PRINCIPAL's THOUGHTS
Dear Page Hilltop Families:
We hope you have all enjoyed some relaxing and fun-filled days this past week! We have some very busy weeks ahead of us. We have created this "Events Calendar" for the remainder of the school year to help you plan accordingly.
Please take time to review this calendar with your children so that they can look forward to all of the exciting activities & events that will be coming up.
Take note of those events that include parental involvement so that you may check your personal / work schedules.
If you haven't already checked on the status of your CORI, please do so asap.
Don't miss out on our traditional "Cheers & Tears March Out" on the last day of school (June 21st) beginning at 12:15.
Thanks, as always, for sharing your children with us!
Fred Deppe, Principal
Matt Lutinski, Assistant Principal
