Ms. McKinnon's 4th graders read Dr. Seuss books to Mrs. Wright's kindergarteners to celebrate Dr. Seuss week! We had a Seuss-tastic time! 😄

Due to the ABLE Games at the HEC tomorrow, the high school will be running an early-out schedule. This schedule allows every class period to meet while still giving time for everyone to cheer on our athletes. All students are required to attend and watch the games as part of the school day. Let’s show our support and school spirit! 💪🎉

Hillsboro School and buses will be two hours late tomorrow, February 19th.

Hillsboro Public School will have a virtual learning day today. No activities for today. The office will be closed. The slush and continued snow for today are what brought me to that decision.

📣 Reminder: Parent-Teacher Conferences Tomorrow!

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held tomorrow, February 17, from 3:30–8:45 PM at both the High School and Elementary School.

High School: Conferences will be open house style — stop by anytime to visit with teachers about your student’s progress.

Elementary School: If you haven’t scheduled a conference time yet, please reach out to your child’s teacher to do so.

📚 Don’t forget to stop by the Scholastic Book Fair at the Elementary School while you’re there! It’s a great opportunity to pick up new books and support our school.

We’re looking forward to seeing all of our families tomorrow!

Congratulations to four female athletes and three male athletes for making it through regional wrestling and on their way to state wrestling next week! Congratulations to all our wrestlers for working hard these last two days!

Good afternoon,

Please consider attending the Burro Village "Fight the Frost" event at the end of the month! See the attached flyer for more information.

Hello Hillsboro families,

We’re off to a great start this second semester! Students have been working hard toward reaching their goals, and we’re proud of the effort we’re seeing in classrooms every day. As we move through February, here are a few important dates to keep on your radar:

- February 11 – Early Release Day: Students will be released early at 1:40 while our staff participates in professional development. We’re excited to keep learning new ways to support our students’ success.
- February 17 – Parent-Teacher Conferences: We’d love to see all of our parents and guardians join us! Staying connected with your student’s teachers is a great way to stay involved in their learning. When you attend conferences, it shows your student that you care about their education—and that makes a big difference.
- February 20 – No School: Enjoy a long weekend! State Wrestling is this weekend too!
- February 24 – NAEP Testing: Our 8th graders will be taking the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) test.

We’ve also noticed that more students (and staff!) are catching colds and the flu lately. Please remind your student to take care of themselves—get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, wash their hands often, and stay home if they’re not feeling well. A healthy student is a happy, focused student!

If you haven’t had a chance to ask your 9th, 10th, or 11th grader about their tour of the Career Impact Academy in Grand Forks, I encourage you to. If they are interested in taking a course at CIA tell them to reach out to Mr. Morehart or myself.

Finally, a quick reminder that being at school and on time for class each day is one of the best ways for students to stay on track academically. We truly appreciate your support in reinforcing good attendance and punctuality at home—it makes a big difference.

Thanks for your continued partnership in helping make Hillsboro High a fantastic place to learn and grow!

With gratitude,
Dr. Carly Theis
Principal, Hillsboro High School
