Hillsboro School District Weekly Hot News, June 10, 2024 - Last Days of School

Hillsboro School District Weekly Hot News Podcast

The end of the 2023-24 school year has arrived, which means it’s time for learning a few final lessons, field days, yearbook signing, and looking forward to summer vacation.

There will be limited after-school child care and activities all week - note that Boys & Girls Club has closed for the year; please check with your child’s school for specifics on site-based programs - and the last day for students is Thursday, June 13th. This will be an early release day, meaning students will get out of school three hours earlier than normal. Lunch will still be available at all sites prior to release.

There are a variety of camps and activities available for students this summer, including the City of Hillsboro’s Outpost free lunch and activity program at Shute Park and Shadywood Park. The Outpost runs Mondays through Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., June 24 through August 15. Children ages 1 through 18 can receive a free meal and enjoy giant bubbles, water Wednesdays, field games, arts & crafts, and more! Please note: there will be no lunch or activities on Thursday, July 4th.

Free meals will also be available at Walnut Street Park, McKinney Park, Reedville Elementary School and Lincoln Street Elementary School from June 24th through August 15th, Mondays through Thursdays, with no service on Thursday, July 4th.

Want to keep up or enhance those reading skills? Then take advantage of the Hillsboro Public Library’s free Summer Reading Program! Learn more and sign up at the library or at a Library on the Loose event.

For other summertime activities, please consult the City of Hillsboro’s activities guide, and HSD’s Calendar, Approved Flyers, and Student Opportunities webpages.

We hope everyone has a fun, relaxing, and healthy summer! We look forward to reconnecting with you in the fall.
