Safe and Welcoming Schools
In light of the recent national conversation around immigration, we wanted to assure our community that Hillsboro schools are a safe place for students. We recognize the diversity and worth of all students, individuals and groups, and are committed to both educating and providing a safe and inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of their immigration status, race, color, religion or any other basis. In fact, HSD does not collect or track any information regarding a students’ or their family members’ immigration or citizenship status. We have been working with local law enforcement partners to develop some talking points and assurances around students’ safety while in our schools, and around the confidentiality of their personal information.
The links included on this page are intended to help inform students, staff, and families about our policies and practices around ensuring safe learning spaces for students, and to provide information about community support that is available. Please speak with your school principal, counselor, or with a member of the Family and Community Engagement Team if you have questions, concerns, or if you need to be connected with community organizations who can help you.
Entornos escolares seguros y acogedores
En vista de la reciente conversación nacional acerca de inmigración, queríamos asegurarle a nuestra comunidad que las escuelas de Hillsboro son un lugar seguro para los estudiantes. Reconocemos la diversidad y el valor de todos los estudiantes, personas y grupos, y estamos comprometidos tanto a educar como a proveer un ambiente seguro e inclusivo para todos, independientemente de su estatus migratorio, raza, color, religión o cualquier otra base. De hecho, HSD no recopila o rastrea ninguna información relacionada al estatus inmigratorio o de ciudadanía de sus estudiantes o familiares. Hemos estado trabajando con socios del orden público local para desarrollar algunos temas de conversación y garantías acerca de la seguridad de los estudiantes mientras están en nuestras escuelas, y sobre la confidencialidad de su información personal.
Los enlaces incluidos en esta página tienen la intención de ayudar a informar a los estudiantes, el personal y a las familias acerca de nuestras políticas y prácticas en garantizar espacios seguros de aprendizaje para los estudiantes, y para proveer información sobre el apoyo disponible en la comunidad. Por favor, hable con el director de su escuela, consejero o con un miembro del Equipo de Involucramiento Familiar y Enlace Comunitario si tiene preguntas, inquietudes o si necesita ser conectado con organizaciones de la comunidad que pueden ayudarle.
