Attending school every day is the goal, but we know unexpected illness can keep students away from the classroom. Practice healthy habits to prevent sickness. But if your child does get sick and cannot attend school, have a plan! Your child's teacher(s) and other dedicated school staff are here to help.

Today was the LAST day of Spring Break Camp! We had so much fun! Today was Color Wars day!

We made bracelets with colored beads, painted, finished building our robot Legos. In the afternoon we made oobleck, and other colored experiments and finished the day's activities with tie dying cinch sacs!

Day 3 of Spring Break Camp: Pajama Day

Campers came dressed in their comfortable clothes and enjoyed a fun, relaxed day together. They worked on word puzzles, built beds out of Legos, enjoyed popcorn and a movie, and even got outside to play in between the rain. They also started working on their robot car kits.

Today was all about S'mores!

We had fun doing an s'more assembly relay race, melt vs not melt trivia, worked as a group to tell how to make a s'more, and painted with marshmallows!

As a bonus, with the weather being so nice, we spent extra time outside doing sidewalk chalk and eating our snack.

A special thank you to Miss Tristen for bringing in brownie s'mores bars for an extra special treat!

Tomorrow is Pajama Day!!

Hillcrest readers participated in a school-wide vocabulary parade today to celebrate March is Reading Month! Each student chose a vocabulary word to display and how they wanted to represent that word. We all enjoyed learning some new words! Ask your student what word stuck out to them today.

If you have not completed the MiStudent Voice Parent Perception Survey, you still have time!

All staff and parents can fill out the survey, and students in 5-12th grade have completed it.
The MI Student Voice Perception Survey helps schools better understand students’ experiences in school. The survey asks students and parents about their sense of engagement, belonging, and social-emotional learning so their voices can help guide school and district improvement efforts. This feedback provides a broader picture of school quality and helps inform decisions about instruction, supports, and school environments beyond academic test scores.

The Parent Survey is still open until Friday, 3/27.
