3. Sign into outlook with your district username and password
4. Voila! There it is!
OR
1. Go to hillonlineacademy.org

3. Click on Webmail
4. Sign into outlook with your district username and password
5. Voila! You’re there!
If you are signing in by clicking on the GREEN LOGIN button, Mrs. Estrada has asked us to stop doing it that way. So, in the future, to check student webmail, please sign on using one of the two ways listed above.
Coming up in a few weeks is our first fieldtrip to Jackson Bottom Wetlands here in Hillsboro. The field trip is on Thursday, October 23rd. We will leave and be back in time for your student to each lunch at home that day. At this point, I only have 1 committed parent chaperone. Please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to come with us. Field trips are not required but are a really cool part of the elementary program at HOA.
Mid-Quarter Progress Check! Can you believe that we are nearing the middle of the first quarter? I am asking that every parent please go in and check your student’s progress in each course as soon as you can sometime this week. This should be done, at a minimum, on a weekly basis. You can do this by clicking on “Grades” under each course title in the “My Courses” box on their dashboard. Once you get into their gradebook, you can scroll down and see which assignment/quizzes/exams they have completed and what their grades are. You can click on individual assignments to see more specific grading data. If you have any questions or concerns, please email me.
NO SCHOOL ON OCTOBER 10! We have a district-wide no school day on Friday, October 10. This means that your student has a 4-day work week that week. If you have any questions about this, please let me know.
PICTURE RETAKES! Mark your calendars! Wednesday, October 22 from 1:00-3:00 is our picture retake day. You can pick up a form the next time you are at school to pre-order pictures.
ATTENDANCE – Our attendance policy states that online students must be logged into Accelerate Ed for each day school is in session. For example, if our district has a 5-day work week, online students must work for 5 days. If we have a 4-day work week, online students must work for 4 days. At Hillsboro Online Academy, we follow the Hillsboro School District calendar which can be found on the district website. Our office manager, Kristina Estrada, [email protected] , to report vacations, absences, illness, doctor appts, etc. Also, if your student is making up days on the weekend, please email her so she can keep track of that as well.
