Friday News for Families (9/7/18)

Dear Hillcrest Families,

We’re all together now!  It’s been wonderful to have all of our students here at Hillcrest this week. From our youngest preschoolers to our oldest first graders, each student brings his or her own special something to our community. Each student has been learning new routines this week, meeting new classmates and building connections with their new teachers.

Next week, we’ll hold our first Hillcrest Spirit Day on Friday, September 14th. On that day, our theme will be Sports and all Hillcrest students and staff members are invited to wear their favorite sports-related clothing item. Students are encouraged to wear sports-themed clothing such as their t-ball or soccer team jersey, a baseball tee-shirt, a football sweatshirt, etc.  This is a voluntary, fun opportunity -- please do not feel any pressure to participate and please don’t purchase any new items. (No hats, please.)

Another note about next week -- we will have our first Early Release Day for Professional Development on Wednesday, September 12th.  Our preschoolers will be dismissed at 11:30 and our kindergarten and first grade students will be dismissed at 12:00. Lunch is served to all students on Early Release Days.  

Our Hillcrest Family Handbook will be coming home with your student today.  Please take some time to review the handbook and let us know if you have questions. Thank you.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend --
Sarah Burstein, Principal
