Hillcrest Elementary School
Week of August 27, 2023
What's Up Next?
Happy Sunday!
Thank you parents for another great week at HES! As we begin this week, it was brought to our attention that Monday, August 28, is National Wear A Bowtie Day. We sent out notification of this event on Friday. If you and your child would like to participate by wearing a bowtie or tie to school, they may do so tomorrow. This event will give our students an opportunity to get a feel for what it is like to dress professionally, as it is required with some jobs.
Please make sure you are checking your child’s book bag daily for important information that is being sent home from the school. Also, if you were absent any day last week, please submit your child's excuse for their absence. We thank you for your continued support at HES! Let’s have a great week ahead!
A Snapshot of Last Week's Happenings
2nd Grade Library Orientation
Now that they have completed their Library Orientation, our students are ready to begin checking out books. Let the reading begin!!!
Is the Object Magnetic?
Our 2nd graders are testing out different objects to determine if they are magnetic or not.
Keep Dublin-Laurens Beautiful 2023 Annual Awards Luncheon
Everyday Heroes! That is exactly how to define our HES Garden Club Leaders. Thank you to Kamillah and Jordyn for representing the Student Garden Club and receiving the award at last week's luncheon. They enjoyed capturing this moment with our Superintendent, Dr. Fred Williams and our Mayor, Joshua Kight.

Habit #4- Think Win-Win
Think Win-Win is about always looking for ways to cooperate with others so that everyone benefits. Here are some ways to think about a situation being a Win-Win:
- I can problem solve when an issue comes up with another person.
- I think about what other people want and not just what I want.
- I am kind to others and try to think of ways to help everyone to be happy.
Family Activity: Think of a time that you (parent/adult) had a disagreement with someone and how you had to come up with a win-win decision together and share with your child. Then, think of some problems that may come up with your child at school and/or in life and list together. Then, come up with some ways of solving those issues so that both individuals can have a win-win in the end.
Habit #4: Everyone can win!
Dress Code Reminders
- Sweatshirts and hoodies may be worn to school, but hoods cannot be worn inside of school/classroom.
- Leggings cannot be worn as "stand alone." They can be worn under a solid colored skirt/shorts.
- Jeans/Pants may not have any rips, holes, tears, or frays.

Please help us by making sure your child is appropriately dressed before coming to school each day.
