviewing students, grading projects with a rubric, and helping select the 10 projects to go to the District Science Far. Please let me know if you're interested.
RECYCLE CONTEST Every school in the Hillsboro School District is competing against each other to see who can collect the most plastic film to be recycled. The winning school gets a new TREX bench! Lets win this contest! Examples of plastic film include shopping bags, ziplock bags, pellet bags, dry cleaning bags, etc. The plastic must be clean and food-free. You can bring your plastic film in anytime between now and April 14. So far, HOA has collected over 108 POUNDS of plastic film! Great job families! Keep it up!
STATE TESTING We are less than one month out from state testing. If you are interested in finding out more about opting out, please go to the district website. Completed forms should be brought to Kristina, our office manager. If your student is a 5th grader and you are opting them out, you will also need to send an email to Mrs. Harrington ([email protected]) stating your reasons for opting out of the OAKS Science Test. Here is the website to the practice tests, practice.smarterbalanced.org. I would recommend sitting down with your student and taking a test with them so they have an idea of what types of questions will be on the test.
