HV Update 5-30-25

Dear HV Families,

We packed a lot into a very short week here at Hillview. On Thursday, Hillview participated in and won Battle of the Books! Huge congratulations to Mrs. Munro and the students that participated. Last night was incredible and it was a tremendous turn out! The first and second grade music concerts, Art Show, and Book Fair were huge successes! Thank you to Mrs. Finnen, Mr. Vivino, Mrs. Dreher, Mrs. Mangarelli, the HSA, and countless parent volunteers who transformed the school and made the evening so special.

We are looking forward to the Quidditch game next week, NJ Week for the fourth graders, and our final pep rally of the year.

Enjoy your weekend and we'll see you back at HV on Monday.

Best,

Allison

With all of the warm weather allergies, it could bed be hard to determine when to keep your child home. Follow these guidelines:

• Keep your child home if he/she does not feel well enough to participate in normal activities, even if fever-free.
• Keep your child home until fever-free for 24 hours without the need to take fever-reducing medication (fever is defined 100.4 and above).
• If nausea/vomiting- keep your child home until at least 24 hours after the last episode of vomiting.
• If your child has strep throat- keep your child home until at least 12 hours have passed since the start of antibiotic treatment and fever-free for 24 hours without the need to take fever-reducing medication and feeling well enough to participate in normal activities.
• If your child is Covid-19 positive, keep home and call your school nurse for the latest guidelines.
• When reporting an absence, please report symptoms and any official diagnoses.
• Obtain a doctor's note if your child is sick for 3 or more days.
• Remind your child about practicing good hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette

Good Afternoon Pequannock Township School District Families:

Last spring the District administered a climate survey as part of an ongoing effort to assess collective perceptions of school culture, discipline, and general school climate. To continue our efforts to address the overall school experience for students and families, we will be administering the survey again to students in grades 4-12 as well as parents the week of June 2.

Data will be used to evaluate current efforts and growth in areas such as anti-bullying and character education. If you have any questions or wish to see the student survey beforehand, please contact Dr. O'Keefe at daniel.okeefe@pequannock.org. If you wish to opt your child(ren) out of the survey, kindly complete this form no later than May 31, 2025.

The revised district calendar can be accessed on the district website.
