 Happy Summer!
It has been another great year at Hillcrest. Thank you to all of the parents and members of the community who have supported our many programs and educational opportunities that have enriched our learning environment.
If you are moving over the summer and your child will be attending another school in the fall, please let us know as soon as possible. If you know of someone moving into the area with children that will be attending Hillcrest, please let us know or have them come in to register their children as soon as possible. We are planning our classes for the fall and all information would help in our accuracy.
Thank you to our students, staff, parents and community members who have made this a successful academic year. We truly work best when we work together. Thank you to all our friends who volunteered their time at Hillcrest this year.
Class Placements for 2010-2011
Staffing and classroom organization discussions for next school year are well underway in our school. However, we would like you to know that changes can occur in our plans that may result in a re-organization during September. As for all students in Bluewater District School Board, placement in classes during the full month of September is considered tentative and is subject to change while the school’s final enrolment is determined. Therefore, there is potential for your child to have a change in their classroom or teacher after school begins. The changes will hopefully be completed by early October. Class lists will be available on September 7, 2010.
Thank you for your understanding and trust in our professional decisions with regard to the education of your children, our students. It is greatly appreciated.
Best Wishes, Mrs. Eckensweiler
After a successful teaching career, Mrs. Eckensweiler is taking a well earned retirement. We wish her the very best that life has to offer as she embarks on the next leg of life’s adventure.
Staffing Changes
We wish Mr. Eron Strong well as he becomes the vice-principal at Spruce Ridge in Durham, in September.
At Hillcrest in September, we will once again have two vice-principals. We welcome Mr. Adam Gelmon as the primary/junior vice-principal. Mr. Geoff Amer will take on the role of our intermediate vice-principal. We wish these gentlemen much success in their administrative careers at Hillcrest.
Have a safe, healthy and happy summer! See you in September.
Litterless Lunches
Thank you for all of your efforts to send Litterless Lunches to school with your child. Our custodian reports a 40% decrease in the amount of garbage that we are sending to the dumpsters. Hillcrest will continue to do its part to be Environmentally Friendly. Thanks for your participation.
Talk to Your Child About Their Day!
Parents often lament that when they ask their child what they did today, the answer is NOTHING. Here are suggestions for prompts that you can use with your child:
What was the best part about your day or what you are most proud of doing?
What was the most challenging part of your day?
What did you do to help someone or to make their day better?
