Hillcrest Connection
Edition 3 - November 2019
November is a month of reflecting on what we're thankful for. The Hillcrest community is thankful for our creative students, dedicated staff, and our supportive families.
Under the direction of our music teacher, Mrs. Worts, our students are eagerly preparing for our upcoming Holiday Concert on December 5th. Our second graders are participating in Enrichment clusters through December. First graders will begin school wide enrichment clusters in January.
Week of November 4th
Parent/Teacher Conferences were held the week of November 4th. Conferences provide a discussion forum surrounding student progress and goals in the first few months of school. Parent/Teacher conferences will be held again in April.
Week of November 11th
The Morris Education Foundation provided Hillcrest with a $3,700 grant for Flexible seating for our classrooms. Classroom teachers selected the furniture that would best meet the needs of their students. New seating options include: flexible stools, cushion seats, and ball chairs. Thank you to the Morris Education Foundation for their continued support!
