May/June 2021 Hillview Happenings
Dear Hillview Families,
It is hard to believe the last two months of the 2020-2021 school year are here. As we know, it has been a very unique and challenging year. With the steadfast care and support of our staff members, district office leaders and Hillview families, we were able to continue to make the school year exciting, safe and special for all hybrid and 100% remote students.
Fortunately, we are lucky enough to be able to conclude the last couple of months at Hillview with our hybrid students in attendance at school five days a week. Throughout May and June, we will participate in memorable events and activities at school, while continuing to adhere to the guidelines that are outlined by the Centers for Disease Control, the New York State Department of Health and the Erie County Department of Health.
On behalf of the Hillview staff, I want to express how grateful we are to the Hillview PTO for the time they invested in virtual meetings and Covid-safe fundraisers. Our students are extremely fortunate to have such a supportive and caring group of parents and staff members who coordinate events and assist our school with fundraising.
Classes will be taking turns on both playgrounds now that the warmer weather is approaching us. Please ensure that your child wears sneakers to school so that he/she can safely participate in the playground fun. Students are not allowed to wear flip flops, and they will need to adhere to the school’s dress code policy as well.
We look forward to a wonderful conclusion to another school year. It was certainly a different kind of year, but our students learned so much and modeled great character. Every person in this school community, including students, staff members and family members, make Hillview such a positive and rewarding place to be, to work and to learn every day.
We wish our third grade students the best of luck as they prepare for their transition to William Street School. They will be missed very much. There will be a virtual “Fourth Grade Orientation” for all third graders on May 5th from 6-8 pm. Third graders will also take day one of the NYS math state assessment on May 6th.
Lastly, please remember to vote on May 18th in the LHS Java Gym (7 am - 9 pm). Have an enjoyable May and June and an amazing summer!
Best wishes,
Mrs. Moeller Principal
MAY/JUNE PTO NEWS
Our next general PTO Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 11th at 6:00 pm. All are welcome!Closer to the meeting date, a link for the general PTO meeting will be posted on the Hillview website and on the Hillview Facebook page.
We are eternally grateful to the Hillview teachers and staff members for their amazing work and dedication. We will honor them on May 7, 2021 with a special lunch and with small gifts. The PTO will sponsor a Delta Sonic Fundraiser that will take place from May 6th-May 20th. DeltaSonic coupons are perfect gifts for Father’s Day and graduation. We hope that you are able to support this fundraiser.
Now that we are back at school five days a week, we will go back to having one spirit day per month. Instead of a spirit week for May, we will have one spirit day on Friday, May 28th. On that day,students are encouraged to come to school dressed in their favorite Hawaiian themed clothes. Our last spirit day for the school year will take place on June 14th, which also happens to be Flag Day. Please have your child wear red, white and blue or patriotic attire in honor of Flag Day. Stay up to date with Hillview news and information by going on the Hillview website (in the “virtualbackpack”) or by following the Hillview PTO page.
HAVE A WONDERFUL AND SAFE SUMMER TO ALL OF OUR
HILLVIEW FAMILIES!
