Back to School Night Is August 20
Back to School/Meet the Teachers Night will be Tuesday, August 20, from 5:00 to 7:30 PM. Parents will have the opportunity to walk their student's schedule, meet the teachers, and get a quick introduction to each class. You'll also hear all about the PTSO's plans for the year. We'll be kicking off the annual INVEST campaign, our most important fundraiser of the year, and selling Hillsboro spirit wear. (Can you work a shift in the spirit wear booth that night? Click HERE to volunteer.) Can't wait to see everyone! |

Stock the Supply Closets
Please consider purchasing supplies from the PTSO's Amazon wish list to help our teachers stock their classrooms and avoid having to buy items with their own money. Click HERE to view the list. You can have items shipped directly to the school (choose Hillsboro's address during checkout), or you can drop supplies off in the front office if you prefer.

Friday Cookie Table
Cookie Fridays are one of Hillsboro's most beloved traditions. A few times a month, parents stand at a table during lunch and hand out baked treats. The "price" of a cookie? Students must tell a good thing about their day or their week. We hear all kinds of good things: my older brother is home from college this weekend, I got a 100 on my math test, I got my driver's license, etc. If you would like to participate in this wonderful tradition by either handing out cookies or baking (or buying) them and sending them into the office, sign up HERE (to give everyone a chance, please sign up to hand out cookies no more than twice per semester),
