Wednesday, Sep 24, 5:15-6:30pm will be the next Principal Advisory Committee meeting. This committee is open to all current Hill families and we hope you attend! The first meeting will be to provide updates on enrollment, budget, the first month of school, celebrations at Hill, and more. Just like in previous years, each meeting will include a workshop or key focus where we get ideas from the community on solving a Hill challenge or problem of practice through the lens of parents. This quarter, we are asking for parents to give us feedback on our new Fall Conference format! (Conferences will be on the evening of October 9th from 5:30 – 7:3opm)

Did you know that most high schools allow 8th grade students to shadow for a day in order to determine which school is best for them? All 8th grade students will have to complete Round 1 School Choice in December 2025 to select their high school and if your student wants a shadow day you should arrange it with the high school directly.
