Thank You Ms. Davis!

This year we say good-bye to 4th grade teacher Krista Davis. After 27 years with AISD, 18 of which were at Hill, she is retiring. What an amazing accomplishment! We thank her for the many years she dedicated to educating the children in our community, and wish her the best with this next chapter in her life.

Garden Help Needed

Calling all green thumbs and plant lovers. Our garden is going to be a bit thirsty when school is out and we could use your help. Can you volunteer a few minutes from your morning to do a little watering? It’s low commitment, gives you a chance to commune with nature, AND you can harvest whatever catches your eye. The sign-up form is HERE.  Thank you! 

Stress-Free School Supply Shopping

Our online school supply store is officially open for the 2024-2025 school year.  Skip the trip to the store and get your teacher requested supplies delivered directly to the classroom.  Ordering couldn’t be easier.  Just go to www.sproutsupplies.com and enter school code HES003.  When you order online you are also raising funds for Hill Elementary.  Check out the Sprout School Supply flyer here and check out the school-wide supply list here.

AISD Summer Reading Options

School might be over, but reading doesn’t have to be. Learn something new, escape to far away lands, insert yourself into an adventure… all without leaving Austin (maybe not even your house). Click HERE for information (in both English and Spanish) on summer reading options and resources from AISD.

NWACA 4th of July

As you leave the classroom for the summer, remember 4 th of July is coming! Time for the NWACA Fourth of July Parade and Freedom Fest! This year, the parade route starts near Hill Elementary and ends at Anderson High School’s north parking lot. Some will be walking to the parade route, but you may want to use your bike or scooter or trike – or maybe your family will drive and park in the Anderson High School south parking lot. Or maybe you’ll get a group together to enter the float contest! Any way you go, we look forward to seeing you there!

  • 9:00 July 4 th – opening ceremonies; parade starts at the corner of Robbie Drive and Cima Serena Drive
  • 9:30 – 11:30 – Freedom Fest at Anderson High School. There will be face painting, a petting zoo, music from the Anderson High band, games, watermelon, donuts, tacos, and lots of people to enjoy the day!

Please mark your calendars! And enjoy your whole summer! 4 th of July Committee – Northwest Austin Civic Association (NWACA)
