We Miss You, Burros!

We obviously can’t predict what’s going to happen next week in terms of school closures. We are going ahead and sharing the plans for next week and beyond in this newsletter, but it all depends on school opening back up. This is a rough time in Nashville, for sure. Let’s all look out for each other and stay safe!

Looking Ahead to Next Year’s PTSO

Parents, our PTSO helps make Hillsboro the amazing school that it is. We are so grateful to all the parents who volunteer to help out, whether it’s once a semester or every week! Please consider being part of the PTSO board next year. It’s such a fantastic way to get connected with the school and stay informed about what is going on. Click HERE to fill out a survey and share what you are interested in doing!

Coming Home Week

The Coming Home basketball game is scheduled for next Friday, February 6. See the graphic for the spirit week themes that have been shared by SGA (be sure to follow them and check in on Instagram @burrosga).

Registration Nights

Registration night for rising 10th through 12th graders and their families, originally scheduled for January 29, will be rescheduled. A new date will be announced at a later time.

On Tuesday, February 10, there will be an Academy & Program Showcase for rising 9th graders and their families beginning at 5:00 PM, followed by a presentation and course registration for those who are zoned for/planning to attend Hillsboro next year.

Spring Semester Fundraisers

Mark your calendars for these upcoming Hillsboro PTSO fundraisers! Thanks so much to these businesses for supporting Hillsboro:

Green Hills Grille on Monday, March 2
Sage Refill Market on Saturday, April 18

Spring Sports Tryouts

Volunteer Needs

Workers are needed for concessions AND spirit wear sales during every home basketball game. Please click HERE and sign up for a shift if you can! If you are the parent of a Hillsboro athlete, your volunteer shift counts toward PTSO support of your child’s sport (senior banners, access to Burro athletic funds if needed). Hot tip: corral a few of your friends and sign up to work a shift together!
Can you bake/purchase and/or hand out cookies and treats at the Friday Cookie Table during lunch this semester? Click HERE to sign up for a shift or to donate a batch or two of treats. Handout slots fill up quickly, but we always need more cookies, so please consider donating to keep this beloved Hillsboro tradition going strong!
We need parents to help give Saturday tours of Hillsboro over the next few months. Sign up HERE if you can help us show off this awesome place! There are always student tour guides who generally do much of the talking, so it’s truly not a difficult job, just a great way to get more connected to and familiar with the school!

Prom Theme Reveal

Guys, the new prom theme just dropped! Keep your eyes out for more information about this epic event, Hollywood After Dark, as it becomes available!

Screenagers Under the Influence

With gratitude to our middle and high School PTO collaborations, the most recent Screenagers film, Screenagers Under the Influence, will be presented at Hillsboro on February 2 at 6:30 PM. It tackles social media’s effect on our kids as it pertains to the marketing of drugs and other alcohol, including vaping.

Everyone is welcome, and parents of middle and high school students are encouraged to attend with their kids. Parents of younger students can watch the trailer HERE to determine whether this film is appropriate for your family.

Greece Trip 2027

Do you have the travel bug? If so, consider joining Burro students and teachers in Greece in May of 2027. Please contact Mrs. Banks (lesa.banks@mnps.org) if you are interested.
