Please do not park on Tallwood Drive between Cima Serena and the Hill driveway entrance during arrival and dismissal times.  There are many posted City of Austin No Parking signs in this area, as well as on Cima Serena.  This curbside area is reserved for the car line at the posted times.  A parked car stops the car line because cars around the corner can not see that they are being blocked by a parked car.  This is very disruptive to the arrival/dismissal process.  Thanks so much for following the rules that keep traffic moving and keep our kids safe!

We will be completing our mandatory spring lockdown drill this Thursday at 1:30. While this is a drill, a real lockdown is used for an intruder or violence on campus. Staff will instruct students on proper completion of the drill and a PA announcement will be made to calmly explain to students that it is taking place. Administrators and office staff will check to ensure proper completion of the drill. We expect it to last no longer than 3 minutes or so.

Spring individual pictures are back, and they look great! If you would like to purchase, here’s how it works:

Parent may purchase entire package or create your own combination of whole sheets.

How to pay:

Return payment envelope and non-purchased portrait sheets in original envelope and return to your student’s teacher.

All sales benefit our school directly as Hill receives a portion of every purchase. Please call the office if you have any questions.
