Hillsborough Township Public Schools

Registration for the May 2025 AP exams is now underway! If you plan to take an AP exam this Spring, please register by Monday, November 4. Visit the HHS website for more information.

Have you ever wanted to have a conversation with an elected Board of Education member about a certain topic that you feel is important? If yes, please save the date of November 14th from 6:30 - 8:30 pm for the Board's first ever "Community Engagement Night". We will have two breakout groups that evening - one structured on a specific topic and one open roundtable where you can interact with Board members about something you want to discuss without the constraints and formalities of a regular Board meeting . More information will follow, but please save the date!

Special thanks to the HEF for leading this fundraiser at Amsterdam!

Under the ESSA, all schools receiving Title I funds must inform parents of their right to ask schools about the professional qualifications of their child’s teachers and paraprofessionals.

Please go to https://www.htps.us/page/title-i to view the Parents' Right to Know Letter 2024.

This is an important day for all Americans to remember. Our Superintendent, like many other in our community, had a family member that was a part of this campaign which helped changed the world. It's a great day to pause and reflect on the meaning of sacrifice and doing the right thing.

Don't miss the Minding Your Mind presentation Thursday night!

Dear Parents and Guardians, According to the National Weather Service, communicated through the Somerset County Emergency Operations Center, the weather forecast for Hillsborough calls for two to five inches of snow throughout the day and evening on January 19, 2024. The District continues to monitor the weather with multiple partners, including our local Office of Emergency Management, the Hillsborough Police department, the Department of Public Works, weather service providers, and members of Township leadership. It is too early to offer further clarity regarding the impacts that the weather may have on Hillsborough. However, I want to reinforce the importance of families having a plan if an Early Dismissal becomes necessary to facilitate a seamless dismissal process for students and staff members. Additionally, for parents of HHS students who drive, you might consider an alternative plan for your novice driver in advance. Thank you for your attention to the above.

There is a public meeting of the Board of Education tonight from 5:30 - 8:30 in the Auten Road School Media Center. Board Members will be participating in a Strategic Planning session facilitated by HYA Associates. No action will be taken.

There is a public meeting of the Board of Education tonight starting at 7:30 in the Auten Road School Cafeteria.

Good morning from HTPS!
