HV Update 11-4-26

It was a quick week here at HV! If you have not already done so, please log into Genesis and sign up for Parent/Teacher Conferences. Instructions are included below. Also, the deadline for ordering half day snacks on conference days is tomorrow.

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

Best,

Allison

Please review the attached letter for information regarding conferences. Sign-ups open on Monday in Genesis.

Each year we have the opportunity to recognize staff who are respected, dedicated, show leadership, and contribute to the community. If you would like to nominate a staff member for the Governor’s Educator of the Year Award, either a teacher or an educational services professional, please fill out the form attached below or email a nomination to Mrs. Stager at allison.stager@pequannock.org. The more specific your nomination form is, the better chances your nominee has to earn the distinction. Please submit all nominations to Mrs. Stager by Wednesday, 11/18.

We continue to ask for your partnership in bringing students to school each day when they are well, and scheduling vacations around school days. Please note that the state considers most absences as unexcused, even when a student has been ill and medical documentation provided. Here at Hillview, we understand that students will be absent from time to time for valid reasons. However, the only absences that can marked "excused" are the following: religious observances, Veterans Day activities, Take our Children to Work Day, and transportation related closures.

To help keep you aware of your child's totals, we notify parents of students who have been absent 5, 10, or more days thus far. At 10 or more days absent, we may request a conference or a phone call where we can help develop personalized strategies to improve your child's attendance. Please reach out if you notice any signs of school avoidance, or if you have questions about whether to keep your child home. As always, thank you for your support!
