Principal's Update
Your children continue to impress the Hilton staff with their effort and dedication to their learning. Kids have a way of rising to the occasion, and they have certainly done so this year, despite all the challenges and changes to the life they knew before COVID. Their growth and maturity have contributed significantly to the great classroom environments at Hilton.
Career Day Dress Up - We had doctors and nurses, athletes and first responders! We even had a kindergarten paleontologist! Thank you to our PTO and all the adults who shared their videos with the children. They really enjoyed hearing about your profession.
Kindergarten Round-Up - If you or anyone you know have children starting JK or Kindergarten next year, registration opens on February 1st. It's always a challenge to reach families that don't have children in the system, as we don't have means to notify them. Please share this information so we can get everyone registered as soon as possible. All the information is available on the district website. More details, including the link to the website can be found further down in this newsletter.
Have a great weekend,
Jeff Eisele
Hilton Principal

Counselor Corner!
Happy New Year from your Elementary Counselor, Mrs. Fox! I hope you had a well rested, and memory filled, time with your loved ones. For the month of January we are taking time to further acknowledge and support that extra added stress this crazy year has brought us. We are diving into mindfulness, yoga, and other practices, that treat the mind, body, and soul. The goal of these lessons is to promote self-regulation and self-reflection in our young learners, as well as to practice a sense of peace and calm during our days.
Lets Connect: If you are noticing some behaviors that are interfering with your child’s success in the classroom, please feel free to complete my parent referral form and we can work together to determine if supports are needed at school.
More Resources: The Elementary Counseling Team also has the BAS Elementary Counseling website for ideas and resources to be used at home!
