Due to traffic backing up on route 219, Hillsboro Elementary School will be changing the drop off procedures in the mornings. If entering from the north, turn left on Hill street going around the block and enter the school from in front of the library. If entering from the south, turn right on Demar road, going around the block and enter the school from in front of the library. Thank you for making these changes so we do not block traffic on the main road.
