About HDES

Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School will accept applications for the Preschool lottery for the 2025-2026 school year. Registration packets can be picked up at the Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School Main Office on Monday, March 31, 2025 through Friday, April 11, 2025 between 8am and 4pm.

Children who reside in the towns of Hillsboro, Deering or Windsor and who will be three or four years of age on or before September 30, 2025 are eligible for the preschool lottery. Preschool placement will be announced by the end of June and any additional openings will be filled using a waitlist process.

On Wednesday, May 21, 2025 there will be a Preschool Parent Information Night at 5:00 pm at HDES. A typical preschool day will be discussed, followed by a question and answer period. Please bring completed registration application packets. If you have any questions, please contact Robin Whitney, Principal, at (603) 464-1283 or <rwhitney@hdsd.org> .

25-26 Preschool Application and Information Night

Children who reside in the towns of Hillsboro, Deering or Windsor and who will be five years of age on or before September 30, 2025 are eligible for kindergarten registration.  Please pick up a registration packet at the Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School Main Office 3/31/25-4/11/25 between 8am-4pm.

On Wednesday, May 21, 2025 there will be a Kindergarten Parent Information Night at 5:30 p.m. Please bring your *completed* registration packet. An overview of a typical kindergarten day will be presented to parents, followed by a question and answer period.  Kindergarten screenings will also be scheduled at this time. We understand how unsettling it can be to parents to send their child off to school for the first time.  We hope this information session will help parents feel more secure about the wonderful experience that awaits their child at Hillsboro-Deering Elementary School. We are looking forward to meeting you on May 21st.

If you have any questions, please contact Cathy Bennett at the Hillsboro-Deering Elementary Main Office @ 464-1122.
