Hillcrest Connection
Edition 1 - September 2019
September was an exciting month at Hillcrest. We welcomed new and returning students back to the halls of Hillcrest. We are excited for the months ahead as we continue our educational journey!

The first two days went seamlessly as our students acclimated themselves to new classrooms and routines. We are looking forward to a full week to continue the learning and fun at Hillcrest!
Please remember to send in a note if your child will be a pick-up from school. Any changes to your child's dismissal procedure should be made prior to 1:30 pm to ensure your child's teacher is notified. Please call the Main Office directly with these changes rather than emailing your child's teacher. Calls after 1:30 should be for reserved for emergency pick-up arrangements. Thank you for your help with ensuring a safe and organized dismissal system.
