Dear Hillcrest Families and Community,

On behalf of our entire staff, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our PTO and the Hillcrest community for making Staff Appreciation Week so special. Your thoughtful gifts, generous donations, kind notes, and continuous support truly meant so much to each and every one of us.

The kindness and appreciation shown throughout the week reminded us how fortunate we are to be part of such a caring and supportive community. Your efforts did not go unnoticed and lifted the spirits of our staff in meaningful ways.

We are incredibly grateful for all that you do to support our school and the people within it. Thank you for helping make Hillcrest such a wonderful place to learn and grow.

With sincere appreciation,
Hillcrest Staff

This is a friendly reminder that all items in the Lost & Found will be collected on Wednesday. If your child is missing any belongings, please encourage them to check the Lost & Found before then.

Any unclaimed items after Wednesday will be removed.

Thank you for your help!

Being on time = More learning, less catching up!

Let's keep the day running smoothly and start on schedule. 🚀📝
#BeOnTime #ReadyToLearn 🎒✨

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Attendance plays a vital role in supporting all students as they succeed in their educational pathways. We kindly ask for your support in ensuring your child arrives on time each day.

Please note that the first bell rings at 8:35 AM, signaling students to head directly to their classrooms. This gives them five minutes to be seated and ready to learn.

Students must be in their classroom and seated at their desk by 8:45 AM. If a student is not in the classroom at that time (for example, if they are still at their locker or in the hallway), they will be marked tardy.

While the front doors remain open until 8:50 AM, this does not mean students are considered on time unless they are already in class.

Teachers are required to keep accurate attendance records and must record tardies accordingly. These last few months of school are especially important, with assessments approaching, and every minute of instruction matters.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support in helping your child succeed.

Stay Informed with the CSD App

The Crestwood School District (CSD) App is one of the fastest and most convenient ways for families to stay informed about what is happening in our schools. The district and individual schools use the app to share important updates, school news, events, and weather-related school closures, so it is important that all families download the app and keep it up to date.

If you do not already have the app, we encourage you to download the CSD App on your phone to receive notifications and stay connected to district and school information. The app allows you to follow specific schools and easily find news, events, and resources.

If you already have the app but are not receiving notifications, you may need to delete the app and re-download it to ensure it is updated properly. This simple step can help restore notifications so you do not miss important time sensitive announcements.

Staying informed helps families stay prepared. Be sure to download or update the CSD App so you can receive timely information and updates from the district. Click here for more information on our app: https://www.csdmi.org/o/csd/page/download-our-app.

Dear Parents,

I hope everyone is doing well! 💛 We had a bit of a challenging pick-up lately at Hillcrest, so I’d like to remind everyone of a few important guidelines to help keep things safe and smooth for all families:

🚫 Please do not park or drive on the opposite side of Vernon during pick-up.
♿ Handicap spaces are reserved for vehicles with valid handicap permits only.
🏠 Please avoid blocking driveways or parking in front of homes on Vernon.

Your cooperation helps keep our community safe and respectful 🙏. Thank you so much for your understanding and support!

COLD WEATHER GEAR

It is important that your child is prepared with recess gear to match the weather as we go outside for recess twice a day as temperatures permit.

• Closed shoes or boots are required to play on the grass or playground.

• Labeling your child’s gear with first and last names can help us return any lost items.

Students will go outside for recess when the temperature is 20 degrees or above, including windchill. Please be sure your child is dressed appropriately for outdoor play.

If your child has a fever, please keep them home. Students must be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school. If your child vomits, they must remain home for 24 hours.

Keeping children home when they are sick helps prevent the spread of illness to others. Thank you for helping us keep everyone healthy!
