THE HUSKYHOWLERWeek of August 15, 2022 Vol.2 Issue 1

Dear Hillcrest Families, Friends, and Staff,

I hope you all had a wonderful, restful, and memorable Summer. It is a pleasure to welcome you back to school. This will be an exciting year as we continue to grow and strengthen our AVID Elementary, Leader In Me, Dual Language, and Science programs. Students will have opportunities to develop leadership skills through Enrichment & Service Clubs, leadership lessons, school assemblies, and use of our MakerSpace. We will be offering multiple ways for parents to be involved at Hillcrest through parent workshops, school committees, PTA, Volunteering, and special events. Our teachers and staff are ready to provide all students with a world-class educational experience. Our theme this year is "Hillcrest Elementary - the Happiest Place"
