November 2020
Dear Hillview Parents/Guardians,
Now that we have settled into the first two months of school, everyone here at Hillview hopes that all of our students have adjusted nicely to their hybrid instructional model or to their all remote instructional model. At school, we appreciate our strong home/school connection and all of the support that parents and guardians are providing their children on synchronous and asynchronous days. Whether they are learning to read or reading to learn, reading with your child on a daily basis is also encouraged to promote their love of reading and to help make them more confident, independent readers.
Hillview will celebrate our first blue kindness shirt day on Thursday, November 5th and Friday, November 6th. The PTO kindly purchases these shirts every year for our kindergartners and for our students who are new to Hillview. The blue shirts might have a llama or a watering can on the front, but both designs were created by Hillview students. When we wear them, we proudly share our commitment to being kind, compassionate, helpful and caring friends to others at school, at home and on the bus.
Our PTO already started to organize our annual Veterans Day display, “Hillview’s Hallway of Heroes,” in our main hallway. With family photographs, we will remember our United States veterans and all they sacrifice and/or have sacrificed for our country during the month of November. At the school, and with the help of PTO volunteers, we will proudly celebrate the veterans we know and love.
Just a reminder: parent-teacher conferences will take place on December 3rd and 4th. Our teachers look forward to meeting virtually with all of our parents and guardians. The Scholastic Fall Book Fair has been postponed, but hopefully will be able to take place in the spring. On behalf of Hillview, we wish all of our families a Happy Thanksgiving and a peaceful and prosperous November.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Moeller
Principal
