Every six weeks at the elementary school we have an assembly. The theme this year is "Camp Burros." Our first two topics this school year were respect and integrity. The teachers put on a skit, teach the word, give out awards, and watch a slideshow of amazing things happening at the school!

Please remember that there will be no school tomorrow, November 11th in honor of Veteran's Day.

Mrs. Nagel’s class has been learning about Veterans Day, the importance behind the poppy flower, and how they can honor those that protect our country. 🇺🇸

The Community Veteran's Day Program will be at the HEC this afternoon at 2:00. Please come to listen and learn about how blessed we are to live in the country we live in with people willing to serve in our Armed Forces. Help us honor those who serve and served!

Burro Village has their meeting tonight at 7:30pm! 🔹️They meet in the high school library. Enter through the main doors, take a right and the library will be at the end of the hallway. 🔹️There are no membership fees! Any parent, guardian or caregiver of a Hillsboro student is encouraged to attend!

Hello,

The month of October flew by at the elementary school. We hosted a parent teacher conference night and had spectacular attendance. It’s awesome to be a part of a school where communication between teachers and parents is welcomed and positive. All of the kids were offered a pumpkin which is an annual tradition. We had a few days off from school, and I saw many elementary students in attendance at the cross-country state championship, where the Burro girls took 1st and the boys took 5th. In the month of November, our WIN groups will change up from time to time to ensure the kids are all being appropriately challenged. Many teachers are seeing progress among students, and we will keep pushing them to be good students and good readers. If you aren’t already, please encourage your kids to read every night at home! One new thing we have been doing this year is an elementary podcast. We have recorded seven episodes so far, where the 6th grade students provide some morning announcements and a brief interview. I’m looking forward to expanding this to other grades and teachers in the future. See the link for the episodes: https://www.hillsborok12.com/page/burro-buzz

Important November dates:
10th- Veterans Day Program
11th- No School- Veterans Day

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.
