It's time to leave your own mark with a bookmark for our Hillsborough Reads Bookmark Contest! 🎨📖
We are inviting HCPS educators and students in all grades to design a colorful 2.5" x 7" bookmark that captures the theme "Get Caught Reading" for a chance to have their artwork professionally printed and shared across our schools.
Students can ask their school's media specialist for a copy of the bookmark contest guidelines and must submit their entries to their school's art teacher by EOD on Friday, Oct. 31. Winners will be announced in December!
For more details or the official entry form, visit https://bit.ly/hillsreadsbookmark.

We're excited to kick off the 2025-26 school year. Welcome back, students and families!
Hello Parents,
Tomorrow is the first day of school! Our summer has come to an end. I hope you all had the chance to rest and relax with your loved ones. Students can enter the building promptly at 8:15 tomorrow morning. Parents you are also allowed to escort your child to class on the first day only. Please park in the back parking lot nearest the cafeteria. Tomorrow is also an early release Monday with a 2pm dismissal time. Parents, please make note of this early dismissal time as we are moving back to this schedule for the 25'-26' school year. I look forward to a great start to the year and your continued support. Thank you!
Principal Jackson
