SAVE THE DATE!  “BINGO for BOOKS!” September 19, 5:00-7:00 pm

Free and Reduced Benefits - to help your family and Hillcrest!

Every year, we ask our families to complete an application to receive free and reduced benefits which gives families reduced school fees and opportunities for additional resources.  Additionally, our school benefits by receiving funding to enhance the experience for all students. To find more information as well as the application, visit adams12.org/free-reduced-benefits

 

Blueprint Funding Proposals

Through the Blueprint funding measures that are on this November’s ballot, every school in the district would receive facility repairs or updates, and investments in staffing and programming. Some items our school would receive include:

• Add air conditioning in our gymnasium
• Replace aging playground equipment
• Upgrades to safety and security measures including door sensors on exterior doors and replacement of door locks

Visit the Virtual Map to see what else our school would receive at adams12.org/funding-proposals

 

Voter Registration

The district has two funding measures on this November’s ballot. One is a bond to invest in our building, and the other is a mill levy override to invest in operations such as staffing and academic programming.
