Parent-Teacher Conferences:
Dear Families of Hillcrest High Students,
Parent-Teacher conferences are once again upon us. They will be held September 20th (from 3:30-7:30 p.m.) and September 21st (from 3:30-7:00). We will be holding our Parent-Teacher Conferences split this year. September 20th will be an in-person parent teacher conference and September 21st will be virtual using Zoom. On September 21st, In order to serve families more effectively, we have chosen not to have a strict schedule for our virtual meetings. Instead, teachers will be available in their Zoom meetings for the entirety of the conference, allowing families to join in at their leisure. If the teachers are in a meeting with another family, you will be placed in a virtual “waiting room”. Zoom does not have an option to let you know where you are “in line” in the waiting room, but our intention is for meetings to last no more than 5 minutes. As such, you should not be in a “waiting room” too long. If a teacher has not yet started the Zoom meeting, you will see “Waiting for the host to start this meeting.” If a teacher is with another family, you will see “Please wait, the meeting host will let you in soon.”
Parent teacher conference are:
September 20th, 3:30-7:30 p.m. (In-person)
September 21st, , 3:30-7:00 p.m.(Virtual Zoom)

Tiktok Issues:
Currently, there is an internet challenge called “Devious Licks” where students are stealing school property and damaging school property. We have had property damaged at Hillcrest High and we suspect this is because of this internet challenge. Parents please have a conversation with your students about this. We are hoping this discontinues asap.
Superintendent Listening Tour: CSD Superintendent Welcomes Questions, Feedback at Districtwide Listening Tour
Have a question about Canyons School District? Suggestions, concerns or compliments? Or maybe, after the months of social distancing that coincided with Dr. Rick Robins’ first year as CSD’s Superintendent, you’d like to meet him in person. Coming soon to a middle school near you: community members will have a chance to do just that as Dr. Robins travels the District for his inaugural Superintendent’s Listening Tour. The Town Hall-style events will run from 6:30-8 p.m. and take place at the following locations. Questions and comments can be submitted in advance or during the events at canyonsdistrict.org/voice. Just choose the “Superintendent’s Listening Tour” location from the dropdown list found on the submission form. Spanish-speaking interpreters will be available at the Indian Hills, Midvale Middle and Eastmont Middle events.

El superintendente de CSD da la bienvenida a preguntas y comentarios en la gira de escuchar a todos en el distrito
¿Tiene una pregunta sobre el Distrito Escolar Canyons? ¿Sugerencias, inquietudes o cumplidos? O tal vez, después de los meses de distanciamiento social que coincidieron con el primer año del Dr. Rick Robins como Superintendente del CSD, le gustaría conocerlo en persona. Próximamente en una escuela intermedia cercana a usted: los miembros de la comunidad tendrán la oportunidad de hacer precisamente eso mientras el Dr. Robins viaja por el distrito para su gira inaugural de audición del superintendente. Los eventos al estilo del Ayuntamiento se llevarán a cabo de 6: 30 a 8 p.m. y tomaran lugar en los siguientes lugares. Las preguntas y los comentarios se pueden enviar por adelantado o durante los eventos en canyonsdistrict.org/voice. Simplemente elija “Gira de audición del superintendente” de la lista desplegable que se encuentra en el formulario de envío. Habrá intérpretes de habla hispana disponibles en los eventos de Indian Hills, Midvale Middle y Eastmont Middle.
