Hillcrest Updates

  • We had lots of fun at Field Day on Wednesday!  A GIANT thank you goes out to our P.E. teacher, Mrs. Tyler, for organizing this very special event.  Additional “thank yous” go out to the many parent volunteers who assisted with set-up, supervision and clean-up.  

  • I hope you’ve had a chance to check out the Summer Learning Totes that were sent home on Tuesday.  These collections of books were differentiated for each grade level and they include a non-fiction text, a dual language text, a math-focused text,  and a text focused on health and well-being. In addition, you will find a list of fun math activities and a reading log.  All students who complete and return their reading log at the start of next school year will receive a new book! 

  • Nurse Jazmin has important reminders for families about medication and updated medical information. This letter was sent home in backpacks earlier this week and you can also read it here

  • Preschool families are invited to attend a short presentation by our preschool students on Wednesday, June 12th at 9:30. The preschoolers have a special song to sing and some delicious watermelon to share. 

  • We have a full day of school on Monday, June 10th.  Our final three days of school – June 11th, 12th and 13th - are all Early Release Days.  All Preschoolers will be dismissed at 11:30 and kindergarten and first grade students will be dismissed at 12:00.
