Congratulations to Mr. Brandon Holthausen for being named our March Staff Member of the Month!
This month’s theme was "Humorous." It sounds like Brandon delivers that and so much more 😄.
From “hilarious comebacks and stories” to being described as “the funniest guy around,” it’s clear he brings joy to those around him every single day.
But what stands out even more…
💙 His positivity
💙 His connection with students
💙 His genuine care for staff and kids
That combination is what makes a lasting impact.
👏 Brandon, thank you for keeping the office smiling, supporting students, and making Hillsboro a better place to be.

Our March Student of the Month winners as well as the Level Up Award Recipients. 👍#BoroBuilt

Here is a link to the website where you can register students: https://www.hsdr3.org/page/annualregistration
Annual Online Registration is required for all returning students and is completed through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. During the process, families will verify and update items such as contact information, emergency contacts, health information, transportation details and required district agreements.
One of the most important steps families should prepare for ahead of time is providing a current proof of residency. The document must be from the current billing cycle or within the last 30 days, and it can be uploaded directly into the system as a photo or PDF.
Families who do not currently have proof of residency in their own name and are living with another household in the district will need to complete a District Affidavit of Residency form, which requires notarized signatures and supporting documentation.
