Students are allowed to enjoy Halloween at Hill by dressing in a school-appropriate costume. This means no masks, no inflatable costumes, no blood, no props, and of course absolutely nothing that represents a weapon. We must be able to see student faces and recognize them immediately. As always, if a student brings anything representing a weapon to school the incident will be taken with utmost severity according to the DPS Discipline Matrix.
Skyhawks will enjoy a fun Spirit Week Nov 4-8! Students voted on the daily themes so we hope everyone gets excited to participate.
The Fall Ball, a Hill student only dance, will be on Thursday, Nov 7 from 6-7:45pm in the Hill gym. Entrance to the dance is $3. Concessions will be available for $1.
Monday: Pajama Day
Tuesday: Cozy Sweater day
Wednesday: Twin Day
Thursday: Futbol vs Football
Thursday: Fall Ball (6pm-7:45pm)
Friday: Flannel Friday
A reminder that students should only bring school-appropriate items to school each day. Any item that does not aid a student with engaging in the learning leads to distractions for self and peers. NO stuffed animals are allowed at school. And, per the Hill Dress Code, no blankets may be brought to school in replacement of a coat or warm clothing. Blankets are not permitted due to DPS health and safety protocols.
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%.
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!
