Hawk Talk 10/18

Posted October 18, 2024

Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences:

Fall Conferences are on October 24th from 5:00 – 7:30. We look forward to partnering with families to celebrate student academic successes and set Quarter 2 goals for students. On this evening, we need volunteers! We would love to ensure our amazing staff gets dinner on our conference night. We are looking for families to feed our teachers on this day as they will be staying very late after school. 

Please sign up to support our staff with dinner on this night using the following link: Fall Conference Dinner Sign-Up

Grades: 

Quarter 1 grades are now posted in the Parent Portal. Please note that some teachers are experiencing technical glitches and are unable to post grades. If your student has a blank grade this is due to a technical issue that we are working on fixing. Thank you for your patience. 

School Meal Benefits Application

Although school breakfast and lunch are free for all students this year, we still ask that all families complete this application as Hill receives additional funding for all submitted applications. Beyond the budgetary impact of Hill, we want to ensure free meals for all students continue in future years. As of now only about 50% of Hill families have submitted this application, so please help us reach 100%.

Hawk Bucks Store Donations:

This year Hill’s Student Support Team developed a positive behavior incentive system where students earn Hawk Bucks for being on task and eager to learn. Each Friday during lunchtime students can use their Hawk Bucks to ‘buy’ snacks and small toys. We have found that the students love this and are excited to keep earning Hawk Bucks. We are asking for help supplying the Hawk Bucks store. If you are able to donate snacks (small bags of chips, fruit roll-ups, suckers, etc) or small toys (fidgets, handheld analog games, keychains, etc) please drop them to the main office. We are hoping to supply the Hawk Bucks store from community donations for Quarter 2 so any amount of a donation is greatly appreciated!
