HJSD Parents,
As the weather warms-up and the clocks spring forward, we realize 3rd quarter is coming to an end, indicating P/T conferences are right around the corner.These mandatory conferences are scheduled for March 29-April 1, 2021, and provide a great opportunity to address summer school, placement considerations for next year and receive your valued input and feedback via parent survey.
The HJSD students will participate in the Idaho Standards Achievement Tests beginning Monday April 5 thru Monday April 26, 2021.In addition, we will take the IRI (i-station) Reading assessment Monday May 3-6 and the M-COMP & M CAP Monday May 11-14, 2021.All students are required to take these assessments, thus, it is crucial students are present.Make-ups will take place as needed throughout the testing window.
Please note, we are offering an after school tutoring/enrichment program every other Wednesday from 3:45-4:45 pm.This will include a fifteen minute break with snacks, 45 minutes of intense intervention or enrichment, and transportation.Dates thru end of school year include: Mar. 17; April 7, 21; May 5, 19.
Thank you to everyone who voted in support of the supplemental levy.The good news is the board approved a reduction of $50,000 from the previous supplemental levy, thus a reduction for all property owners.
