RE: New guidance from Gov. Parsons
November 12, 2020
Today, Governor Parson, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education announced new guidance for schools regarding close contacts and quarantines. - https://governor.mo.gov/press-releases/archive/governor-parson-announces-changes-states-k-12-school-quarantine-guidance - We are communicating with the Jefferson County Health Department to get further clarification on the new guidance.
The message is clear that masks are considered an essential mitigation strategy. This new guidance could help reduce the number of quarantines as staff and students are required to wear masks in school when social distancing is not possible. Yet, it won’t help with close contacts that occur outside of school that might lead to quarantines.
Respectfully,
Dr. Jon Isaacson
Superintendent
The deadline to elect 100% online instruction for second semester has been extended to November 30, 2020. The district will be unable to make adjustments after the deadline. If you are electing the 100% online education option, please fill out the below link by November 30, 2020.

Letter to parents/guardians and the greater Hillsboro R-III Community (Nov. 12, 2020) - regarding preparation for the future possibility of a short-term move from the hybrid schedule to full virtual learning for students - https://5il.co/n0m8
There will be a Special Board Meeting on Tuesday, November 10th at 6pm in the Auditorium for the purpose of requesting approval to pause our planned return to a 4-day week for grades K-6. The recommendation will be to maintain our current Hybrid schedule through the 1st semester and re-evaluate prior to January 19, 2021.
The health data in our schools and community continue to trend in a more negative direction with some of the highest levels we have seen to date. There has been a significant increase in the number of cases locally that is impacting our schools, including both students and staff.

Hillsboro Students, Parents, and Community,
Missouri Governor Mike Parson just announced in the Thursday, April 9th press briefing that all Missouri public and charter schools shall remain closed through this school year due to the COVID-19 virus.
While we anticipated that this day may come, we held out hope that our students would be able to return to their school buildings again during the 2019-2020 school year, unfortunately, that will not be a reality.
The buildings will be closed for the remainder of the year; however, the district will continue to proceed as we planned by staying connected to our students and community. We are committed to continue to provide services such as much-needed meals to the students and additional educational opportunities. The administration, teachers, and staff are committed to continuing our important work with and for our students through the last day of school, May 27, 2020.
Your child’s school will be reaching out next week to share our plan for continued learning through the end of May.
We know that the Governor’s announcement will create a number of new questions about specific issues such as: grading, graduation, prom, athletics, and summer school. The district will be working to continue to navigate those issues and will provide information and details when they have been finalized.
We would like to thank the entire Hillsboro School Community for your patience and hardwork during the last few weeks and for what is to come in the foreseeable future. Together - we will all get through this. We are #hawkstrong.
Stay safe and healthy,
Dr. Jon Isaacson

11/29/2018 - The following message will be sent to Hillsboro High School parents and guardians this morning: “As you are already aware a message was found in a High School boy’s bathroom yesterday, November 28th. In an effort to keep you informed all student lockers were searched last night and backpacks were searched this morning. In addition, metal detecting wands were used to determine if any students were in possession of a weapon. Both Jefferson County and Hillsboro Police were present throughout the building. There was NO evidence of a weapon found and students were able to return to their daily routine. There will be limited access to the restrooms during instructional time and the bathrooms will be closely monitored during passing periods. Please continue to visit with your child regarding the seriousness of these actions. Students who make any type of threat will receive serious consequences. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.”
11/28/2018: An all-call message was sent to parents and guardians of HS students: "At around 2 pm, the High School Administration and Law Enforcement were notified of writing on the wall in the boy’s restroom that stated “Let’s shoot up the school”. An investigation was immediately begun and additional security measures were put into place.
In light of the recent events at the junior high and high school in the restrooms, beginning tomorrow, there will be limited access to the restrooms during instructional time and the bathrooms will be closely monitored by staff during passing periods.
Parents/ Guardians, we ask that you visit with your child regarding the seriousness of these actions. Students who make any type of threats will receive serious consequences."
JH UPDATE: November 26, 2018 - This morning on 11/26, a graffiti message was found written in the girl’s restroom of the Junior High School. The message was a threat to "shoot up the school, beware on 11/26". As always, the safety of students and staff is our top priority. Law enforcement was immediately notified. The Junior High students, faculty, and staff were put on a modified lock-down. In order to verify that no threat existed, student lockers and bags were searched. Metal detecting wands were again used to determine if any students were in possession of a weapon. After a thorough sweep of the building, NO evidence of any type of weapon was found. The student responsible for the writing was identified. Once the all clear was given by law enforcement, students, faculty, and staff were able to return to their normal schedule. Parents/Guardians, we ask that you visit with your child regarding the seriousness of these actions and the impact on our school community. Students who make these types of threats will receive consequences up to and including expulsion from the Hillsboro R-III School District. We appreciate your willingness to continually trust us with your children. Thank you for your patience and understanding as student safety is our number one priority. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your child’s school or our office at 636-789-0060.

