Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are writing to inform you about some upcoming changes to the Hillcrest School District schedule for the 2024-2025 school year. First, to give our teachers dedicated time for Professional Learning Community activities, we are introducing a Late Start policy on Mondays throughout the school year. This will allow our staff to meet, plan, and discuss strategies to improve instructional methods and practices. As a result, instruction time for students will begin at 8:20AM on Mondays, giving teachers ample time to collaborate.
AGAIN, School will begin at 8:20AM each Monday morning, starting THIS MONDAY morning, August 5th..
Buses:
Buses will run as normal for those needing transportation. Bus pickup times will remain the same. Students arriving by bus will be supervised by staff until classes begin at 8:20AM.
Car Riders:
Drop-off Time and Drop-off Location will remain the same. If needed, you can drop off your children anytime between 7:30AM and 8:20AM, as staff will be available to monitor students.
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: can eat breakfast in the cafeteria or report directly to the gymnasium.
ELEMENTARY STUDENTS: ALL ELEMENTARY students will report to the cafeteria as they arrive on campus, before going to the gym.
We understand that schedule changes can affect family routines, and we appreciate your understanding and support. If you have any questions or need more information, please don't hesitate to contact your school's administrative office.
