Dear Hillcrest Families,

When we return from this holiday weekend, we will have just ten more days of school!  While we will not end the year with the traditional events like Field Day, each classroom is planning a small event to celebrate a year of learning and to mark the start of the summer.  These events will be limited to each classroom group and will take place during the final full week of school. 

Some important news items for the week: 

  • As long as the weather cooperates, our final Story Walk of the year will take place along the bike path across from Unity Park tomorrow from 9:00 - 3:00.  If you’re playing at the park, I hope you’ll take the trip across the street to enjoy Over and Under the Pond by Kate Messner. 

  • We expect to receive school pictures during the week of June 7th.  As soon as they arrive here at school, we will send them home in your child’s backpack.  If your child is a remote-only student, Mrs. Prokowich will give you a call so that you can make arrangements to pick up your photos. 

  • For our Remote-Only Students, the last day of online instruction is different than the last day of school  for In-Person Students:

    • Remote-Only Preschool -- Tuesday, June 8th

    • Remote-Only Kindergarten -- Wednesday, June 9th

    • Remote-Only First Grade -- Wednesday, June 9th

  • Don’t forget! The Friends of Hillcrest online store at Silver Screen Design is now “live” and ready to accept your orders for fun Hillcrest gear!  Check out the store link and you’ll find Hillcrest t-shirts, sweatshirts and hats for children and adults.  A portion of each sale will go to Friends of Hillcrest. Here’s the link:  https://cart.silverscreendesign.com/hillcrest_elementary/shop/home
