Distance learning is challenging for kids and parents, and it’s been difficult to concentrate during the pandemic. Reports show that more Oregon students are receiving “incompletes” on report cards. Virtual learning has affected attendance levels and grades, and students are at risk of falling behind. 

While some districts in Oregon may be returning to school this year, until that happens, there are resources for Bienestar kids and families to help make 2021 a successful school year! Tutoring and distance learning guidance are available.

Tutoring Resources:

Schedule a Tutor with Cornelius Library (English and Spanish)

Tutoring Resources from Hillsboro School District (Spanish and English)

Distance Learning Resources: 

Washington County Cooperative Library (Spanish and English)

In December, Oregon Governor Kate Brown announced that the decision to reopen schools would be left up to each school district. Each school will have to follow safety and health guidelines. Teachers are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine on January 25 and while information and plans are still coming together,  schools may start reopening soon.
