When students arrive on time and with a positive attitude, it sets the tone not just for themselves, but for the entire learning community. We also ask that all students continue treating each other with kindness and respect—these are qualities that help Hillsboro shine both inside and outside the classroom.
Connecting with Our Community
We are proud to be part of such a supportive community, and we invite parents, guardians, and community members to stay involved with Hillsboro Schools. Whether it’s cheering on our students at extracurricular events, visiting our library, or taking a tour to see the amazing work happening in our classrooms, your presence matters. Together, we build a stronger school and a stronger community.
Thank you again for your support and commitment to Hillsboro Schools. Let’s keep building on the energy and pride from Homecoming as we move forward in October!

Greetings,
In the month of September, teachers and students have been working hard in the classrooms. Many students have taken AIMS web and ND A+ tests. These tests give us a look at how they are doing compared to peers around the state and country. Also in the month of September was our homecoming week. The week was full of fun activities and dress up days. We had an exciting parade to cap off the week. The Burro Village was a huge help in making homecoming week a huge success, please thank the members if you get a chance. In the month of September, our morning announcements focused on being responsible, respectful, and safe. Moving forward, this month’s morning announcements will be focused on positive ways for students to focus and learn in the classroom. Please see the dates below for items to put on your calendars.
