Dear Hillsborough Community Members,
We're excited with the launch of our redesigned Hillsborough Township Public Schools website and mobile app this school year! These new platforms aim to provide an improved user experience with easier navigation and access to essential information. To help us ensure the website meets your needs, we kindly request you take a few minutes to complete a brief survey about your experience with the new site. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to continuously improve our communication and online resources for all stakeholders. Thank you for your participation!

As we all look forward to the start of the school year, please be advised that buses typically experience delays over the first few days of school. This is completely normal as students work through new routines and routes are adjusted due to traffic patterns and/or construction on roads. It is especially noticeable at elementary dismissal as we take time in assuring that every child safely gets on the correct bus each day. Elementary school dismissal time typically sees the longest delays at the start of the school year.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we strive to ensure safe and efficient transportation for all our students. Rest assured, we're committed to getting everyone to and from school safely!
The 2024-2025 school year starts in a few short days! Our first day of school is Thursday, September 5, 2024. If you did not receive the letter with important back to school information, please check your settings in Genesis and contact the office on Tuesday for any further assistance.
See you all next week!
Mr. Rathjen

This is an important day for all Americans to remember. Our Superintendent, like many other in our community, had a family member that was a part of this campaign which helped changed the world. It's a great day to pause and reflect on the meaning of sacrifice and doing the right thing.
