Registration for the 2024-2025 school is now open! Early registration helps us to better plan for next year. We are also issuing a district wide challenge. The grade with the most approved registrations by April 24th will earn a pizza party and families that have registered by May 15th will be entered into a raffle for some prizes. Check your email or our website (hbr429.org) for additional information.

We are doing a controlled burn at the far north east side of the high school fields today, (behind the softball field). You may see smoke in that area; there is no reason for concern. The Hinckley Fire Department has been notified. Thank you!
