Hillcrest Elementary School
Week of December 10, 2023
What's Up Next?
Happy Sunday!
Thank you to all that participated and supported our Christmas Luncheon and Winter Wonderland on last week! Both events were a success. We hope that each of you enjoyed it as well. Please see a few snapshots from the events below.
We have come to our final week of this 2nd Nine Week grading period and end of the first semester. We will finish up with our middle of the year screeners and post assessments this week in the content areas of math and reading. Please enourage your child to do his or her best.
Lastly, please be reminded that Friday, December 15th, is an Early Release Day for Dublin City Schools. Our students at HES will begin dismissal at 11:45 a.m. Please be sure to make afternoon arrangements for your child, if needed, since students will be coming home earlier than usual. We look forward to another great week at HES! Have a blessed week ahead!
December 15th - Early Dismissal
Hello Fighting Irish Family! I’m sure it’s already circled on your calendars, but please be reminded that next Friday, December 15th is a half day for Dublin City Schools.

Next Friday, breakfast will be served as normal, and students will receive lunch before they leave.
Thank you for your continued support of Dublin City Schools! We’re looking forward to finishing strong next week and then enjoying a restful Christmas Break
Winter Wonderland Literacy & Fine Arts Night Feedback Opportunity
Parents & Friends,
If you participated in our Winter Wonderland 2023 last Thursday and did not get a chance to submit your feedback on our event, we would appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to scan the QR code and provide us some feedback to help with continuing to support the needs of our parents. Thank you in advance for your continued support!
Habit of the Week: Habit #3 – Put First Things First
Are you spending time on things that are the most important to you? We should prioritize things that need to be done before doing things that we want to do. Encourage your child to get their work out of the way first and then play. When we take care of our priorities, we will have a much better day.
Family Activity: Make a list of things you enjoy doing and things that need to be done around the house. Then plan out your week on a calendar with your most important jobs first, so that you feel better about accomplishing your goals.
Habit #3: Work first, then play!
