I would like to take a moment to recognize our incredible 8th grade students, who I can now officially call Metea Mustangs! What a journey it has been. Although I only had one year to get to know this group, they truly left a lasting impression on my heart.

Each and every student has made their mark on Hill Middle School in a unique way. Together, they’ve experienced the ups and downs of adolescence, persevered through challenges, filled our hallways with laughter and joy, and built friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. They have grown not only academically, but also emotionally and personally, and we could not be prouder of the young people they are becoming.

No matter where life takes them, I hope they always remember that they are valued, supported, and loved beyond beyond belief. Hill Middle School will always be a place they can call home, and we look forward to the day they return to share all the ways they’ve continued to grow...physically, emotionally, and academically.

Our 8th graders have shown us that they are truly a force to be reckoned with, and I cannot wait to see all the amazing things they accomplish with that super power.

All the best,

Mrs. Mitchell

📢 Attention Incoming 6th Grade Parents! 📢

It's time to gear up for a healthy year ahead! 🌟 To ensure your child's wellness and readiness for the upcoming academic year, we kindly remind you of the mandatory requirements for physical, immunizations, and dental exams.

🏥 Physical Exams: Let's kick off with a check-up! Call your child’s provider as soon as possible to schedule a physical before the first day of school to assess their overall health and ensure they're primed for success. (Child Health Exam form)

💉 Immunizations: Shield your child from preventable illnesses! Ensure they're up-to-date on all required immunizations, providing them with the armor they need to thrive in a safe and healthy environment.

😁 Dental Exams: A bright smile is a key to confidence! Schedule a dental examination for your child to maintain optimal oral health, ensuring their smile remains radiant throughout the school year. (Dental Form)

Remember, these exams are not just requirements; they're investments in your child's well-being and academic success. Let's team up to empower our students with the foundation they need to excel both inside and outside the classroom! 💪📚

Please visit Indian Prairie School District 204’s Health Services page for more information. If you need further assistance, please reach out to our dedicated health services team. Together, let's make this academic year a healthy and prosperous one! 🌟

Attention 7th & 8th Grade Parents of Students Planning to Participate in Sports!
