School District of Hillsboro

STAFF FEATURE FRIDAY | Who is ready to highlight another amazing staff member?! This week, we will be shining our light on Linda Bisarek! Linda is the MS/HS Instructional Coach and Interventionist as well as the Servant Leadership Instructor. She taught high school English, Title I and was also the Afterschool Coordinator at Plus One. Her husband, Curt, is the superintendent here in Hillsboro. Their son, Drew, just graduated and is on his way to Fox Valley Tech in the fall to be a Networks System Administrator. Their daughter, Kyra, will be starting 8th grade this year and can often be found on the basketball court. As a family, they love going to the beach! Linda's dream is to one day spend an entire winter somewhere that has no snow! When asked why she loves working at Hillsboro, this is what she said: "I love working at Hillsboro because the people and systems here work so hard to help kids succeed in so many ways. People genuinely care about kids. It's inspiring to me." Thank you for all you do Linda, in many ways, you inspire us all! #HSDGoTigers #TigerProud

No Chromebook checkout available after 6:30 pm. Sixth Grade Orientation is at 6:00 pm and Freshmen Orientation is at 7:00 pm, both in the HS gym. The Gridiron Get Together that was scheduled for tomorrow has been canceled. Please stay safe everyone! #HSDGoTigers

We are cancelling any scheduled meetings for staff today. We will use today as a work day...only for those who can safely make it to school. If you cannot, please "flex" the day to a safer time. Weather permitting, we will have our "welcome back" session after lunch on Wednesday.

STAFF FEATURE FRIDAY | This Friday we want to shine the light on the High School Life and Environmental Science teacher, Maggie Schultz! Maggie has been with the Hillsboro School District for the past two years! She used to work for the Sea Life Aquarium in Kansas City and her hobbies include scuba diving, running, and hanging out with her cat, Luna. When asked why she loves working for the District, this is what she had to say: "I love being a part of a community that cares so much and getting to be a part of so many awesome things!" Thank you for all you do Maggie! #HSDGoTigers #TigerProud

District paraprofessionals attended a 2-day summit at CESA this week!

On Wednesday, August 29, the MS/HS will be handing out student packets, schedules, and Chromebooks during the Open House from 4:00 - 6:30 pm. Student packets can be picked up in the cafeteria. Parents must have the packets before they can pick up Chromebooks.

With school right around the corner, here is a reminder of passing rules regarding a stopped school bus in Wisconsin. ALL lanes of traffic must stop for a stopped school bus! This applies both to vehicles approaching from the rear and from the opposing lanes unless the opposing lanes of a highway are divided with a center median. Let's keep our #HSDGoTigers safe!

The easiest way to someone's heart is through their stomach! These #HSDGoTigers loved spending time in the kitchen this summer!

Help us welcome Nancy Schaller to our #HSDGoTigers team as an administrative assistant!

When asked why she is looking forward to working in Hillsboro, this is what she said: "I like the small, close-knit atmosphere of this school. There is also a real sense of teamwork. Everyone is working towards the same goal - wanting the best for the students, their families and the community!" Welcome Nancy, we are so excited to have you!
