HILLCREST FAMILY HUSKY HAPPENINGS
10/14/24
Dear Husky family,
On behalf of all of us here at Hillcrest we would like to express our deepest condolences and sympathies to all families affected by the current situation in the Middle East. It is truly heart-wrenching to witness the suffering and turmoil that is unfolding in that region.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones during this challenging time. We understand the pain and fear that many are experiencing, and we want you to know that we stand in solidarity with you. As we navigate through these uncertain times, it is important for us to come together and support one another.
Although International Day of Peace has already passed, I believe it is never too late to strive for peace and unity in our world. Let us continue to pray for peace, understanding, and compassion to prevail during these difficult times.
Please know that we are here for you and that you are not alone. If there is anything we can do to support you or your family, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Wishing you strength, hope, and peace,
Mrs. Saad and the Hillcrest Team

Your Presence Matters--10 Days of Absence or Less for Success
The new school year is upon us and we are excited! The new year brings lots of opportunities for our students and their families. This year, we're placing a special emphasis on the power of consistent attendance. Why? Because we believe in unlocking every student's full potential, and that starts with being present. As a district, we will monitor attendance and notify parents/guardians on a consistent basis when students are absent.
Key benefits of daily attendance:
Stress reduction
Stronger connections with peers and teachers
Enhanced learning experiences
Let's work together to make daily school attendance a habit. Your child's success starts with showing up.
