Dear Hill Community,
Thank you all for an excellent first week at Hill School! It is wonderful to see our Dillos in classes learning again and doing their Dillo Best in all areas. Dillo Cheer!
We wanted to share our new Hill Agreement Posters that we created for our different spaces on campus. This is the language we will be using to teach your student(s), so we hope this can help a bit with alignment at home. Our assemblies have focused on different areas and expectations all week and will continue to. Thanks for your support!
Join the Hill PTA: Our Online Open House is still available! Get everything you need for the 2023-2024 school year by participating in Online Open House! In just a few minutes you can join Hill’s PTA, order birthday books and posters, and learn about the various ways we can support our school. CLICK HERE to begin!
Quick Update on Dismissal: This week, we will be working to send home a mirror tag you can hang up with your student(s) information so we can more easily dismiss our students in the car line. Write big! If you choose not to use these, we ask all families at least put a piece of paper on the dash each day with the names of your student(s), grade level, and teacher name. This will help our safety patrol and all of us to get things running even more efficiently. Thank you!
We want to give our parents/guardians a big Dillo Cheer for supporting safe arrival and dismissal practices each day. We’ll continue to give reminders and best practices these first few weeks. Here are a couple:
- The back parking lot is for staff only parking each day. Families should not park in back spaces in the bus loop.
- In our Hill Car Line, please stay in your vehicle. A staff member or safety patrol member will work to support you if you need help.
Have a fantastic week, Friends!
