HHES Families:


Tonight is the Hockinson Community Tree Lighting. Festivities begin at 6 p.m. at the Hockinson Community Center. We hope to see you at the event!


Our Student Leadership Team's Holiday Giving Drive is currently underway. Our student leaders are collecting donations of new hats, coats, mittens, and toys. If you would like to donate an item (or two) to our holiday drive, please send in your unwrapped items with your student. Our student leaders are collecting items in our classrooms daily. Thank you for your generosity in supporting those in our community who need a little extra support this holiday season!

HSD Strategic Plan and Data Dashboard HSD Strategic Plan and Data Dashboard

Hockinson School District has launched a new Strategic Plan to guide our work through 2030, along with a new online Data Dashboard that tracks progress toward district goals using clear, measurable indicators. Hockinson schools are on an upward trajectory, together. We’re proud of the progress made through strong community partnership and input. The work doesn’t stop here!


In the video below, Hockinson students were asked what their school’s tagline, “Elevate,” means to them. Whether it’s Elevate or Upward Together, HSD is ascending.

Please save the date for our upcoming HHES Science Fair. The event will be held January 22 from 5 - 7 p.m. Students in grades TK-2 will be making classroom projects for the science fair. For students in grades 3-4, science fair projects are optional and your child's teacher will send home additional information. 5th Grade students will each complete a science fair project. Additional information will be sent home by our fifth grade teachers today.


We want all students to be able to participate in the science fair. If your family needs support in getting materials for the science fair, please let us know. If you are interested in sponsoring a student project, please let our office staff know and we will connect you with a student in need.
