  • Student Attendance

    September is National Attendance Awareness Month, a time for schools and districts to promote positive attendance for PK-12 students.  Also to bring awareness to absenteeism and the effects attendance can have on academic performance and success.  According to the Oregon Department of Education’s Comprehensive Distance Learning guidelines, “The ability to continue to monitor attendance, as a proxy for engagement, is arguably one of the most important ways schools can help ensure equitable access to student learning and account for student wellbeing during a pandemic across any instructional model.”

    The beginning of our 2020-21 school year looks different, but absences do count.  Both synchronous (live/in-person) and asynchronous (not live/in-person) learning can count for daily attendance during comprehensive distance learning.  Teachers will mark a student present, once per day in elementary and in middle and high school attendance will be taken for each scheduled class period.  

    The following interactions count for student attendance:

    • Participating in a video class; 

    • Communication from the student to the teacher via chat, communication app, text message or email; 

    • A phone call with the student, or, for younger students, with the parent; 

    • Posting completed coursework to a learning management system or web-based platform or via email; or turning in completed coursework on a given day.

    A student is considered ABSENT for the day when there is no evidence of student interaction for an entire day (midnight-midnight) during a scheduled school day.  This also includes WEDNESDAYS!  Students and families, even though the schedule is different on Wednesdays, attendance is taken by your student’s teacher(s) through synchronous (live) and asynchronous (not live) participation.   

    In order to provide families with clear and concise descriptions of student attendance and participation, a daily attendance reminder call will go out by 5pm through a Hillsboro School District automated robocall. This is to share that the student has not engaged during the school day. The robocall that you may receive will state the following message, “Hello this is the Hillsboro School District letting you know that your student has not yet participated in Comprehensive Distance Learning today.  If at any point your student engages in online learning this evening, they will be counted as attending for today. If they do not engage in learning, they will be counted as absent for today.  Contact your student’s school for questions regarding attendance.”  

    If you have any questions about attendance please connect with your student’s teacher or building administrator.

    Dear Century Families and students,

    Welcome to the 2020-21 school year at Century!

     If you are interested and seeking involvement, Century has something for you! There are over 1500 students enrolled as of today, and we welcome everyone to a great school year!

    Our staff has been engaged in professional development and planning, preparing to engage and challenge our students and support them to success.  The positive energy in the building grows in August every year as teachers and staff gather to create engaging lessons for our students--and this year is no different!  I know we are beginning this year in a way like no other year in our memory, but I am confident in the dedication of our teachers to support your students.  We are looking forward to our outreach calls to check in with families and students. We want to know your needs as we begin this year, and to support you. 

    Century continues to offer a variety of courses to prepare students to be college and career ready, able and prepared for whatever their future holds after high school.  In addition to being an AVID Site of Distinction, promoting college and career preparations for all students schoolwide, we offer a strong AP program, and have expanded our dual credit offerings to meet the demands of our community.  Our goal is that every student graduates having taken courses of rigor.. Our College and Career Pathways offer our students exploration of a career pathway that interests and engages them. 

    We also offer a strong system of supports to help students succeed in  their goals.  A strong counseling program of comprehensive guidance, a team of grade level graduation coaches, our Student Support and Wellness Counselor, Options classroom, Brain lab (Wellness Center), and partnerships with Youth Contact are designed  to support students with their academic, social and emotional needs during their high school journey. This year, we have added advisories to ensure we are able to address the social-emotional learning needs of all our students. 

    Most important of all is our work with you as families. Our work together to help your students successfully navigate their high school experience is so important. It is truly a partnership. The entire staff of Century High School looks forward to serving you and supporting all our students to attain their goals and find success.

    We look forward to a great year!

    Martha Guise
