We hope you have had a summer of fun and family time! There are only two weeks until our 2023-2024 school year begins on Monday, August 14th. We can’t wait to welcome our students to campus. The purpose of this letter is to give everyone a road map for our Back to School activities. More specificity will come soon as well.

The last day of school is this Thursday! If you have not yet done so, please ensure you turn in your device and/or library books tomorrow 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 an honor serving the Hill Community again this year as the principal. Please ensure your students do Dillo Best reading and outdoor play this summer as we encourage those healthy choices.

We have 9 days of school left! Be on the lookout next weekend for more detailed information on graduation walks that will take place throughout the week. For our 5th grade families, please know all the information you will need will be shared in an upcoming 5th grade newsletter. Reminder: It is required that ALL students turn in any provided Austin ISD devices, hotspots, chargers, and/or cases or bags to their teacher by this Friday, May 19th. If you can bring them earlier to avoid a Friday rush, that is appreciated also as we will take them ASAP! All devices will be disabled as of Thursday, May 25, 2023, at 5 pm.
