We are very excited to present Screenagers the Movie. Its a film about the trends and impact of screen use with pre-teens and teenagers. Hillcrest Families are encouraged to attend with Children in 5th Grade and older. It will be followed by a 30 minute discussion led by Tatiana Ramos from Classroom Matters in Berkeley. The discussion will focus on how screens are impacting all of us. Hope to see you there! The screening will be on Thursday October 20 at 6pm in the Hillcrest Multi Purpose Room. Please purchase tickets here for $10 per Family! Watch the Trailer.

Principal Segura is interested in hearing from parents via this survey. In partnership with staff from the district, trends from the survey will be identified and will provide guidance on matters that parents feel are important. Thank you so much for filling out this survey, your input is appreciated.

The Lake Run Schedule is now available. Lake Runs for the First Grade will start after the winter break.

Annual school photos are coming up! Please mark your calendars and have your children dressed and ready for their photo day! Each year we are in need of 2 parent volunteers per day (8:30 – 11:30). Volunteers get a free photo package per child, per day of volunteering. These volunteer spots usually fill quickly. Please e-mail bradleymart@att.net to sign up. Here is the schedule.

Dr. Sherry would like to to remind families that many of our students have food allergies and in some cases severe food allergies. When you are bringing food and snacks to school please be mindful of allergies in the classrooms and we encourage parents to be familiar with OUSD’s Healthy Food Polices.

Principal Segura would like to clarify that on weeks when Monday is a Holiday, there will be no morning circle for the week, and any birthdays or other relevant items will be pushed to the Morning Circle the following Monday. This will allow teachers to maximize instructional time during short weeks.
