Hillcrest Elementary School
Virtual New Student Open House
Dear New Families, Welcome to Hillcrest! We are excited and look forward to your arrival as a new student/family. We are a family at Hillcrest! We take care of each other and love our students as if they were our own children.
Even though, things are very different; We couldn't start the school year off without some type of introduction to our new families.
We would like to lessen your “new school” worries by extending an invitation to meet your teachers- virtually. During this virtual experience you will have an opportunity to meet your teacher, Me- your Principal, Special Area Teachers and other important HCE faculty. You can also take a virtual tour.
We are looking forward to meeting you soon! It's going to be an AWESOME YEAR!!!!!

Preparing Your Home For Virtual Learning
During the initial days of school, all students in Council Rock will be taking part in virtual learning activities. Here are some tips for creating a supportive learning environment in your home:
- Consider establishing a dedicated space for learning. This should be a space that is comfortable, is free from distractions, and has an area designated for school supplies. When the school day is done, encourage your child to clean up the area to prepare the space for the next day.
- Students should consider waking up at a regular time each day, and getting dressed just as they would for school. This will help support a smoother transition if your child is returning to the hybrid model or if you child will continue with the virtual model.
- Fill a water bottle and consider preparing lunch and a healthy snack in advance.
- Teachers will be establishing daily routines with breaks throughout the day. Be sure that your child uses these breaks as a time to get away from the screen and get movement.
- Start the day with a charged device and have the charger handy with an outlet nearby. This is a great habit for this year and into the future.
- Consider purchasing inexpensive headphones with a microphone. This is helpful if you anticipate more than one child sharing a learning space in a family room, kitchen, etc.
