The 2022-23 school year is almost here and we can’t wait to get started!
If you missed your child’s back-to-school packet or would simply like to access an electronic version, you can find it on the Back-to-School page of our website.
The first day of school for students in grades 1-6, 7, and 9 is Tuesday, September 6th. The first day for students in grades K, 8, and 10-12 is Wednesday, September 7th. Please note that Wednesdays are Academic Seminar days, which means that middle and high schools will start their day 30 minutes later than normal, and elementary schools will end their day 30 minutes earlier than normal.
Our featured event is the launch of the Hillsboro Advanced Manufacturing Apprenticeship - a collaborative effort between HSD, the City of Hillsboro, and local businesses to create Oregon’s first-of-its-kind, industry-recognized youth apprenticeship program. This innovative two-year program provides a unique and equitable pathway for high-school students to receive hands-on, paid training that prepares them for a career in advanced manufacturing. The program’s first cohort includes six Century High School juniors, who are participating in the school’s Industrial and Engineering Systems Career and Technical Education  program. The youth apprentices will begin their work with two Hillsboro-based companies, Jireh Semiconductor and Tosoh Quartz, on September 6th.
Our bond update is on our secured entry vestibules. With the completion of eight new, secured entry vestibules this summer, every building in the district now has an additional set of locked doors that prevent visitors from accessing the building beyond the main office or reception area. The vestibules are part of the final touches to the multi-layered security approach implemented by the bond to deter, monitor, and limit access into buildings.
