Picking up Student Belongings
Hillsdale will be open the week after school ends for the purpose of returning personal belongings and retrieving school resources. We are NOT collecting ipads at this time. Students who borrowed them for remote learning, may keep them over the summer.
Teachers and custodians have placed student personal belongings in bags with their nametags. When you arrive at the school you will be directed on how to proceed. At Stop #1 you will return anything. Staff will be outside to radio into the school and when you reach the front of the school (Stop #2), your bag(s) will be brought to your car. Please see the attached picture below. This will be done like curbside pick-up. There is no need for you or your children to get out of the car.
Please have a clearly printed sign with your Last Name first and then your children’s names listed in your front window. We have a few families with the same last name..
· Families with last names beginning with
- A - D Tuesday, June 9th, 9:00am – 12:00pm
- E – L Tuesday, June 9th 1:00 – 4:00pm
- M - R Wednesday, June 10th, 9:00am – 12:00pm
- S – Z Wednesday, June 10th, 1:00 – 4:00pm
Due to time constraints for building cleanup, if you do not come on one of these days and we do not hear from you, the items from the desk will be thrown away on Friday June 12th.
Instruments that you rented - need to be dropped off at the store from which you rented them.
Things to return to School:
· - Instruments that you borrowed from the school - Make sure your name is on it! (This does not include 3rd grade recorders--those are yours and should not be returned).
· - Library Books
· - Safety Belts - 5th graders
· - Anything you borrowed from a classroom--books from a teacher, etc. Please label with a sticky note which teacher they belong to.
Thank YOU for making me feel so welcomed as part of the Hillsdale community this year. I have loved every minute of it. Thank YOU for all you are doing at home right now to continue to support and teach your child while we cannot be in the school building!
