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.

STUDENTS WHO ARE BRINGING TECHNOLOGY WITH THEM TO SCHOOL PLEASE REMEMBER:

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 inside their backpacks.

PLEASE REMIND YOUR CHILD REGARDING--Restroom Etiquette at Hillcrest:

This was a major problem last week and its a reminder for ALL Young 5's/Kindergarten-Fourth Grade students!

Hello Husky Family,

We at Hillcrest have been working hard to help our huskies grow into responsible and respectful individuals. I will be visiting your child's class 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 sanitary condition, we would appreciate your support with this matter. As we get closer to colder temperatures let's work together to keep germs away. There will be consequences for those who intentionally misuse their restroom privileges. Thank you!--Principal Saad

Medication information from Nurse Mrs. Berry:

"Welcome back Ravens!

As we get back into the swing of things, I want to remind parents that students who need medications during school hours must have documentation on file that is signed by a physician. You can find all health related documents on the CSD website and I have linked some of them below. If your child has a health condition that I need to be aware of, please email me so I can update MiStar with the pertinent information. Let's have a safe and healthy school year!
