Hello.
April has “sprung” upon us and Spring Break will be here soon! A colleague of mine mentioned how Spring Break can
rapidly lead to spring fever and the temptation of believing that things are either hopeless or that the work has already been
done. Neither is true! We still have a little over two months of school left. Although we have accomplished a lot and
wrapped up many important events, we still have a lot of exciting and important activities ahead!
In March we completed:
HSPE Testing
The Eagle Eye
HUDSON'S BAY HIGH SCHOOL
Forecasting for the 2014-15 School Year
Student Led Conferences
I was very proud of all of our students who attended the Student Led Conferencing. We had a good turn out and tables
were buzzing with self-reflection and talk of future plans. I see a lot of value in students taking ownership of their education, especially around choosing their academic pathway and 13th year plan. This truly is conducive to creating life-long
learners and compassionate citizens.
Still ahead for April and May:
Student Academic Achievement Recognition Assembly
A full spring sports season
AP Exams
School performances in music and drama
Senior Project Presentations
I could keep going ….but I think you see we still have lots to do before this year is done in addition to the two full quarters
of learning left in the school year.
As a staff, we are staying the course for April and May, continuing our focus on student achievement. PLCs are meeting
regularly to review student data to understand how students are learning, what they are struggling with and what they
know. We continue to review our School Improvement Plan (SIP) to ensure we are monitoring our progress towards the
goals set. As a staff we are also gearing up for our Accreditation visit/review. This is a very reflective process where a
group works with a team at Bay to review our SIP, meet with various groups (students, staff, parents), and observe various
classrooms to ensure Bay should be titled an “Accredited” High School. It is a very interesting process and we are hopeful
to get important feedback on what we do well and areas we can improve in as a staff.
I am excited to enter this home stretch with the Bay community. I hope that you and your family enjoy some time together
this break and are able to reconnect.
Thank you and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Music and Art at Hudson’s Bay
Director Robin Sonderland took 32 of Hudson's Bay Orchestra students on
a Northwest Tour in March. We went to Western Washington University
Orchestra Festival in Bellingham, WA on Saturday. Fifteen high school orchestra groups participated in the WWU Orchestra Festival. The Hudson's
Bay String Orchestra earned a Silver Performance Award at the WWU Festival. On Sunday, the HBHS Orchestra traveled to Seattle and performed
for a live, international audience at the Experience Music Project in Seattle,
WA as part of their STAR (Students Training in Artistic Reach) Program.
News from the Art Department…..
Four Hudson's Bay Photographic Artists have received recognition in
the Regional High School Art Show. Jamie Aldridge is a Regional Winner so his work will go to state competition. Ashley Kourn and Austin
Collins are ESD 112 winners and Jamie Aldridge and Maranda Heckler
both received honorable mentions. The quality of the student’s work has
received an indirect compliment from the people at a local store that
processes the prints for the students. The store did not want to release
the photos because they did not have a photographer's copyright clearance. The work looked that professional. Way to go Photographers.

Vancouver's All District Orchestra Festival is being hosted by Hudson's Bay
High School on Tuesday, April 22nd in the Hudson's Bay Gym. All of Vancouver's middle school and high school orchestra students will combine to
form three giant orchestras and perform a joint concert. The concert starts
at 7:00 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.
ATTENTION PARENTS
If your child is on a boundary exception to attend Hudson’s Bay High
School and has not renewed for next year, please have your child come
to the main office to get the form.
News from the choral world
The Lower Columbia River Music Educators Association (LCRMEA) held its annual Solo
and Ensemble Competition on March 8, 2014 at Washougal High School. Last year, Bay
had no competitors, but this year five Bay students trained after school for two months for a
chance to move up to the state level event. Dakota Daniel sang a solo while Daphne Fletcher, Austin Collins, Kaitlin Mutchie, and Madeline Hanel sang as a quartet. Though they
weren’t chosen as one of the top 16 to continue to state, good marks were received all
around. Congratulations on a strong effort!
The Hudson’s Bay Choir next competes in the LCRMEA Choral Festival on April 17, 8:30
am at Fort Vancouver. Come support your musicians!

JOIN SUPERINTENDENT STEVE WEBB
Join Superintendent Steve Webb on Friday, May 2, as he showcases dynamic learning opportunities at Sacajawea Elementary School and Fort Vancouver High School. Patron tours are the
best way to find out what’s new in your school district.
Both schools will showcase applications of Vancouver Public Schools’ Design II Strategic Plan
and the district’s commitment to preparing students for college, careers and life. The tour of
Sacajawea will feature elementary students following the sustainability practices that earned the
school a U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon award. Fort Vancouver, a school rich in
diversity, has been successfully working with students to increase on-time graduation rates. The
visit to Fort also will feature welding/fabrication, video production and culinary arts classes.
The tour will begin and end at the Bates Center for Educational Leadership, 2921 Falk Rd. The
tour starts at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at 1 p.m. After the school tours, a delicious lunch prepared by Vancouver culinary arts students is available for $4 per person.
Everyone is welcome, so please plan to attend and invite co-workers, friends, neighbors and
family members, too. To register for a tour, go to www.vansd.org/PatronTours or call Sue
