November Newsletter
Good Afternoon Hillcrest Families and Friends, October was a busy month for Hillcrest Hornets and we are excited to transition to November where we are highlighting “gratitude” as a focus for our students and staff. We have so much to be grateful for, and your children are at the top of the list.
INCLEMENT WEATHER AND INDOOR RECESS! Recess is an important time for our students to participate in physical movement and take a break from the day. That being said, we provide an indoor recess when the weather outside includes:
Please make sure that students are well prepared for cold weather and have coats, gloves, hats and boots so that they are able to be warm and comfortable when outside on some of our colder days.

Community Flyers While you receive all school based flyers and communication on Wednesdays, you can access our community flyers anytime by visiting our school website here.
Attendance Incentives For the next three weeks, we will be running several attendance incentives to help provide an extra motivator for our students to be here everyday. Weekly individual incentives: Each week we will randomly select one primary and one intermediate student who had perfect attendance for the week. This week, they will get to be “Principal for an hour” with Mr. Peterson or Mrs. Fiorenza. Best class: The primary class and intermediate class with the best attendance for the whole period will earn an extra recess with Mr. Peterson and Mrs. Fiorenza!
Upcoming Dates:
As always, we are grateful for you and your partnership. If you have any questions, concerns, feedback or compliments, please feel free to reach out directly to me.
Sincerely, Erika Fiorenza Principal, Hillcrest Elementary |
