The Burro Village - Family Teacher Organization is a newly formed group with a desire to help parents, teachers, and the community come together for the benefit of our students. If you would like to join this new group, please come to the meeting tonight in the high school library at 7:30.
This evening's school board meeting will begin at 7:00 in the high school gym. There will be an opportunity for some public comment and then the school board will make their decisions. Thank you for your support of our schools.
Attached is information for the booster club 3 on 3 basketball tournament. Go Burros!
Congratulations to Justin Torroll on his 100th win in wrestling tonight. Good luck Burro Wrestlers in the weeks ahead!
I know many of you are wondering when the next school board meeting will be. This Sunday afternoon, January 12th at 5:00 the school board will meet for a work session. Public can attend but no action will be taken and the public cannot comment. It is simply a chance for the school board to visit about the options. Then on Wednesday, January 15th, the school board will meet at 7:00 PM for a special school board meeting where action will be taken and the public will be able to comment. Thank you.
Hello parents and community members. Following last week's special school board meeting I heard there were still people that felt their voices hadn't been heard. As a result, I encouraged people to share with those people that they could come and talk to me. The school board will not be making decisions tomorrow to cut positions. We will have another special school board meeting in the evening next week so the school board can discuss and make their decisions.
There are a couple of opportunities for people to be involved on Thursday evening. There will be a special school board meeting in the high school gym at 5:30 to allow the community to ask questions and give feedback to the school board on potential budget cuts. We will also have our second Parent Teacher Organization meeting at 7:30 that evening. The PTO meeting will be in the gym or high school library.
We know this won't be ideal for many people. However, we want our Jr. High and High School musicians to be able to perform the songs they have prepared. Tomorrow morning at 10:00 the Jr High and High School Christmas Concert will be held at the HEC. Jr. High and HS students that had tests scheduled for today will take their tests between 8:30 and 9:45 tomorrow.
For the next few weeks, students in first grade will get to shop at their local classroom store for various items! They are learning how to do 2-digit addition and also how to regroup into the 10’s column. This is a fun way to make real life-skills more concrete for students!
Hillsboro Public Schools will be distance learning today. December 19th. Elementary students probably have a packet and high school students should check their Google Classroom for instructions. Have a safe day everyone!
School and buses will be 2 hours late tomorrow, December 19th in Hillsboro. I will send another message and a fun video in the morning about 8:00 to let you know about the day. Thank you.
Students taking dancing lessons during Phy. Ed. Thanks Megan for teaching.
Thank you Hadley, McKenzie and Kate for delivering the food items from the High School and Elementary School to the food pantry. Thank you Mr. Laxdal for helping at the food pantry. Both schools will continue to take donations through Dec. 17th.
The food drive is off to a good start. Both schools are participating. High School students will be taking food to the food bank tomorrow. If you feel like bringing something extra to the concert tonight, please place it under the tree. Thank you!
Hello Parents, this evening we have our elementary Christmas Program at 7:00. Please check the Lost and Found when you are at the elementary school. Thank you!
Hello Parents and Guardians, this is a reminder that we have our December Early Out today. The elementary will dismiss at 1:35 and the high school will dismiss at 1:45. The purpose is staff development.
Congratulations to our two senior boys wrestlers Ben Thompson and Fernando Rios! Best of Luck to all our wrestlers this season!

It might seem like I know what I am doing sometimes, but sending these links out makes me nervous. If the links don't work, I'll try figure out how to communicate in a different way.
Thank you for your time and responses.

Mrs. Staebler and Mrs. Nagel’s class buddied up to make handprint Christmas trees and read together from to work on fluency. These 5th graders were a huge help on Friday! 🙌🏻
