Due to a new district policy, the east side doors are not to be used as an entrance. All students, visitors, and deliveries must enter on the west side of the building through the main office doors. The buzzer no longer functions. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Students, as the weather warms up, please be aware that the dress code still applies. Students out of dress code will be asked to go to the Attendance office. They will be given the option to change into a Hillcrest T-shirt (or shorts if applicable) or they may call home for an exchange of clothing. Students will not be permitted to return to class unless they are appropriately dressed.

Digital Citizenship
How to Help Kids Spot Misinformation and Disinformation
Much news media and social media content is designed to grab our attention and keep us engaged. And whether we’re getting our news from a TV network, TikTok, or YouTube, it can be hard to tell what’s accurate these days. Knowing that the news we consume can be biased, misreported, or even fake, it’s crucial that all of us—especially young people—learn to decode the information we encounter. Visit https://cnyns.org/3ZrCTSFLinks to an external site. for more tips to help kids identify misinformation and disinformation.
PTSA
Our next general membership meeting will be April 2nd at 1 pm.
Our annual grad night party is coming! May 29th 10pm-4am at Dimple Dell Rec Center.
