Just a reminder that Austin ISD is helping local families keep kids healthy, happy, and fueled for fun by offering free breakfast and lunch at over 30 school locations.
An Update from Principal Drummond 5/23/25
Dear Hill Community, We hope your Memorial Day weekend gets off to a great start here soon. We are sending this out a little early as it is full of last week of school information. There is no school this Monday, 5/26 as it is a staff and student holiday. The last day of school is this Thursday! If you have not yet done so, please ensure you turn in your library books Tuesday to your teacher as the deadline is passed. We will have periodic emails over the summer, but this will be our last scheduled weekly communication for now. It has been a pleasure serving our Hill students for another year. Dillo Cheer as we wrap up the 2024-2025 school year!

We wanted to provide a staffing update as we are approaching summer. At this moment, we have 100% of our teaching staff returning for the fall. Dillo Cheer!
