A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO OUR PTO and staff that donated prizes to our Mystery Motivator inventory throughout the year. :) It really made for a PAWESOME SCHOOL YEAR!!!!

ELEMENTARY REGISTRATION, JUNE 1 DEADLINE FOR ASSURED PLACEMENT IN HOME SCHOOL

June 1 is a very important date for our district. June 1 is the date we use to finalize all sections and then assign staff based on those sections. It is imperative that parents enroll students by this date so students can be counted in enrollment and be assured of attending their home school. It is also important that parents let us know formally that they are moving and will not be attending HCE next year. Again, all the numbers drive the number of sections we will have at each grade level and the teacher assignments that follow. If you know parents who want to enroll, reach out now. If you are moving, please call the office at (215) 944-1600. Thanks for your help with this!!!


Online Registration: The Council Rock School District utilizes a secure online portal for a parent(s) to enroll their child(ren). Please ensure you have all required documents ready before starting the enrollment process below. The application functions best in the Chrome browser on a desktop or laptop.


Your child is NOT registered until all documents have been received, reviewed by central registration, and the final registration document has been signed by the parent.

Message from the Hillcrest Library:


The school year of 2023 is coming to an end;

as the last day of school is around the bend.

We’re nearing our last book checkout, so that is a bummer

All books must come back before it is summer!

Search high and low to find every book;

By the couch, near the bed are good places to look.

Please return all your books, but have no fear;

The books will be ready in our library next year!

Safety Reminder for Visitors

As we continue to review and tweak our safety protocols we wanted to send a friendly reminder to visitors regarding procedures when entering the building. If you are entering the building for whatever reason; please DO NOT open the door or hold the door for another visitor.


We have important safety protocol that our office staff follows when visitors enter our building. This includes vetting those that enter the building. While we understand that this is a KIND gesture, when visitors open the door or hold the door for others entering the building; this does not allow HCE staff to follow through with the safety protocol that we have in place.


Thank you for your cooperation on this matter!
