Construction Update #1
Hillcrest STEAM Academy Families,
In April 2020, Belton residents voted and passed a no-tax increase bond issue that will give several of the schools in our district safe and secure entrances. The bond will also provide other improvements across the district, but the safe and secure entrance piece is why we’re including some information in our February Newsletter.
As you may know, all guests to Hillcrest have to press a button on our call box at the front doors before being admitted to the building. In order for construction to begin on our safe and secure entrance, that call box will be moved. We anticipate the call box being moved in the next few days.
We will send an email to all families when the call box is officially moved. The email will contain more specific information related to the procedures when you need to drop off or pick up someone or something from the office.
Wishing you well,
Dr. Pearson - Principal
Dr. Winkelmann - Assistant Principal
