What a great first week of school!
Thank you for all you do to help your child be ready to explore, learn and grow, everyday!
Morning Drop Off is Looking Great!
Thank you for taking the time to review the directions for drop off...this helps everyone each morning.
-The staff parking lot near Door #1 is one-way only in the morning during drop off. If you need to stop by the office for any reason and plan to use this lot, please enter the driveway at the east end of the lot and drive west. We have bus drop off in that lot in the morning and we can't have cars coming in the lot from the west.
-Please make sure, if you are using the designated car drop off area, your child is able to independently leave the car on the curb side of the drop off. Parents should remain in their cars in this lane.
-Parents must check in at the office to be able to enter the school building. Please do not enter through any doors with your children or ask other students to open doors for you. Thank you for saying your "good-bye's" outside. This helps our students with a smooth transition into their school day and allows us to know who is in the school building.
Changes to Parent Pick Up
4th and 5th Grade FIRST Robotics Team
We also need additional parents to support this program. The team will meet on Wednesdays after school in Hillcrest's library. We have one mentor who has already committed but having another two adults would be idea. Please reach out to Faith Lincicum, flincicu@waukesha.k12.wi.us, if you are able to help out!
