Thanks to who ever did the side walk chalk to welcome us back today!!!




The wonderful sights of students smiles on the first day at Hillcrest Island!! What a great morning!!!🏝🐾



One of the big concerns for the first day is “how will students know there to go in the morning.?” We have got you covered! All students will start on the playground and when the bell rings, we will have signs and spots on the floor to help students know where to line up!



UPDATE:
The Facebook Read Aloud will now be at 7:30 pm. Looking forward to seeing everyone then!!!

Join us tomorrow night, Monday, Aug 22nd at 7 pm for the "Night Before School" Facebook Read Aloud. I am excited to read these three great books to everyone to help prepare us for school on Tuesday morning! Spread the word and see you then!

Just a reminder that the first day of school is TUESDAY, AUGUST 23rd. Hillcrest supervision begins at 7:35 am. School officially begins at 7:58 am.
