Last Day, No Backpacks

Dear Hillcrest Families,

As the school year comes to a close, we want to share a few important reminders to help ensure a safe and positive last week of school.

On Thursday, students will be taking all of their belongings home in their backpacks. For safety reasons, backpacks will not be allowed on campus on the last day of school.

In addition, students will not be permitted to sign shirts or clothing. Over the years, this tradition has unfortunately led to graffiti on clothing and around the school campus. Instead, some grade levels will be creating autograph books this week so students can sign and leave positive messages for one another.

Please help us make the end of the school year a great experience for everyone by reminding students to leave backpacks and Sharpies at home on the last day of school.
Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,
Hillcrest Elementary
