POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTIONS and SUPPORTS (PBIS)

What is PBIS?

An approach Hillcrest is using to promote school safety and good behavior. Through PBIS, we teach kids about behavior expectations and strategies. Some PBIS school-wide events: earning Classdojo points, exchanging points for prizes at our Husky Store, special student assemblies, field day, and other fun ways to celebrate.


PBIS is based on 3 Tiers of Support (Universal Prevention/Targeted Prevention/Intensive Prevention)


We are currently recruiting 1 parent to be part of our PBIS Committee. Committee meets 1 X month 2:50 - 3:50pm


If interested, please send us an email with your name and phone number.

Spotlight on: Ms. Lisette Montero

Meet our phenomenal Office Manager. She is the reason the Hillcrest Elementary school office operates smoothly. Ms. Montero cheerfully greets everyone who comes into the office and quickly finds ways to help all parents, students, and staff. Some of her super powers are: organization, communication, creativity, and goal-setting. Ms. Montero has been at Hillcrest for 3 years.

Principal's Message

We had a lively Back to School Night and Coffee with the Principal. Thank you to all parents and guardians who attended our events. Hillcrest students are thriving academically and enjoying music class. This Friday, students will meet our ASB candidates, hear their speeches, and participate in local government. By nurturing the qualities in leaders, we are helping all of our students grow into tomorrow's leaders.
