Hillcrest Wednesday Message
September 30th, 2026
Congratulations Parents!! We hit our highest attendance of the year today! 98 %
Good evening Hillcrest Families,
Thank you so much for getting your children to school!! We have had great attendance so let's keep it going.
The Phillies will see another game day tomorrow! 🏐 Your children are welcome to wear their Phillies gear tomorrow.
Friday dress day will be - Say Goodbye to Summer! Wear your favorite summer apparel. Please make sure your child is wearing closed toed shoes to school.
Reminders for Student Drop Off and Pick Up
- Carline - Do Not exit your vehicle to retrieve your child. This is a safety issue for you, your child and other children.
- The teachers cannot pull your child from different lines if you choose to change your pick up routine., You must email your teacher the morning of the requested change. In addition, a pick up change cannot occur everyday. This causes possible errors for your child's dismissal and other safety concerns.
- If you are choosing to pick up your child from school and want them retrieved from the bus lines, again, this change must occur as a request in an email to the teacher in the morning.
- If you are requesting your child not board the bus at the end of the day, you must arrive prior to the bus pick up time. We cannot risk your child being here after hours if you are not on time to pick your child up.
