Principal's Message
We had a wonderful first full week of school. It has been great to see and meet all of our students and hear about their summer!
As principal, it is my goal to make this one of the best years for your children. In order for this to happen, I need your help. I wholeheartedly believe that it is essential that the staff members and families of Hillcrest students work together to provide what is best for your child emotionally, physically, socially, and academically.
To assist us in making this an amazing year, I ask that you communicate with us. If you ever have a question or concern about your child, please contact us at school or on ClassDojo. We all have the same goal- we both want your child to reach their highest potential while maintaining a safe environment for them while they are at school. We can accomplish this by working as a team.
I am completely honored to serve you and your children as principal of Hillcrest. Please contact me if ever I can assist you in any way
Dr. Laura Quintana, Principal
