Husky E-News

From the Principal
Hillendale families,
I hope you are having a great weekend!
Thank you for your support from home in making our annual "Start With Hello" Week a great success as we focused on spreading kindness and inclusivity throughout Hillendale.
Please know that your children and our staff did a terrific job this past Wednesday afternoon as we transitioned our building in and out of "Secure" status. Read more about what "Secure" means within the Standard Response Protocol below.
I hope many of you can join us at our annual Husky Hayride this upcoming Wednesday evening! See more details in the PTO section below.
Have a great week!
Joshua Leight
Hillendale Elementary Principal
Hillendale Updates
HES Back to School Night Timing Survey
This Friday is the LAST DAY to complete this brief survey to share your feedback on our earlier BTSN time this school year (5 - 6:30 PM as opposed to 6:30 - 8:00 PM). Thank you for your time.
"Secure" in Standard Response Protocol
Hillendale students and staff did a terrific job transitioning to "Secure" status on Wednesday afternoon in response to information alerting us of our need to do so.
See more details here about what it means to be in "Secure" noting that at HES our exterior doors are ALWAYS locked. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Early Dismissal Requirements
A safe, precise, and efficient dismissal process requires both communication and clear procedures. For all dismissal changes, please submit your request by 2:30 PM by emailing hesattendance@ucfsd.net. All early dismissal pick-ups must occur by 3:15 PM in order to have a safe dismissal for all our students. Communicating last-minute changes from 3:15 PM onward is extremely difficult and creates confusion for staff and students. We appreciate your partnership.
