Hilltop Elementary School

We are off to a great start! Thank you for all of your support and cooperation to ensure a smooth first week of school!

Labor Day

School is closed on Monday, September 1, in observance of Labor Day. Tuesday, September 2 is a delayed opening for students (10:30 a.m. start). Drop off for K-4 begins at 10:15 a.m. Pre-K drop off is at 11:00am.

Crunch and Sip (snack time)

Crunch & Sip is a set time for students to ‘refuel’ on a healthy snack (fruit,vegetable, cheese stick, beef stick) and ‘rehydrate’ with water while still participating in class. Students who are not hungry and are well hydrated perform better in the classroom, show increased concentration, and are less likely to be irritable. Classrooms are nut free, so please make sure your child's snack does not contain any nuts.

Pick Up Patrol

Please note that any changes regarding your child’s dismissal plan MUST be entered in Pick-Up Patrol. After 1:00 p.m. any changes must be called into the main office. Staff will send your child to the designated area as specified in the daily dismissal report.

School attendance is a powerful predictor of student outcomes. New Jersey defines chronic absenteeism as missing 10% (18 days) or more of school days during the school year.

Please see the attached letter from Mr. Moser

Please fill out the linked form to reserve a spot for volunteer training. All volunteers must be BOE approved, complete vector training, and receive in-person training to assist in the lunch room, library, and go on your child's field trip.
