Dear Hillcrest Families,
As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to wish you all a very happy holiday! I hope you enjoy a wonderful break filled with time spent with family, friends, and loved ones. Please remember to stay warm and cherish the memories you create together during this special time.
When we return in January, we will be placing a strong emphasis on students keeping their hands to themselves. While our disciplinary issues at Hillcrest are not extreme, we have noticed some minor physical aggression among students. We kindly ask that you speak with your child about this matter. Together, we can set behavioral goals to ensure a positive environment for everyone.
Additionally, I encourage you to discuss with your child some strategies they can use when they become upset. Remind them that using words is far stronger than hitting or kicking. Teaching them to express their feelings verbally can lead to healthier interactions with their peers.
Thank you for your continued support, and I wish you a peaceful and joyful holiday season!
Warm regards,
Cami Tapscott
