We know that afternoons can be hectic, and we've noticed some safety concerns during family pick-up time, especially with car traffic and parking. We're forming a committee of staff, PTO members, and families to help improve the process for this fall.

Please RSVP here. We will be meeting on the following dates:

• Monday, 8/18 at noon

• Friday, 8/22 at noon

• Monday, 8/25 (time TBD)

Hill-Roberts invites all our incoming Grade 1-4 students to our back to school bash! Students in Grades 1-4 will have the opportunity to meet their new teacher and classmates, tour their new classroom, and enjoy a cold treat and have some fun out by the play ground!

Classroom tours are as follows:

• 1:00-1:15pm | Grade 1

• 1:15-1:30pm | Grade 2

• 1:30-1:45pm | Grade 3

• 1:45-2:00pm | Grade 4

Please plan to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your child's designated grade's visit. Students will line up by teacher's name at the front entrance of the school.

During classroom visits, all guests and siblings are asked to remain outside and are invited to go out back to the playground where they will reunite with their student for some fun!

Summer Readers: Bring your sheets in and receive a prize from the PTO!

We look forward to seeing our incoming Kindergarten students at Kindergarten orientation on September 9th.

Welcome to all of our Kindergarten families! Kindergarten marks the beginning of an amazing journey, full of curiosity and excitement. It's a time when children start to explore new concepts, develop social skills, and discover their interests. As they learn and grow, they take their first steps toward becoming lifelong learners.

Orientation for Kindergarten students is in person and will be on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. Students with last names A-L will be from 9:00-9:45 AM.  Students with last names M-Z will be from 10:00-10:45 AM.

Kindergarten students begin school on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

Note: You will be notified of your Kindergarten student's placement on or before Tuesday, September 8.

Check out what your student will need for the upcoming school year — Kindergarten through Grade 4.

We can’t wait to see everyone soon!

On Sunday, August 31st at 10:00 AM, Capron Park Zoo will unveil two beautiful murals honoring Olivia Knighton, a young member of our community who loved animals and brought joy to those around her. Created by local artist and former student Jennifer Sunday, the murals feature colorful flowers, butterflies, and uplifting words. All families are welcome to attend this special event and enjoy the zoo afterward (regular admission applies).

Completed packets can be turned in at the Back to School Bash to Dr. Beth Dimond, and Mrs. Sherman will collect any turned in after school begins.

Medication for Next Year

Monday 6/9, I sent home the paperwork for next school year's medication with your student. Please check their back packs. In order for the paperwork to be valid for the next school year, please date everything after July 1st, especially doctor’s orders. You can drop off the medication and paperwork on the first day of school, Tuesday, Sept 2nd.  You can also drop it off during the back to school social on Wednesday, August 26th. I will also be putting in several ½ days the week before the start of school and can accept meds then. Please call or email me 1st to set up a good time to drop off meds before the start of school.

Excited to see how much your students change and grow over the summer - See you in August/ September!
