We are so fortunate to have the CMU STEM experience in our school today! Paid for by the PTO, each class will get to have a hands on field trip at school!! This is a GREAT opportunity for our students!!!




It is going to be COLD this week! Please make sure students are bundled up!!! If “feels like” temps are 0 degrees or below, we will have recess indoors.

We also encourage students to mask as we return from a high exposure holiday period.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to keep kids in school.

We are so excited to start the new year and see everyone back at Hillcrest Space Station tomorrow morning! Make sure to bundle up and bring back boots, hats, gloves, and snow pants! These are the parameters we use for the cold temperatures and outside recess.

Here is this week's edition of Hillcrest Space Station Happenings-December 17!
https://www.smore.com/new56
As we continue to update you regarding the safety protocols in our schools, we wanted to be sure that you all are aware of a “challenge” that is currently being led by the social media platform, Tik Tok. This evening we learned of a nation-wide challenge on Tik Tok, encouraging users to make threats of violence against their schools on Friday, December 17th.
Once again, we are asking for your help as parents/guardians. Please talk to your children about this type of social media challenge and encourage them to speak out against it. Remind your students of the consequences of this behavior. Sometimes our students do not realize the serious consequences or threats to the safety of our schools and community until it is too late.
There have been no threats specific to APS. This is informational only.
