January 11, 2024,
Hillsboro R-III School Community,
In light of the latest weather predictions, we anticipate potential weather issues in our area around 3 p.m. tomorrow. Out of an abundance of caution, we plan to adjust to a three-hour early release schedule for Friday, January 12, 2024. The revised release times will be as follows:
Grades 7-12
Junior High - 11:20 a.m.
Learning Center - 11:28 a.m.
High School - 11:31 a.m.
Grades K-6
Intermediate - 12:33 p.m.
Elementary - 12:33 p.m.
Primary - 12:43 p.m.
The early release ensures that all students and staff can return home safely before the weather worsens.
Extracurricular activities:
Regarding extracurricular activities, All campuses will close by 1:30 p.m. Therefore, practices can be conducted until then, but any activities scheduled after this time will be canceled.
Ensuring the safety of our students and staff remains our foremost concern. Decisions influenced by weather forecasts are challenging. However, the risk of an ice event occurring while our buses, students, and staff are in transit is a risk we strive to avoid. Additionally, it is important for us to provide sufficient notice so that families have ample time to make necessary arrangements.
Should the weather forecast change significantly, with an earlier onset, we retain the flexibility to make further adjustments up until tomorrow morning.
Stay Safe,
Dr. Jon Isaacson
Superintendent of Schools

We share this cool picture of buses lined up at the JH this afternoon to remind everyone to be careful and mindful driving home this afternoon, in the snowy weather moving in. ☃️
We ask Primary parents / guardians to please be at the bus stop to get your little Hawks, thus avoiding delays and traffic backing up behind the buses. 🙂
Let's get everyone home safe! #HawkSafetyFirst 💙
