CRIMINAL JUSTICE CLUB SPECIAL EVENT Students in grades 3-6 are invited to attend the Criminal Justice Club meeting this coming Monday, October 15, from 1:00-2:00 in the classroom. They will have a special guest speaker, Sargent Alex Oh, Director of Public Safety for the Hillsboro School District.
FALL FUN FRIENDSY On Thursday, October 25, from 3:15-5:00 we will be having our first FALL FUN FRIENDSY for students in grades 3-12 in our gym. There will be a DJ, pumpkin decorating, board games, and food! Please contact Angela Lorenzo at [email protected] if you would like to help. This is NOT a dress-up party and there is no cost to attend, just come and have fun!
HALLWAY CALENDAR Kristina has added an awesome new weekly calendar in the hallway at HOA for on-site activities to help keep everyone in the loop. It includes elementary and secondary activities and is updated every Monday.
PICTURE RETAKES Picture retakes are October 23 from 12:00-2:00 on the stage in the gym.
ELEMENTARY CONFERENCES It's crazy to think about conferences coming up already when it was just August, at least it feels like that to me. This year for conferences, I would like to meet with all first year HOA families, and returning families on a case-by-case basis. Reasons to meet with a returning family would be academic or behavior concerns, either on your part or mine. Since we don't need to wait until November, I would like to go ahead and start getting these one-on-one conferences scheduled. Be on the lookout for an email from me in the next few weeks. If you do not receive an email from me, but would like to make an appointment with me, please reach out.
FACE-TO-FACE CLASS (FORMERLY ODYSSEYWARE SUPPORT) The Face-to-Face class on Mondays from 11:00-12:00 is open to elementary students in grades 3-6, including homeschool. Students will start the class with class pledges and a mini-class meeting to discuss the events of the week. For the remainder of the time, teachers and assistants will be available to work one-on-one with students needing assistance in an Odysseyware course. Homeschool students should bring work from home or a book to read. Students should plan on arriving at 11:00 and staying the whole time. Parents are not required to stay. Please have your student bring a snack and their laptop.

ATTENDANCE POLICY Similar to the previous years, your student will still need 2 check-ins per week, each counting for 2.5 days. Things that count as check-ins are attendance at on-site activities, emails or messages from parent or student, face-to-face meetings, and phone calls. Any combination will work, just ensure that you get in two before the end of the week. If you have any questions about this, please let me know.
K-2 PE CLASS Please let all of your homeschooling friends know about our awesome (FREE) Kindergarten-2nd Grade Homeschool PE on Mondays from 10:00-11:00. Please have interested families contact Kristina in our main office at 503-844-1050 for sign up information.
