Our school-wide theme for the month of November is Gratitude. Gratitude is the feeling of appreciation we have when we recognize all that is good in our lives. While we all face problems in our lives, making the choice to also notice what is positive in our lives can help us deal with difficult times.. This month we will learn strategies and statements to help us reflect on gratitude.

PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES

Parent-Teacher Conferences will take place Thursday, November 16th and Friday, November 17th. Both are half days of school for conferences to take place in the afternoon and evenings. Please contact your child's teacher if you have not scheduled one yet. We want to be sure that all families have the opportunity for a conference to discuss their child's progress and work in partnership for a successful school year.

FIELD TRIPS:

Due to the responsibilities and limited transportation, we cannot allow families to take their little ones, who are still at home, on any class field trips. Each location classes go on field trips to have different guidelines and it will be difficult for our teachers to be able to accept non-Hillcrest students attending these field trips. So if your student is attending a field trip and you are invited to be a chaperone, only you and the student can attend. We appreciate your understanding.

Regular attendance at school is crucial to students’ academic success. Presence in the classroom, either in person or virtually, allows students to participate in class instruction and discussion, exposing them to group interactions with teachers and other students. State law requires “continuous and consecutive” school attendance for the entire school year for children 6 to 18 years old.

If you need to pick-up your child early from school, please make sure to contact the office by 11:00a.m.! This will provide the teacher time to prepare work and gather your child's things. Work will not be given if no phone call made ahead of time to the office, your child will receive the class work the next day or when they return to school. Your child will not be released after 3:00 p.m.. if a phone call was not made before 11:00 a.m.

We appreciate your cooperation with this matter!

Hello Husky Family,

We at Hillcrest have been working hard to help our huskies grow into responsible and respectful individuals. We had shared our expectations at the beginning of the school year regarding how to utilize all areas of the building as it is not one individual utilizing the building but all staff and students as a whole. We kindly ask that you speak with your child regarding proper restroom etiquette. In order to continue maintaining restrooms in a sanatory condition, we would appreciate your support with this matter. As we get closer to colder temperatures lets work together to keep germs away. There will be consequences for those who intentionally misuse their restroom privileges. Thank you!

Hello Husky Family,
