First Student and the School District of Waukesha are monitoring bus routes for driver absences around the Winter Break. PLEASE take note of any regular email from First Student as we have been notified that some Hillcrest routes will be impacted and closed for some days before and after Winter Break. Bus #11 and Bus #16 has cancellations before and after the Winter Break. Please see the email from First Student for more information. Families will be responsible for transporting their child to school on days that the bus has been cancelled. Please reach out to our office if you know this bus cancellation will prevent your child from being at school.

New Student Enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year opens on December 1st!
