Arrival and Dismissal
We want to ensure that your child always receives the correct mode of transportation. In order to accommodate any changes that may be made to your child’s transportation for that day, we ask that you notify us before 3:30 so that we can relay the information on to your child’s teacher. You can email us at hillcrest@bsd124.org or send a handwritten note to school with your student.
Student safety is of utmost importance to us! In order to ensure student safety, any person entering the school must sign in and out at the office. This would include our arrival and dismissal times. If a school personnel member notices that you do not have the yellow sticker, they will ask you to go back and check in at the office. Please do not allow others to follow you in the building after you have been allowed entrance. We need to make sure each person uses the Aiphone system for security purposes. School doors do not open until 8:50. Any student here before that time is unsupervised.
