Student Flu Shot Clinic - The Hillsboro R-3 School District and the Jefferson County Health Department are working together to offer a Flu Vaccination Clinic for students. The clinic will take place on December 7, 2018. The Health Department will visit each building and administer the flu vaccine to students whose parents/guardians have completed the necessary paperwork. All forms must be received by your student’s building no later than November 30, 2018. This is to ensure that the Health Department brings the appropriate number of doses needed. This deadline will be strictly enforced, therefore, forms must be returned promptly. In order for your child to receive the vaccine, you must complete and return the forms at this link - https://5il.co/5lyw
JH Update: This morning a graffiti message was found written in the girl’s restroom of the Junior High School. The message threatened to “shoot the school up”. As always, the safety of students and staff is our top priority. Law enforcement was immediately notified. The Junior High students, faculty, and staff were put on a modified lock-down. In order to verify that no threat existed, student lockers and bags were searched. Metal detecting wands were used to determine if any students were in possession of a weapon. After a thorough sweep of the building, NO evidence of any type of weapon was found. Once the all clear was given by law enforcement, students, faculty, and staff were able to return to their normal schedule. We appreciate your willingness to continually trust us with your children. Thank you for your patience and understanding as student safety is our number one priority. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your child’s school or our office at 636-789-0060. Link to copy of letter - https://5il.co/5lp7

We are excited to announce Infinite Campus has two new apps available in the app store – Campus Parent and Campus Student (a new version of Campus Portal). Both apps include enhanced features to make it more useful for students and parents, with additional tools being added in the coming months. Once you download the app, you will be prompted to enter the District Name (Hillsboro) and State. Next, you will need to click Search District and select Hillsboro R-III from the list. Your username and password will be the same as the Campus Portal. Please Note: Campus Portal is still available, but will be phased out at the end of this school year.
Students will be available to access the new Student Portal from their current Campus Portal. In the upper right corner, next to their name will be a green icon "Try the new Campus Student". If a student clicks on this link, they will see what the new portal looks like. Later this year after all new tools have been added, we will change the default to the new Student Portal.
