Tonight is our Community Tailgate! 🎉 Join us for food, fun, and school spirit starting at 5:30 pm at the Don Miller Field! We can’t wait to see you there!

Coffee with the Principal is today at Pine Avenue.

Teachers across the district had Professional Learning today on Visible Learning with a focus on students driving their own learning. This theme will continue throughout the year.





Our third graders had a wonderful and unique experience at the Lake Michigan shore today! On the return trip, one of the charter buses experienced a breakdown. Transportation adjustments have been made, and students are safely on their way back. Estimated arrival at Hillcrest is 7:00 PM. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hillcrest and Pine Avenue students will have a late start day tomorrow.

Each week, we share important updates, upcoming events, and highlights from around the school—all in one easy-to-read newsletter. You’ll find tips for supporting your child’s learning, reminders about school procedures, and celebrations of student success.
It’s a great way to stay informed, stay involved, and stay inspired. We’re proud of the partnership we share with our families, and this newsletter is one more way we keep that connection strong.
