FIELD TRIP Tomorrow, September 21, is our first field trip of the year for grades 3-6. We will be going on a walking field trip to Downtown Hillsboro. Please have your student at HOA by 9:45. Please pack a sack lunch for your student. The walking tour will go from 10:00-11:30. At 11:30, we will meet at Bagley Park, at 2nd and Jackson St. (one block from HOA), for a picnic lunch. Parents and siblings are welcome to join us for lunch and play time at the park. Pick-up is at 12:00 at Bagley Park. In order for this field trip to run smoothly, I am looking for 4 more parent volunteers. Please let me know if you are able to come as a chaperone and have completed your Volunteer Application on the school district website. Parents who just join us for lunch at the park are not required to fill out volunteer applications.
CHECK-IN QUESTION Any questions or concerns at this time?

OREGON BATTLE OF THE BOOKS We are so close to getting an OBOB team started at HOA! We have had two parents step forward as being helpers, but we are still looking for the team leader. If you are interested in helping lead, please let me know.
SPECIAL PROJECTS/END OF THE UNIT TESTS I have put together a project list and rubrics for the Special Project option at the end of each unit in OdysseyWare. In addition, I have recently added a third option for the end of each unit. If a student has received a cumulative score of over 90% for the unit, they can skip the end of the unit Special Project or Test. Just have the student send me a message in OdysseyWare and I will manually skip it for them. The project list and rubrics are attached to this email and will also be found in the FORMS section of my website, mrskellar.weebly.com.
MRS. KELLAR'S OFFICE HOURS I am here at HOA Monday-Thursday from 8:00-3:00. If you have concerns or questions, please email me and we can set up a time to meet. Pop-ins are generally not encouraged as there is no guarantee that I will be available or at my desk.
PARENT CONNECT The first Parent Connect meeting is October 4 from 9:00-10:30 here at HOA.
