Keep your students safe (and warm!) this winter. 🧥❄️
We are so proud that our current Strategic Plan successfully restored courtesy busing for our families. During these months of snow and ice, sidewalks and pavements can be tricky to navigate.
Why risk the slip dropping off your kids further away from the school? Our buses are ready to provide a safe, direct route directly onto school grounds where cars may not be able to access, even when pavements are messy.
Check your bus schedule and let us do the driving! 🚌✨

🌟 Happy Holidays from HES! 🌟
We want to send a massive THANK YOU to our incredible HES staff for making this holiday season extra special! ❤️
This year, the HES team took the time to build meaningful connections with our local senior citizens, culminating in a wonderful event - inviting them in for some spirited "Minute to Win It" challenges! The energy, laughter, and camaraderie were truly heartwarming. 🥳
Making these kinds of connections is so incredibly important - especially during the holidays. It's not just about the games, it's about bridging generations, sharing stories, and reminding everyone that they are a valued part of our community. These interactions foster a stronger, more supportive environment for everyone. ✨
Thank you again to the staff for organizing this and to all the seniors who joined us! You truly made our spirits bright.

At our last Board meeting, we took a monumental step by creating Hillsborough's very first Unified Robotics Team! This initiative brings students with and without disabilities together to collaborate, innovate, and compete.
And talk about quick returns! 🤩
Hillsborough entered two teams into a recent state competition, and the results are absolutely phenomenal:
🥈 Team Two finished SECOND overall!
🥇 Team One finished FIRST!
That's right, folks! Hillsborough has its first Unified Robotics State Champions! 🏆
We are beyond proud of every student, coach, and volunteer who made this possible. This victory is a testament to the power of inclusion, teamwork, and the bright future of robotics in our district. Congratulations to our amazing students!

At last night's Board meeting, the redistricting plan for 2026-27 was told to the public. The big takeaways are:
1) We will maintain six K-4 elementary and schools and redraw boundary lines.
2) Families will find out information about new sending zones and if students are attending a new school immediately after spring break.
3) Administration is working on planning events during the course of the 2025-26 school year in order to have students visit their new schools and participate in events to get know know their new schools.
Please see Mr. Handler's presentation about this effort from last night's Board meeting.
