SPIRIT DAYS Starting this week, we will be doing Spirit day activities, and then posting fun pictures to our Facebook group. We will do spirit days Monday-Thursday, and then taking Friday off. Examples might include, crazy sock day, school colors day, etc. Kids and parents can participate! Each day, I will make a post with that day's spirit day, and if you'd like to participate, snap a quick pic or video and post it in the comments. That can be one fun way to stay connected. If you are on Facebook but not in the group, and would like to be, see the above link. See the calendar below for next week's Spirit Day themes.
SCIENCE FAIR/TALENT SHOW I've spoken to Mrs. Harrington, and we are currently "postponing" the Science Fair and Talent Show night. Stay tuned for more information on this.
ODYSSEYWARE Your student will still be able to do their work in Odysseyware. As stated in my email to you all on March 13 (Subject line: Extended Spring Break), I will reassign all due dates on April 1, your student's first official day back to school.
STATE TESTING There is nothing official yet from the Hillsboor School District, but since our building is closed through April 28, we will not be testing during that time.
CHECK-INS Since we won't have the on-site aspect of HOA (at least through April 28), please make sure that your student is getting in two check-ins each week through Odysseyware. Your students will receive two check-in questions in OW, one on Tuesday and one on Thursday. I will also count emails from you as check-ins. If your student is in the Homeschool Track, check-ins will not be required during this time. We will re-evaluate homeschool check-ins once we get more information from the Oregon Department of Education and HSD.
PARENT SUPPORT We are very fortunate at HOA to have Angela Lorenzo, our Homeschool Consultant, as a support to parents and teachers. Please feel free to reach out to her at [email protected], anytime you have a concern or question regarding homeschooling. In addition, Angela is also happy to meet with you via Zoom! We are all here to support you and your student(s), please let us know if you need anything.
MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT If you or your student is in need of mental health support during this time, please reach out to any of the below resources:
- Annie Hindman, HOA School Counselor, [email protected]
- Sara Stollberg, HOA Wellness Counselor, [email protected]
- Washington County Crisis Line, 503-291-9111,
