On 10/31 we will be hosting our annual PTO fundraiser, Race for Ed. Students will be provided with a free t-shirt to wear and they will have the option to wear it to school or put it on at school on Friday, 10/31.
Students will be walking around as part of Race for Ed, but we will not be doing a costume parade. Please keep costumes, costume props, and/or make-up at home. If you have any questions, please feel to reach out to us.
We are still working on the new drop-off and pick up routine. We were asked to consider a few additional items by the city and the bus company. As always, we are committed to doing our due diligence and would rather roll out a new plan later, but more carefully. After all, safety is our main goal :). Thank you for your continued patience.
At Hill-Roberts, we believe that strong literacy skills are the cornerstone of lifelong learning and success. Rather than make homework a chore for families, we keep the focus on independent reading. Although other, smaller assignments are given, reading is the bulk of the homework. Also, since all students read at different paces and levels, time reading (effort) rather than pages of reading is our measure of success. Of course, if homework becomes a chore for you, reach out to us and we are happy to support. Thank you for your support!
