Staff Update
March 29, 2019
National School of Character Update
The visit will consist of interviews with three groups: 1.) Parents, 2.) Students, and 3.) Teachers/Staff. These interviews will take place from 10:00am - 11:45am in the conference room. We are very excited to share the story of Hillcrest STEAM Academy.
Calendar Update
The following blurb was emailed to all families on Tuesday, March 26. Please help me in sharing this with your families.
Hillcrest STEAM Families,
In the past, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has required us to have a day off between the end of the regular school year and our additional 20 days. We recently received word that provision has been removed, which allows us to have school on that day. This makes our tentative last day June 27, 2019. Therefore, please mark your calendars with the following revisions:
May 31 - Hillcrest STEAM Academy is in session
June 27 - Tentative last day of school. We will have Early Release at 1:41 pm.
We continue to say tentative until mid-April because of unpredictability in Missouri weather. Please contact the office if you have any questions. Thank you for supporting Hillcrest STEAM Academy.
Sincerely,
Dr. Winkelmann
