At South Meadows Middle School, the safety and wellbeing of our students is our top priority. To this end, we work daily on character development, building positive conflict-resolution skills, and promoting acceptance for all. When bullying, harassment, or unsafe behavior does occur, our administrators quickly work with involved parties to find a positive solution. All staff are trained on how to identify and refer students to administration and counselors when there are behavior concerns or safety issues. With this emphasis on safety and positive behavior, we have a strong culture and climate at our school.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Our current list of extracurricular activities includes: Student Equity Leadership, ZONE Sports, Dungeons and Dragons, Homework Club, Drama Club, MESA, TRiO, Adelante Chicas, Latino Youth Program, STEM and LEGO Robotics, Chess, Wrestling, and Open Gym.

PARENT ENGAGEMENT
South Meadows enjoys a strong and diverse parent population. Parents are invited to attend monthly meetings with administrators to discuss school goals, ask questions, give suggestions, and create new opportunities. We have an additional monthly meeting with our local high school to streamline parent involvement as a feeder system. The school supports parents who would like to organize formal parent groups such as a Parent Advisory Council or Parent-Teacher Organization. Our families are welcome to volunteer and visit. Teachers stay in close contact with parents in our advisory classes and use our online gradebook system for two-way communication.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
South Meadows has built strong community partnerships with many organizations, a few examples of which are: Adelante Mujeres, Oregon Agriculture in the Classroom, Saturday Academy, Hillsboro Parks and Recreation, Intel, and many others. We actively seek new partnerships to foster student growth and opportunity. Our belief is that the more the students and families see their school connected to the larger community, the more engaging and relevant our instruction and outreach will be.

OWNERS TITLE INSURANCE Why it's important
claims, or restrictions on the buyer’s property, other than the mortgage the buyer agrees to pay.
If the preliminary title search uncovers potential problems, a buyer can require that those problems be satisfactorily dealt with before closing on the home.
In addition, owner’s title insurance protects buyers against a myriad of risks that not even the most careful title search can uncover, including things such forged documents, undisclosed or missing heirs of a previous owner, fraud, will disputes, and unrecorded claims of many types.
Without owner’s title insurance, the legal costs to resolve such title claims could easily be in the tens of thousands of dollars and would have to be paid out of pocket by the buyer - not to mention the stress that such situations would cause to the buyer.
Owner’s title insurance is one of the most affordable insurance policies a person can ever buy. Unlike other forms of insurance, there is only a one-time fee at closing for the policy, which financially protects the buyer’s investment for as long as the buyer or the buyer’s heirs own the home.
So, if someone tells the buyer that owner’s title insurance is “optional”, that certainly does not mean that the buyer should not get it. Virtually every lender requires lender’s title insurance, but that insurance does not protect the buyer.
In order to safeguard the buyer’s investment in the property, which is possibly the most important investment the buyer will ever make, owner’s title insurance is absolutely critical.
WHAT IS ESCROW?
Both the buyer and seller rely on the escrow agent to carry out their written instructions relating to the transaction and to advise them if any of their instructions are not mutually consistent or cannot be carried out. If the instructions from all parties to an escrow are clearly drafted, the escrow officer can proceed on behalf of the buyer and seller without further consultation. This saves much time and facilitates the closing of the transaction.
TYPICAL ROLES IN THE CLOSING PROCESS
The Seller/Agent
Delivers a fully executed Purchase Sale Agreement to the escrow agent. Executes the paperwork necessary to close the transaction.
The Buyer/Agent
Deposits collected funds required to close (in with the escrow agent.
Approves the commitment for title insurance, or other items as called for by the Purchase Sale Agreement.
Executes the paperwork and loan documents necessary to close the transaction.
The Lender
Deposits loan documents to be executed by the buyer
Deposits the loan proceeds. Directs the escrow agent of the conditions under which the loan funds may be used
The Escrow Agent
Clears Title
Obtains title insurance
Obtains payoffs and release documents for underlying loans on the property Receives funds from the buyer and/or lender. Prepares vesting document affidavit on seller’s behalf.
Prorates insurance, taxes, rents, etc.
Prepares a final statement (often referred to as the “HUD Statement” or ”Settlement Statement”) for each party, indicating amounts paid in conjunction with the closing of your transaction. Forwards deed to the county for recording. Once the proper documents have been recorded, the escrow agent will distribute funds to the proper parties.
In Summary
Escrow is the process that assembles and processes many of the components of a real estate transaction. The sale is officially closed when the new deed is recorded and funds are available to the seller, thus transferring ownership from the seller to the buyer. The escrow agent is a neutral third party acting on behalf of the buyer and seller.

This week the median list price for Hillsboro, OR 97123 is $625,000 with the market action index hovering around 37. This is less than last month's market action index of 38 Inventory has increased to 130

This answers “How’s the Market?” by comparing rate of sales versus inventory
Real-Time Market Profile
Slight Seller's Advantage
Market Narrative
The market has been cooling over time and prices plateaued for a while Despite the consistent decrease in MAI, we’re in the Seller’s zone. Watch for changes in MAI. If the MAI resumes its climb, prices will likely follow suit If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.
Market Segments
Slight Seller's Advantage
Each segment below represents approximately 25% of the market ordered by price
Median List Price
Again this week we see prices in this zip code remain roughly at the level they’ve been for several weeks. Since we’re significantly below the top of the market, look for a persistent up-shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices move from these levels.
Segments
In the quartile market segments, we see prices in this zip code have generally settled at a plateau, although Quartile 1 has been trending a bit downward in recent weeks. We'll need to see a persistent shift in the Market Action Index before we see prices across the board move from these levels.
Price Per Square Foot
The market plateau is seen across the price and value. The price per square foot and median list price have both been reasonably stagnant. Watch the Market Action Index for persistent changes as a leading indicator before the market moves from these levels. 7-Day Average
Inventory
Inventory has been climbing lately. Note that rising inventory alone does not signal a weakening market. Look to the Market Action Index and Days on Market trends to gauge whether buyer interest is keeping up with available supply.
Market Action Index
The market has been cooling over time and prices plateaued for a while. Despite the consistent decrease in MAI, we’re in the Seller’s zone. Watch for changes in MAI. If the MAI resumes its climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.
Not surprisingly, all segments in this zip code are showing high levels of demand. Watch the quartiles for changes before the whole market changes. Often one end of the market (e.g. the highend) will weaken before the rest of the market and signal a slowdown for the whole group.
Median Days on Market (DOM)
The properties have been on the market for an average of 94 days. Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 48 or so days. Watch the 90-day DOM trend for signals of a changing market.
Segments
It is not uncommon for the higher priced homes in an area to take longer to sell than those in the lower quartiles.
