Hillsboro R-III School District – Snow Day Announcement
Due to inclement weather, the district will be CLOSED to all students and staff on Wednesday, February 19, 2025.
There will be no school and no activities.
Stay safe and warm!


❄️Snow Day Announcement – Tuesday, February 18, 2025 ❄️
Due to the forecasted winter storm and out of an abundance of caution, there will be NO SCHOOL in the Hillsboro R-III School District on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
The storm is expected to impact our area midday, and given the district’s geographic size and the time required for buses to complete afternoon routes, this decision ensures all students and staff can be safely home before conditions deteriorate.
Announcing this closure the night before allows families time to plan, with safety as our top priority.
Stay safe and enjoy the snow day!

The fifth graders zoomed with author, Omar Mohamed who co-wrote, When Stars are Scattered. He discussed what it was like growing up in a refugee camp, what school was like, and how life has been different since he was reassigned to the United States of America. Students ask questions and found out more about his life and got excited when they found out a new book is on the way!
