😀We want to take a moment and salute Hillsboro Junior HIgh School ELA Teacher, Ashley McNail.
🏆She was surprised on Friday to receive the honor of Hillsboro R-3 School District Teacher of the Year!



During the visit, students also paid their respects at the grave of Air Force 1st Lt. Michael Blassie, placing a Challenge Coin, POW/MIA bracelet, the American Flag, and the POW/MIA flag in his honor. It was a powerful moment that showed just how much they understood the importance of service and sacrifice.
We are proud of our students not only for what they learned, but for how they represented our district throughout the day.
👏 Thank you to Mrs. Luster and Mrs. Stephenson for creating such a meaningful experience for our students.







Kindergarten Screening (for those not already attending the Hillsboro Early Childhood Center) is an important first step in helping us get to know your child and prepare for a great start to school. During the screening, students will complete simple, age appropriate readiness activities that help our staff learn more about their early skills in a fun and student friendly way.
Here are 3 important things families need to know
✅ Screening is by appointment only on April 25th from 8:30am until 3:30pm
✅ Students will complete simple readiness activities
✅ This helps our staff prepare for a smooth transition into kindergarten
Call 636-789-0050 to make an appointment
If your child is getting ready for kindergarten, we cannot wait to meet them and welcome them to Hillsboro Primary School. 🦅✨
