Hello Hillsboro Family and Community,
You can feel it in the air as the cool, crisp breeze greets us each morning and the colorful leaves begin to cover the hills in front of our school. Autumn has truly arrived at Hillsboro Elementary, and with it comes a powerful reminder that change is a beautiful part of growth. Just as the trees prepare for a new season, our students are growing, learning, and transforming in ways that fill us with pride.
Fall is often called a season of reflection and renewal, and in schools, it feels much the same. It is a time when the roots of learning take hold, curiosity deepens, and students begin to show the fruits of their hard work. Our teachers are cultivating that growth every day by nurturing confidence, perseverance, and a love for learning that lasts well beyond the classroom walls.
This season also brings two of our favorite Hillsboro traditions, times when our entire community comes together to celebrate the joy of learning and belonging. On Tuesday, October 28th, we will open our doors for Open House and Parent-Teacher Conference Night. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to connect with teachers, celebrate student progress, and strengthen the home-school partnership that helps our students thrive.
Then, on Friday, November 7th, we will gather again for our Fall Festival, one of the true highlights of the season filled with fun, laughter, and community spirit. These are the moments that make Hillsboro special, when students, parents, and community members come together not just as participants but as family.
As the hills around us glow with the colors of fall, let us embrace this season of gratitude, growth, and togetherness. Hillsboro is more than a school. It is a community rooted in connection and inspired by change.
With gratitude,
Mr. Mark Leet
Principal, Hillsboro Elementary School
