Principal’s Message: 

Parents/Guardians,

Last week I reported that HHS was well under the curve.  This week we have had a rise in cases.  If the trend continues HHS will be asked to go online by the board of health.  We are well into second quarter and I want to thank you and your students for your patience and hard work.   Doing school this way is not easy for you or for us.  Given the Governor’s directive, all school extracurricular activities have been cancelled for two weeks.  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

THANKFUL THURSDAYS

Everyone can use a little more kindness, especially during a pandemic, when everything is changed and different. So let’s share kindness and celebrate our great Hillcrest High community. Each week from now until winter break, let’s pass some thanks around. #PassingThanksAround.

Week 2 (Nov. 19-25) Thank someone who supports you.