We are excited to announce Infinite Campus has two new apps available in the app store – Campus Parent and Campus Student (a new version of Campus Portal). Both apps include enhanced features to make it more useful for students and parents, with additional tools being added in the coming months. Once you download the app, you will be prompted to enter the District Name (Hillsboro) and State. Next, you will need to click Search District and select Hillsboro R-III from the list. Your username and password will be the same as the Campus Portal. Please Note: Campus Portal is still available, but will be phased out at the end of this school year.
Students will be available to access the new Student Portal from their current Campus Portal. In the upper right corner, next to their name will be a green icon "Try the new Campus Student". If a student clicks on this link, they will see what the new portal looks like. Later this year after all new tools have been added, we will change the default to the new Student Portal.

School is out, Seniors have graduated, and business is picking up... Been a busy week.
The Hillsboro Class of 2018 Graduation Ceremony will be going LIVE tonight! You can watch and share this momentous event with your family and friends. Click and Like the Hillsboro R3 Facebook Page. https://www.facebook.com/HillsboroR3/
Live feed begins at 6:30 p.m., with the ceremony beginning at 7 p.m.
The graduation ceremony for Hillsboro High School has been moved to the Jefferson College Field House. Each senior received seven tickets for admission to tonight’s ceremony at graduation practice this morning. Graduating seniors will need to report to the Jefferson College Field House by 5:30 p.m. The ceremony will begin at 7:00 p.m. The reason for the last minute change of venue: in order to protect our turf field, we must use a specially made chair. Unfortunately, the chair company that carried the type of chair needed, no longer carries those chairs. We did not know this until this morning when they delivered chairs that had the potential to damage our field. No matter where our seniors receive their diplomas, this will be an incredibly special evening for everyone involved.
Congratulations to three of Hillsboro’s finest!
Seniors Justin Fitzpatrick and Jessica Madding and Junior Brendan M. Young graduated from Jefferson College May 19th with an Associate of Arts degree with a STEM focus. They were the first graduates of Hillsboro High School to complete an associate degree program while concurrently attending high school. Justin and Jessica will walk in their high school graduation ceremony tomorrow evening. Brendan will return to HHS in the fall to complete his senior year of high school.

Last Friday, O.E. Brokerage, a family owned company out of Fenton, Mo came to Hillsboro Intermediate School to have a taste test with all the students in search of a new brand of Pizza for the school lunch program. O.E. represented Nardone Bros. Baking out of Pennsylvania. Nardone is also a family owned company that believes in making the best quality pizza. Rather than adding artificial ingredients such as imitation cheese to cut costs, Nardone believes in serving something students like to eat. The taste test went excitingly well and the students seemed to enjoy the pizza very much.

Due to snow/ice on a few secondary roads/subdivisions, refreeze concerns, coupled forecasted temperature, R-3 WILL NOT be in session 1-16-18
Hillsboro WILL BE in session today. It's another great day for the Hillsboro Hawks to soar to new educational heights. It's cold outside, roads are clear, but the buses and buildings will be warm - see ya there.
The first round of "Call School Off" candy has arrived. Students in my neighborhood really want a Snow Day!!! They remembered my favorite!
All games are cancelled for this evening due to an expected decline in weather and road conditions.
*Practices are still on after school until 5:00 p.m.
