Family Engagement

In the Hillsboro School District, families are essential partners in every student’s success. This section supports strong participation, meaningful partnership, and clear communication by connecting you with the resources, workshops, and engagement opportunities available across our schools and community.

Here you can:

• Explore family workshops and events that build learning, belonging, and leadership.
• Learn about our Parent Advisory Committees (PACs) and other districtwide opportunities for family voice and partnership.
• Access school‑based PTO, PTA, and parent group lists to find ways to get involved at your child’s school.
• Use our Resource Guide to locate food, housing, health, cultural, and educational supports in your area.

If you have questions or want to get involved, our Family Engagement Team is here to partner with you every step of the way.

We envision school communities where family voice and leadership shape the system, where families, across language, culture, identity, and lived experience, are recognized as experts and shared decision-makers in education.

In HSD, we are building schools where belonging is expected, and families and educators share responsibility and decision-making power to design learning environments that reflect and sustain the strengths of our communities. Families are not just welcomed; they are co-creators of policies, practices, and learning experiences, advancing student success and educational justice for all.

Our mission is to advance equitable, family-driven partnerships by shifting power, removing barriers, and transforming traditional school-centered systems so that every family can meaningfully co-lead their child’s educational experience.

In HSD, we serve as connectors, advocates, and cultural brokers who:

• Ensure families are shared decision-makers in school and district systems
• Build authentic, reciprocal relationships rooted in trust and mutual accountability
• Disrupt inequitable practices and expand access to information, opportunities, and resources
• Create inclusive environments where all families are seen, heard, and have real authority

Through this work, we move beyond engagement to shared leadership and collective action with families, ensuring their knowledge, experiences, and priorities drive continuous improvement and community-centered transformation across our schools.
