👋Hello Parents,
We’ve been focusing on school expectations with our students these first few weeks 📚, and we could really use your support at home! 🏠💬

Many students are working hard to follow the rules ✅ and make the most of their playtime, whether it’s lunch recess 🍎 or class recess 🛝.

Please take a few minutes to chat with your child about our school expectations and recess rules 🙏. Together, we can help them grow in the right direction 🌱✨.

We’re encouraging all students to:
🤝 Be supportive
👂 Listen to their peers
💖 Show respect to others
👀 Pay attention to the adults supervising them

Thank you for partnering with us to help create a safe, respectful, and fun environment for everyone! 😊

We want to reassure families that if your child currently receives speech services at our school, those services will continue without interruption. While there is a staff change happening within our team, student support remains a priority, and services will be maintained through the district. Please note that details about staff transitions are confidential, and we appreciate your understanding.

Being on time = More learning, less catching up!

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

REMINDER THE DENTIST WILL BE VISITING THIS WEEK!

Hillcrest Family,

If your child brings lunch from home but would also like a school lunch, they are welcome to get a tray!

They simply need to choose “school lunch” during the classroom lunch count and then get in the lunch line at school.

Thank you!

Mrs. Saad visited every classroom this week 🏫 to review our School Expectations with students 📋. As a follow-up, students were given a homework assignment 📝 to take home the School Expectation Matrix and review it with their parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. This collaborative effort is all about teamwork 🤝 and helping our Huskies grow in the right direction 🐾🌟!
