This year MDE is introducing something new for districts. We recognize some districts and intermediate school districts have an established process to award local teachers of the year. If so, representatives of districts may email teacher nominations directly to MTOY@Michigan.gov. Please include teacher name, personal identification code (PIC), email address, and school employed. An email verifying receipt will be sent within 48 hours. Nominations from districts will be accepted now until September 25, 2024.

More information is available on the Michigan Teacher of the Year webpage. Please contact the Office of Educator Excellence at MTOY@Michigan.gov with any questions regarding the program or nomination process. We sincerely thank you for helping to share this information with your district.

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!

We had a wonderful start at our meeting on 6/5/24! Thank you for those who attended virtually. Our next meeting will be in-person on 6/21 at 10:00am in the media center. We hope you can join us!

The district will be providing workbooks for this summer for all students. Students who complete the workbook and turn it in the first week of school will be rewarded. We will send these home with your child at the last week of school.

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.

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!
