Principal’s Message: Governors Directive

Parents/Guardians,

We are well into second quarter and I want to thank you and your students for your patients and hard work.   Doing school this way is not easy for you or for us.  Given the Governor’s directive, all school extracurricular activates have been cancelled for two weeks.  HHS has continued to keep the curve of COVID within levels not requiring us to change our schedule.  We hope our students will continue to social distance and wear masks when in the public outside of school.  Teachers are doing their best working with students who are on quarantine or isolation through Canvas (email as well).  However, if you have concerns please reach out to HHS administration.  Parents, we continue to encourage your students to engage with teachers on Fridays from 9-11a.m.  Teachers are available during this time to re-teach and answer questions on missing/current assignments.  Also, teachers will be taking attendance for any student who is online for one or more classes.  Teachers will mark a student absent on Fridays if they have not engaged with Canvas, connected with the teacher or accessed assignments.  Marking a student absent on Friday will represent the whole week of class.   As we approach the holidays, we hope your family is safe and can enjoy meaningful time together.

Principal Leavitt

Week 1 (Nov. 12-18) Thank a Teacher

Teachers are working extra hard this year to provide students with in-person and online lessons and to follow all sorts of new guidelines and procedures. Students and parents, let’s write notes or emails to our teachers to let them know how much we appreciate them. Thank you cards can be downloaded at www.utahpta.org or you can just send an email. Let’s thank our wonderful Hillcrest teachers this week.
