VOLUNTEERS PLEASE NOTE

The school district has implemented a New Online Volunteer Application and Background Check Process, which will unfortunately necessitate the re-application by all current volunteers. The online system is quick and efficient, returning background check results and populating them to a database that can be checked by staff within minutes, allowing volunteers to begin helping right away.  Please complete the application on the district website as soon as possible—they will not be charged for any background checks completed by October 1, 2011.  Please note that all interested patrons are asked to complete the application even if they filled out paperwork and were cleared this year.  If the application is not available please check the district website for updates.
Please see the Parent Club page for a list of some great ways to become involved in the Glencoe community.

Essential Skills Graduation Requirement

For the first time, the state will require that all students must demonstrate that they are proficient in certain “essential skills”—skills that are deemed critical for future success – before they are awarded a diploma.  Beginning in 2012, students must demonstrate their proficiency in the Essential Skills gradually as follows:

• Read and comprehend a variety of text (class of 2012)
• Write clearly and accurately (class of 2013)
• Apply mathematics in a variety of settings (class of 2014)

Beginning second semester, 2011, Glencoe counselors will be assigning current juniors who have not passed their state assessment in reading, math or writing to a tutorial class designed to support the students in meeting this essential skill requirement.  Expectations for the tutorial class is like every other academic class in that students must attend every class and put in the effort in order to be successful and meet their graduation requirements.

Please don’t hesitate to contact your student’s counselor should you have any questions about the graduation requirements or your student’s individual graduation plan.

AVID Classes Offered at Glencoe High in 2011-2012

Glencoe is one of two high schools in the Hillsboro School District with the honor of offering an AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) elective class.  The AVID class is dedicated to helping students achieve their goal of going to college.  The class, held within the regular school day, provides support, academic monitoring, and tutoring.  Writing, inquiry, collaboration, and reading, along with tutorials and study skills are the core strategies of the class.  Students must apply, interview and be accepted before enrolling in the elective. We are currently accepting applications for next year’s 9th, 10th, and 11th graders.  If you believe your son and/or daughter would benefit from being in AVID, please contact your school counselor immediately for an application.
