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.

Please, have your student bring their Chromebook charged and ready to go. School will run as usual. Keep in mind that ASPIRE testing is a state test that measures students’ progress and postsecondary readiness. It will also provide predictive ACT scores to help both students and educators understand areas for improvement before taking the ACT.
