Hinckley-Big Rock CUSD #429

If you have driven past the schools, you have undoubtedly noticed the dumpsters and work trucks! We are in full swing with the facilities improvement projects. Secure entrances are underway at the High School & District office and the middle school cafe is opening up! If you need to stop by a school, please call first so we can meet you at the appropriate door.

Thank you for a great year!

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!

Last chance to sign up! The dentist is coming to OUR school! School Smiles, an on-site dental care clinic, will be at Hinckley-Big Rock Elementary for all district and homeschool students in Hinckley and Big Rock on Wednesday, April 17th. Full dental services available including cleaning, fluoride, x-rays and more! Insurances accepted and self-pay options are available. Visit www.schoolsmiles.com for more information. Please direct all questions to nurse@hbr429.org.
