Dear Hill Community,
It is Book Fair Week! Join us for Book Fair Family Night this Thursday, February 1st from 5-8pm. This is always a fun outing for families and will be a great chance to shop at the fair. We will have food available for purchase from Stony’s Pizza and DonutsNV. E-Wallet is available this year. Simply purchase a Gift Card here. The volunteers running the Book Fair will have access to all the Gift Cards codes. This allows your student to shop the fair without keeping track of cash. At the end of the fair, if you have unused funds, simply contact Literati for a refund. We hope to see you at the fair this week!

Traffic Safety Reminder: As we are into the spring semester, we want to give everyone a reminder of how crucial it is that we all exercise safety during our arrival and dismissal times. You can click here for an important message from Safe Routes to School on the Stay Safe Austin initiative that aims to remind us all of best practices and traffic laws we need to follow. Thank you Safe Routes for partnering with us! Thank you, Hill families, for doing your part to create safe routes to school at Hill Elementary. We appreciate everyone taking the time to review the flier.
We wanted to again share our Hill Agreement Posters that we created for our different spaces on campus. This is the language we use to guide your student(s) in the different areas on campus. We highly recommend using some of the common language like “attentive listening” and “mutual respect” to help align school with home. Dillo Cheer for your support of our Hill Agreements!

Doh, there’s a glitch in the matrix. The wrong gift card link was in that last communication. Even Dillos make mistakes sometimes. If you would like to purchase a gift card for your student to use at Book Fair THIS is the correct link to do so.
