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
Superintendent

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.

Students were not in any danger at any time. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department conducted a thorough investigation, and deemed the threat not credible.”

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.
Our kids are ready for the MAP test after our MAP Prep Bootcamp! Fourth grade is testing this week and third grade tests next week. We can do this!
