January 11, 2024,
Hillsboro R-III School Community,
In light of the latest weather predictions, we anticipate potential weather issues in our area around 3 p.m. tomorrow. Out of an abundance of caution, we plan to adjust to a three-hour early release schedule for Friday, January 12, 2024. The revised release times will be as follows:
Grades 7-12
Junior High - 11:20 a.m.
Learning Center - 11:28 a.m.
High School - 11:31 a.m.
Grades K-6
Intermediate - 12:33 p.m.
Elementary - 12:33 p.m.
Primary - 12:43 p.m.
The early release ensures that all students and staff can return home safely before the weather worsens.
Extracurricular activities:
Regarding extracurricular activities, All campuses will close by 1:30 p.m. Therefore, practices can be conducted until then, but any activities scheduled after this time will be canceled.
Ensuring the safety of our students and staff remains our foremost concern. Decisions influenced by weather forecasts are challenging. However, the risk of an ice event occurring while our buses, students, and staff are in transit is a risk we strive to avoid. Additionally, it is important for us to provide sufficient notice so that families have ample time to make necessary arrangements.
Should the weather forecast change significantly, with an earlier onset, we retain the flexibility to make further adjustments up until tomorrow morning.
Stay Safe,
Dr. Jon Isaacson
Superintendent of Schools
We share this cool picture of buses lined up at the JH this afternoon to remind everyone to be careful and mindful driving home this afternoon, in the snowy weather moving in. ☃️
We ask Primary parents / guardians to please be at the bus stop to get your little Hawks, thus avoiding delays and traffic backing up behind the buses. 🙂
Let's get everyone home safe! #HawkSafetyFirst 💙

Congratulations to our December Staff of the Month, Madi Rogers! 💙
The word of the month was patience.
Here is just some of what was said about her:
“Mandi's job calls for a lot of patience. She has so much when working with her group of students. And she does so with love, kindness, but firmness. Her students know she cares and but has expectations for them. She is the perfect person for her job and she should be recognized for all that she does.”
“So many challenges happen in room 110. Mrs. Rogers is always patient with all of her students and staff members. Even on bad days she is always smiling while interacting with the students. She does not hold grudges and continues to treat all the students with respect even when they are giving her and staff members a hard way to go. Each day starts fresh. When something does not work out, she steps in and tries something different. She does not give up! She is one tough cookie!”
Mr. Brian Sucharski is our November Staff of the Month! 💙
Those who nominated said: "He is the epitome of respect. He is always a team player, and has a positive influence on everything that he is a part of. He models respectfulness to his students, and is also well respected by his peers. Brian is a great role model for our students."
As reported by a student: "He is always trying to make chemistry fun and is a really good teacher because he is always available to help."
We honored our veterans today with a luncheon and assembly 💙 Thank you to our guest speakers Frank J. Grass and Chris Miller 🇺🇸
