5 Essentials Survey
5 Essentials Survey
Parents across Illinois will have an opportunity to participate in the statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of the inner workings of your child’s school. As a parent, this opportunity will allow you to share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness in a survey specifically designed for Hilltop.
The 5Essentials results are displayed on the Illinois Report Card. Please use the following link to participate in the 5Essential survey: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/
Thanks for your continued support!
Veteran’s Day – November 11th (School In-Session)
We wanted to take a moment to honor those who have given their time, talents, and courage to serve in our Armed Forces. Their desire to serve country over self, is a true testiment of courage and love for what our flag represents. Thank you to those men and women that are currently serving or have served! Our respect and gratitude goes out to you on this day of recognition!
Colder Weather has Arrived!
Please remember with colder temperatures that it is important your child dresses for the weather. Please make sure your child brings a jacket, hat and gloves each day! If your child wants to play in the snow during recess, please make sure they bring snow pants and boots to school. Students are not allowed to play in the snow without their jackets, hats, gloves, boots and snow pants. Please also help us to reinforce that students are not allowed to throw snow! We want our Hawks to have fun and stay safe during the winter months! Your help and support is always appreciated!
Every Minute Counts!
We have been noticing an increase of tardies at school the last few weeks and we need your help to decrease those occurrences! As you know, each day student’s learn skills that they will continue to build upon over the course of their school career. Students who are excessively absent or tardy tend to develop holes in their learning because they have missed essential pieces of instruction along the way. This can cause students to struggle academically during their school career. Please help us to ensure all our students have equal access to their education by making sure they are at school on-time and ready to learn by 8:00am.
Dine & Share at Chipotle
Our next Dine and Share event will be at Chipolte (4600 Hoffman Blvd., Hoffman Estates) on Saturday, November 16th. This event will be from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm and 33% of the proceeds come to Hilltop! So please let your family, neighbors and friends know about this easy way to earn more money for Hilltop.
Report Card Reminder
The first trimester ended today. Elementary Report Cards will be online this school year (printed copies available upon parent request). The report cards will be made available for parents to view on November 18th.
