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

❄️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.

We realize not all families have the time to dedicate, but we would appreciate completion of the survey either way. Please read through the following questions and mark based on your availability/interest. Thank you for your participation in this survey and your continued support of the Hillsboro R-3 School District. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSesGPsRVDpz2KnIdDufCq02LW2jIo-vp2xNDF0ylJdfSYMXJg/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0

Dear Hillsboro Families and Staff, While the weather has significantly helped today, the campus and some routes have not yet reached a level of safety that I am comfortable with for our students and staff.

Students will have an AMI Day to continue their learning from home. I commend our staff for their hard work and dedication throughout this challenging week. Thank you, parents and caregivers, for your efforts with the kids this week. Thank you for your continued patience and support of the district as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday! Sincerely, Dr. Jon Isaacson
