Hillsboro ISD is proud to offer a 4-day school week to provide balance for both our students and staff members. Additionally, the 2026-2027 school year was built with several extended breaks and more than 20 Fridays off for students. We've put together a helpful document showcasing these dates to help families plan appointments, getaways, family events, and even rest days.
We love having our students at school, and attendance is important! Please refer to this helpful document throughout the year to help students make the most of their time in the classroom. Thank you for your support and partnership in education!
