Practice is May 20, at 9 a.m. at Jefferson College.(seniors should expect to be there at least 2 hours) 5 tickets will be given to the seniors at end of practice. A possibility for one more ticket will be discussed in an email sent out by Office Manager, Mrs. Christy Schacht. (It’s all based on how many seniors decide not to walk, freeing up seating.) Seniors were asked to download the BAND app at the beginning of the year so they can stay in touch even after 1st semester graduation , since school emails are deleted. That can still be done. 😄 [Band Invite] Mrs. Moore invited you to the 'Seniors 2025' Band. Accept the invite and join the group! https://band.us/n/a6a5A4tecfnaS

Good evening, We want to provide an update regarding the situation. The source of the leak has been located, and crews are actively working to correct the issue. At this time, we plan to HAVE school tomorrow - Wednesday, March 12. However, we want to be transparent that, despite the our best efforts, unforeseen challenges can arise. Our team will be up early in the morning checking water pressure to ensure that restroom facilities are fully operational. If conditions change, we will notify you as soon as possible. If you do not receive a call in the morning indicating otherwise, please plan for school as scheduled. Please bring bottled water. The city will be under a boil order. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this issue. Sincerely, Dr. Jon Isaacson Superintendent

Hillsboro R-III School District – Snow Day Announcement Due to inclement weather, the district will be CLOSED to all students and staff on Wednesday, February 19, 2025. There will be no school and no activities. Stay safe and warm!

❄️Snow Day Announcement – Tuesday, February 18, 2025 ❄️ Due to the forecasted winter storm and out of an abundance of caution, there will be NO SCHOOL in the Hillsboro R-III School District on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. The storm is expected to impact our area midday, and given the district’s geographic size and the time required for buses to complete afternoon routes, this decision ensures all students and staff can be safely home before conditions deteriorate. Announcing this closure the night before allows families time to plan, with safety as our top priority. Stay safe and enjoy the snow day!
