Hillcrest golf kicked off this week. Boys and girls traveled to Eagle Mountain on Tuesday. The boys finished 2nd overall in team and the girls picked up the win for their first matches of the season. On Thursday, the boys and girls both won their team matches and Mason LeCroy earned runner-up medalist for individual performance. This week we had scheduled a match on Tuesday August 22nd but it has been pushed back a week to Tuesday August 29th. We will still travel to Newport on Thursday this week for a match at Newport Country Club.











Attention Parents/guardians:
Coach Durham's (Poughkeepsie) bus route will be running late this morning. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Athletic Physicals will be given tomorrow morning. Athletes must have parent/guardian signature on the History Form that was sent home Monday in order to receive the physical. If you have received a physical from your personal physician, we must have the documentation on file. Please send it to school with your child asap. Tomorrow's physicals are given free of charge by the Strawberry Medical Clinic.

Attention Parents/Guardians: Athletic Physicals will be given Thursday morning, August 17 for grades 7-12 in the High School Building. Required paper work that must be signed and returned has been given to each athlete this morning. One of the documents is the Physical History form. This form must be signed by the parent/guardian before an Athletic Physical will be administered. These papers need to be back by Thursday. If the athlete needs another copy or did not receive one, they can be picked at the High School Office.

The K-2 pick up location, after school, is in between the gymnasium building and the lower elementary building, next the crosswalk. The 3rd-6th pick up location is in the corner of the parking lot closest to the gym. Please stay in your vehicle and stay in the car line. Be patient; especially this first week or so, as we get everything flowing smoothly!

Reminder that Hillcrest's Open House is this evening, Thursday, August 10, 5:00-7:00PM, on all Hillcrest Campuses. We encourage you to use this time to meet your child's teachers, sign the Hillcrest Student Handbook, sign up for Free/Reduced Lunches, and see our facilities. High School students may pick up schedules in the high school building on Hwy 230 (Newtech building). We look forward to seeing everyone this evening. Our Mission at Hillcrest is that "Learning and Growth is required for ALL students."
