Principals Message: Shelter in Place Drill 

We did it! The Shelter-in-Place drill on January 25th, 2022 went well. We made some adjustments on the automated announcements, worked on doors opening after the drill and will continue to adjust as we find and discuss next steps. Thanks to Hillcrest community for keeping Huskies Strong!

Principals Message: 

Remote-Learning Day: Friday, Jan. 28-A-day

Expectations

On remote learning days students will receive instructions from their teachers. Please see the details below to work with teachers and how the work should be structured.  

• We will provide a two-hour window of support for student learning. Our schoolwide time will be from 8:30-10:30am.  Teachers will create a zoom link and provide that information to parents and students through Canvas or other skyward emails.  
• Teachers will provide work for remote Fridays that can be done at home without much direction from teachers.  The goal is to not cause undue stress on families.  
• A and B days will follow the current Canyons School District Calendar. This means if a remote Friday falls on an A day, students will work through their A day classes only and vice versa for B day remote learning days. This will allow us to stay on normal A/B day scheduling.
