Oregon’s mask mandate for indoor public spaces and K-12 schools will lift just before midnight on Friday, March 11th. Therefore, all schools and districts need to be prepared to implement their own indoor masking protocols as of Monday, March 14th. HSD intends to make mask wearing optional for most people at that time. Our Featured Event is Engineers Week. On Thursday and Friday, February 24th and 25th, more than 1,500 HSD fourth-grade students in 60 classrooms participated in a virtual hands-on learning opportunity with the help of more than 150 Intel volunteers to celebrate Engineers Week. Students used basic household supplies to build and test their version of a Lunar Lander that could safely return astronauts back to earth.
