Greetings Lenox Families/Saludos Familias Lenox
I want to extent a sincere thank you as we navigate these times of uncertainty. I know firsthand having my own students attending Hillsboro Schools, the increased level of stress related to the evolving guidance and impact on our community as a whole. Thank you for your grace, patience, and flexibility as we navigate these times together. A Safety and Health Update was released on January 13th, you can find all of the details in the memo HERE including changes to quarantine requirements. We will continue to prioritize the health and safety of our students and staff, thank you for your support in these efforts.

Volunteer Requirements - Update Regarding March 28 Deadline
Important Update -- all volunteers will need to submit to a fingerprint-based criminal records check by March 28, 2022, in order to continue volunteering. Until this check is completed, volunteers will not be assigned duties that could put them in a situation where they have direct, unsupervised contact with students. If the check is not completed by March 28, 2022, your volunteer status will go from “approved” to “pending” and you will no longer be allowed to volunteer.
