PARENTS OUR TEACHERS NEED YOUR HELP! Please consider donating the following to your child's teacher:

-Pack of Copy Paper

-Kleenex box

-Small Water bottles

-Extra healthy snacks for the class to store incase a student forgets

We truly appreciate it!

Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately! It's cold out, so a jacket is a must when heading outside! If the temperature is over 60 degrees students may wear a hoodie sweatshirt outside on the playground, otherwise a jacket is a must below 60 degrees. We take a look at the temperature and if the feel is below 20 degrees we keep students inside. Lately our playground has been muddy so we have been keeping students inside but once we are able to, we will provide the outdoor recess to help our students get their energy out and fresh air:)

All hardware capable of video or recording are prohibited during school hours due to FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) Law. e.g. cell phones, technology watches, ipads; Students who have these devices will be asked to place them in their lockers.

Due to the responsibilities and limited transportation, we cannot allow families to take their little ones, who are still at home, on any class field trips. Each location classes go on field trips to have different guidelines and it will be difficult for our teachers to be able to accept non-Hillcrest students attending these field trips. So if your student is attending a field trip and you are invited to be a chaperone, only you and the student can attend. We appreciate your understanding.

Regular attendance at school is crucial to students’ academic success. Presence in the classroom, either in person or virtually, allows students to participate in class instruction and discussion, exposing them to group interactions with teachers and other students. State law requires “continuous and consecutive” school attendance for the entire school year for children 6 to 18 years old.

If you need to pick-up your child early from school, please make sure to contact the office by 11:00a.m.! This will provide the teacher time to prepare work and gather your child's things. Work will not be given if no phone call made ahead of time to the office, your child will receive the class work the next day or when they return to school. Your child will not be released after 3:00 p.m.. if a phone call was not made before 11:00 a.m.

We appreciate your cooperation with this matter!

Hello Husky Family,

We at Hillcrest have been working hard to help our huskies grow into responsible and respectful individuals. We had shared our expectations at the beginning of the school year regarding how to utilize all areas of the building as it is not one individual utilizing the building but all staff and students as a whole. We kindly ask that you speak with your child regarding proper restroom etiquette. In order to continue maintaining restrooms in a sanatory condition, we would appreciate your support with this matter. As we get closer to colder temperatures lets work together to keep germs away. There will be consequences for those who intentionally misuse their restroom privileges. Thank you!

Families please remember to send your child with a healthy snack everyday! We also ask to please provide them with a water bottle. Students are able to fill their water bottles at the drinking fountain, where there is a filtration station. Thank you!
