We are thrilled to begin the "One School, One Book" program this month. The materials pictured should be coming home tonight. We hope families enjoy beginning the story tonight. Happy reading!

Hello,

We are excited to kick off a new program at our school beginning March 9 in celebration of Reading Month. The program is called “One School, One Book.”

Each family will receive information about the program along with a reading calendar to help stay on pace and finish the book by the end of the month. Our goal is to encourage families to read together and share in the experience as an entire school community.

We hope this will be a fun and meaningful opportunity for students and families, and we believe this program will positively contribute to our school culture.

Important March dates:
March 11th- Early dismissal
March 20th- No school

Parent Reminder- We will be outside for recess as much as possible. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. If you’re missing clothing items, encourage your child to look through the lost and found items located in the hallway near the elementary office.

What an incredible day in Hillsboro Public Schools! 🎉💙💛 We proudly hosted our first-ever ABLE Games, and the energy in the building was something special. This event celebrated every athlete and every ability level, reminding us what true inclusion looks like. A huge THANK YOU to our amazing athletes—you brought heart, determination, and so much joy to every event. To our volunteers, judges, and community members who showed up to support, cheer, and help make the day run smoothly, we appreciate you more than you know. And our student body absolutely brought the hype. The athletes felt that energy with every rep and every moment of competition. A special shoutout to TNT for bringing the ABLE Games to our schools and helping us create an unforgettable experience for our students. Hillsboro showed up today—and we can’t wait to do it again. 💪✨

Traill County has its first confirmed case of Measles. I'm sending an email with a Fact Sheet in it. Please look over the symptoms on the fact sheet so that you know what to look for with your own children. There are a few at risk populations. Infants under a year old and immunocompromised individuals. It is good for all of us to be aware of what to watch for, that is why County Health wanted me to send the fact sheet.

We are looking for an elementary PE teacher. More details can be found at this link: https://www.edjobsnd.com/job_search.cfm#myModal

Ms. McKinnon's 4th graders read Dr. Seuss books to Mrs. Wright's kindergarteners to celebrate Dr. Seuss week! We had a Seuss-tastic time! 😄

Due to the ABLE Games at the HEC tomorrow, the high school will be running an early-out schedule. This schedule allows every class period to meet while still giving time for everyone to cheer on our athletes. All students are required to attend and watch the games as part of the school day. Let’s show our support and school spirit! 💪🎉

Hillsboro School and buses will be two hours late tomorrow, February 19th.

Hillsboro Public School will have a virtual learning day today. No activities for today. The office will be closed. The slush and continued snow for today are what brought me to that decision.

📣 Reminder: Parent-Teacher Conferences Tomorrow!

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held tomorrow, February 17, from 3:30–8:45 PM at both the High School and Elementary School.

High School: Conferences will be open house style — stop by anytime to visit with teachers about your student’s progress.

Elementary School: If you haven’t scheduled a conference time yet, please reach out to your child’s teacher to do so.

📚 Don’t forget to stop by the Scholastic Book Fair at the Elementary School while you’re there! It’s a great opportunity to pick up new books and support our school.

We’re looking forward to seeing all of our families tomorrow!

Congratulations to four female athletes and three male athletes for making it through regional wrestling and on their way to state wrestling next week! Congratulations to all our wrestlers for working hard these last two days!
