Richard Byrne’s silly, interactive story was the perfect book to kick off Mrs. Everett’s Pre-K class’s very first visit to the media center last week!

Join Dr. Kretschmar and our PTO for a special time of conversation and connection.
All families are welcome! We’d love to see you at 8:00 a.m. and hear your thoughts as we continue working together to support our students and school community.

Mrs. Allen’s PreK artists had fun making colorful dot paintings!





Show your Hill City Hawk spirit!
Our P.T.O. is hosting a T-shirt fundraiser, and just look at all the cute designs! Every purchase gives $5 back to our school, so it’s a win-win!


This kindergartner from Mrs. Roper’s class finished her fluency folder and earned a special trip to the Book Vending Machine! Congratulations, Spencer! Keep up the great reading!

We are so proud of you, Lily, and all your hard work. Keep reading!

Tomorrow is a Virtual Day! Here is what you and your students can expect:
Grades K–4: Students will receive paper-based activities covering ELA, Math, and Science/Social Studies sent home on Thursday, September 3rd.
Grades 5–12: Students will log into Canvas to complete one independent assignment per course (designed to take about 20 minutes per class).
All teachers will hold virtual, phone, or email office hours throughout the day to answer questions and offer support. Keep an eye out for direct communications from your child's teachers with specific activity details and their office hour schedules. Thank you for partnering with us in your child's learning!


Splish, splash, takin’ a bath and doin' math!
Mrs. Abbott’s kindergartners read "Ten Pigs: An Epic Bath Adventure" and then put their counting skills to work! They used pigs to fill the “bath” ten frames and write the matching numerals. What a fun way to learn!




Mrs. M., our wonderful lead special education teacher, has been named Teacher of the Month, and Mr. Matthew, one of our outstanding paraprofessionals, is our Staff Member of the Month!
Team Hawk is better because of the dedication and heart you both pour into our school each day.



This kindergartner in Mrs. Tippen’s classroom has mastered his fluency folder—and that is simply amazing! Way to go, Nate! Keep up the great work and enjoy your new Mo Willems book about Pigeon!

Mrs. Susie passed the Hawk to Ashley, recognizing her for stepping into a new position this year and absolutely “rocking it!” She had big shoes to fill, but she's already proven she is ready for the challenges, excited to learn, and eager for the adventure ahead.
Ashley, we appreciate all you do!

“Bad Kitty” is going home with Halo!
This kindergartner in Ms. Jenkins’ class mastered her uppercase and lowercase letters, letter sounds, and numbers 0–20—and earned a visit to the Book Vending Machine! Now she’s ready to begin her kindergarten heart words. Wow, Halo! That’s fabulous!

Floating Letters in the STEM Lab!
Third- and fourth-graders explored buoyancy, insolubility, and density with Mrs. Allison as they discovered the science behind floating letters. Now that is an interesting alphabet soup!




His show, "The Magic in You," reminded us that each of us has magic when we show good character, make positive choices, and treat others with kindness and respect. What a fun and meaningful experience for our students!
