The end of the 2022-23 school year has arrived, which means it’s time for learning a few final lessons, field days, yearbook signing, and looking forward to summer vacation.
There will be limited after-school child care and activities (please check with your child’s school for specifics and note that no transportation will be provided) all week, and the last day for students is Thursday, June 15. This will be an early release day, meaning students will get out of school three hours earlier than normal. Lunch will still be available at all sites prior to release. 
There are a variety of camps and activities available for students this summer, including the free lunch and activity program at the City of Hillsboro’s Outpost program, taking place June 21 through August 17, Mondays through Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Shute Park and Shadywood Park. Children ages 1 through 18 can receive a free meal and enjoy giant bubbles, water Wednesdays, field games, arts & crafts, and more! Please note: there will be no lunch or activities on Tuesday, July 4. 
Free meals will also be available at Walnut Street Park, McKinney Park, Reedville Elementary School and Lincoln Street Elementary School from June 21 through August 17, Mondays through Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to noon, with no service on Tuesday, July 4. 
Want to keep up or enhance those reading skills? Then take advantage of the Hillsboro Public Library’s free Summer Reading Program! Learn more and sign up at the library or at a Library on the Loose event. 
For other summertime activities, please consult the City of Hillsboro’s activities guide, and HSD’s Calendar, Approved Flyers, and Student Opportunities webpages. 
We hope everyone has a fun, relaxing, and healthy summer!
