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!

Happy School Resource Officer Appreciation Day to our City of Hillsboro Police Officers: Officer Dean Rodgers and Officer Shelby Cornett! 🚓🚨Thanks for all you do - Keeping our kiddos and campus safe! 💙
