Happy first day of school! 🥳 Today is extra special as we kick off the school year and celebrate a huge milestone—Hillsborough Middle School's 50th anniversary!
For five decades, HMS has been a place of learning, growth, and community. We're proud of the thousands of students who have walked these halls, the dedicated teachers who have inspired them, and the lasting memories that have been made.
Let's make this 50th year the best one yet. We can't wait to see what this new school year brings!

Get ready for an electrifying new year, because our school security team is sharper than ever! ⚡️ Not only are they a powerful visible presence, but today, every single member is crushing their CPR certification – talk about dedication! And get this: our elite team packs over 300 combined years of law enforcement experience. That's not just security; that's peace of mind, amplified!
As we gear up for another fantastic school year, here's a friendly reminder to please be at your bus stop at least ten minutes before the scheduled pickup time.
We know, we know. The first week of school, bus schedules are more like a suggestion than a rule. Buses will be late. They will be early. They'll probably get caught behind a rogue ice cream truck, a flock of migrating geese, or slowed down due to parents taking those "first day of school" pictures. It's just a rite of passage.
But on the chance that your bus is on time during those first few days, we don't want your student to miss it! Plus, it's great practice for when things are running smoothly...ish.
So grab your coffee, pack some snacks, and maybe bring a good book. We appreciate your patience and look forward to a great year ahead!
For fun - what's the funniest thing you've seen (or had happen to you!) while waiting for the bus? Share in the comments! 👇

Get ready for the new school year! As the first day of school approaches, remember to double-check your child's bus pick-up and drop-off times in the Genesis Parent Portal.
With new students still registering, slight changes to routes and times CAN happen. We want to make sure you're prepared for a smooth start to the year. Please double-check before Thursday!

With the school year kicking off, please be prepared for potential bus delays, especially during the first few days. This is a normal part of the beginning of the school year process as students get used to new routines and we fine-tune our routes.
This year, we're also dealing with roadwork the Township is just starting on several roads, which may add to these delays. Please be aware that the following roads are being worked on: Thursday September 4th, 2025 - Boehm Way and Wagner Ln; Friday September 5th, 2025 - N. Woods Rd; and Monday September 8th, 2025 - Fellen Pl and Norz Dr.
Elementary school dismissal, in particular, often sees the most significant delays as our staff works diligently to ensure every child gets on the right bus safely. (Elementary parents, this is typical!)
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we prioritize a safe and efficient start to the school year for all students. We're working hard to get everyone where they need to go! They will get there!

We had a great conclusion to our new staff orientation week! Along with Dr. Radwan and Dr. Povall, Mr. Handler and Mr. Volpe took all new staff members on a tour of Hillsborough. It was a wonderful opportunity for them to learn about where all of our students come from, see all of our schools, and discover some of the great places to eat and visit. Welcome to all of our new staff! We're so excited to have you as part of our team! #HillsboroughSchools #NewStaff #CommunityTour #Welcome
Getting ready to kick off an amazing new school year! ✨
Our high school entrance is getting a serious sprucing up to welcome everyone back in style. We're adding some extra flair to make sure the first day feels extra special for our students and staff.
We can't wait to see you all and start another incredible year together.

Our new staff orientation is well underway and we've got a fantastic new crew who are busy learning the ropes!
This week has been all about diving into our curriculum and getting to know our schools. The orientation wraps up tomorrow afternoon with a bus tour of Hillsborough, because we know it's just as important to know our community as it is to know our curriculum.
We can't wait to see all the great things this group will accomplish!

The words on our mural at Hillsborough Elementary School say it all: "Everyone is Welcome." We're not just saying it, we're making sure it's true for everyone! We believe our school should be a place where every single person feels they belong, and that's why we're so excited to announce that we are currently upgrading our exterior entrances to be fully ADA accessible. This project is a big step in ensuring that our actions always reflect our values. We can't wait for you to see our progress as we make our school an even more inclusive and welcoming space for our entire community!
