Hillsboro School District’s Post

Celebrating Hispanic and Latina/o/x Heritage Month Para español, pulse aquí: https://bit.ly/HSDHLHM National Hispanic and Latina/o/x Heritage Month is the period from September 15 to October 15, where we pay particular attention to the contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans in the United States, and celebrate the group’s rich heritage and diverse cultures. This timeframe encompasses the independence days of several Latin American countries: Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. Students who identify as Hispanic or of Latina/o/x heritage comprise 41 percent of our population in HSD, which is the largest of any demographic group. We believe our Spanish-speaking community brings a tapestry of linguistic and cultural assets and are proud to serve these students through a variety of programs - some of which serve them specifically, others of which are accessible to students of all backgrounds. Our PK-12 Dual Language programs serve more than 3,500 students who learn in both Spanish and English, and expand their socio-cultural competence. Hispanic Heritage Month is a vibrant celebration that not only honors the rich cultural tapestry of Hispanic and Latina/o/x communities, but also provides a valuable opportunity for educators to reinforce social and emotional learning (SEL) in the classroom. When we incorporate themes of diversity, inclusion, and cultural pride, we can empower students to embrace their own heritage while fostering a sense of belonging and respect for others. Additionally, family engagement plays a crucial role during this month-long observance, as educators and parents collaborate to create meaningful learning experiences that amplify Hispanic voices and narratives. By amplifying student voices and encouraging them to share their own heritage, educators can create an inclusive and dynamic educational environment that promotes empathy, understanding, and unity. We have a thriving Latina/o/x Parent Advisory Council at the district level, and several “paquitos” at the school level to help ensure our Spanish-speaking families can receive information and provide feedback in meaningful ways, and help our district and schools with events and programming that celebrates their cultures and customs. Our schools will be sharing relevant information with students about events, people, and customs connected to Hispanic and Latina/o/x Heritage over the course of the next several weeks. The City of Hillsboro and Centro Cultural de Washington County are also hosting a wide range of events, including the El Grito Festival, a Hispanic Heritage Art Show, the Binational Health Fair, and more. And save the date of Tuesday, October 15, for HSD’s culminating event featuring activities, entertainment, and food. #ProudToBeHSD #HispanicHeritage #Latina #Latino #Latinx #HillsboroOregon #Hillsboro #HSD #Spanish #DualLanguage #Bilingual #Multilingual #DLP #Binational #PAC #AmplifyVoices
