Welcome Back! We have a full day of classes beginning at 9:05 on Tuesday September 7th, 2010!
Meet the Teacher Night is scheduled for Thursday September 16th, 2010. This is a great opportunity to hear about Hillcrest, see your child’s classroom, meet their teachers, and hear about their courses. The evening begins at 7pm in the Auditorium and will be over by 8:30. We will have a form on this website for you to fill out with your child that will help you navigate your way through the evening. We hope to see you there!
School Council
School Council provides opportunities for parents to meet and bring forward ideas and concerns while gaining greater insight regarding life at Hillcrest. School Council meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month and everyone is welcome! Our first meeting is set for Tuesday September 21st at 7pm in the School Library. See you there!
Communication
Communication is essential to ensuring your child’s success! Please feel free to contact any teacher should you have concerns or questions about the course or your childs progress in their course. Student Services Staff, Resource Staff, Student Success Staff, Department Heads and the Vice Principals and Principal are also wonderful resources to contact should you have concerns or questions. We want to help and we want success for your child!
We often use the electronic board at the front of the school and the schools website found at www.hillcresths.ocdsb.ca to share information. To save paper, many documents will be on our website for your reference so please check frequently.
We also use synervoice which is a system that allows us to record a message and send it home via the telephone. This approach is used to notify you of important events (i.e. Parent-Teacher-Interviews or Report Cards) and will be sent home regularly throughout the year.
School / OC Photo Day
School and OC Photo’s will be taken on September 23rd this year. All students, whether they are purchasing a photo package or not, must have their photo taken. Information regarding photo’s will be sent home to parents shortly.
Exams
It seems like exams are far away, but time will pass quickly and they will be upon us in no time. Please note that the exam schedule can not be modified. Parents are asked to not book appointments during this time. They are also asked not to book vacations or trips of any type as exams can not be rescheduled. Concerns should be directed to the students Vice Principal.
