Staff Update
October 12, 2018
PD Padlet
Attached is the PD Padlet you all filled out at the end of last year. We wanted to make sure to resend this as we have many new staff members and you might have thought of different things you want to learn within PD. We do use this to plan our PD, so please make sure you list items you want to learn as well as any areas you feel confident in sharing with others.
Conference Expectations
We know that parent/teacher conferences go very quickly. Below is a list of expected items for you to discuss during conferences.
Grades - you can choose to print these off or show the parents their child’s Mastery Connect online and ensure they are signed up to view the parent portal.
STAR - We know you have sent home the parent report, but you may want to reprint this to make sure every parent has and understands the information. The diagnostic report for each student is also a good report to show parents to help them understand the assessment.
Encourage parents to download the Belton Schools App which has the Hillcrest public calendar and current lunch menus and much more. Parents are able to follow our school so they get alerts specific to Hillcrest from the app.
As soon as your schedule is complete, please print off a copy and turn it into Linda in the office.
Food for Conferences
Wednesday night
PTA will be providing supper
Thursday
Lunch starting at 11:30 - Potato Bar

Office Calendar
Please note that all school events are on the HES Office Calendar. Linda shared this with everyone at the beginning of the school year. If you do not have this, contact Linda as it is an expectation for everyone to use this calendar. This should be checked daily as it has the most accurate and up to date information.
