Hood River County School District
Employee Handbook
WELCOME MESSAGEWelcome back to school! Every new school year brings a renewed sense of possibility and excitement not only for our students and their families, but for us as professional educators. Each adult in our school district is a professional educator: a leader, collaborator, curriculum specialist, mentor, role model, classroom supporter, facilitator, and resource provider. And only together will our community of educators meet our ambitious District Goal:Every student graduates with the knowledge and courage to learn, serve, and pursue their dreams.
Meeting this District Goal requires a commitment from all of us and the engagement of our entire Hood River County community. Our collective commitments, the things we promise to work toward together, provide the framework for our students' success: we ensure safe learning environments by teaching and reinforcing positive behavior; we expect excellence for and from every student by establishing high expectations for achievement; we establish clear learning targets and provide feedback to students on their progress; we use research to guide our instructional decisions; we intervene with struggling learners with great intensity and for as long as it takes; we embrace equity and refuse to make excuses for disparities in student outcomes; and we target our available resources to meet student needs.
For all of our students to succeed all of us will need to work together, be accountable to one another, and communicate openly. Our students deserve the very best and it is up to all of us to deliver on our promise of “Excellence, Every Student, Every Day.”
Our staff handbook is designed to communicate general information about the school district, common procedures, and how we work together to meet students' needs. Thank you in advance for your dedication to each other and to students.
