The Back-to-School Cookout- Celebrating 50 Years
On Friday, September 24, 2021, we hope that you will join us for a Back to School Picnic. This year, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the school, we're making the celebration a little bigger by including alumni, former faculty, trustees and the founding Fisher Family to dedicate Fisher Hall. The general schedule is as follows:
3:30- Faculty/Alumni vs. Soccer Team game on the Soccer Field
4:30- Cookout
The Hill Top Community gathers to kick-off this memorable school year.
5:00- Fisher Hall Dedication
The Fisher Family with Dr. Elissa Fisher will join us as we honor their commitment to Hill Top Prep.
5:30- Dessert Reception
Take some time to reconnect with the Founding Family and other HIll Top Community with a celebratory cake.
Please plan to attend with your whole family – grandparents, friends and alumni are all invited!
If you would like your child to stay after school to watch the soccer game and then meet your child at the cookout, an email giving your student permission must be sent by the morning of 9/24. (This excludes soccer team members). I will then notify afternoon transportation accordingly. All students who will be staying will be attending the soccer game. If we don't receive an email, we will assume that your child should take their regular transportation home.
Attendance Procedure
We will follow the attendance procedure we implemented last year. If there is any change in your child's attendance, please email attendance@hilltopprep.org or call 610-527-3230. We will not be requiring hand-written notes, but do need a parent to either email or call in order to make a change. A change may be a late arrival, early dismissal, or absence in either online or in-person attendance.
