There will be two 1st place awards of $100 each, one for grades 9-12 and another for grades 6-8. In addition, there will be an honorable mention award of $50 for both grades 9-12 and 6-8.

New Website Homepage
Hill Top Prep is excited to launch our new website homepage. To kick off the occasion, we are hosting a photo contest, with the winning photos to be featured on the homepage carousel. Submitted photos should revolve around the school and the Hill Top Prep Community. Submit your photos for entry by this Friday, January 14th to Mr. Willis at [email protected].

With the launch of the school's new website this week, we are introducing the School News app by Edlio, an activity feed for consuming alerts, news, and events at Hill Top Prep. It’s a simple way to view the school’s news feeds and calendars. Look for an email with more details that was sent out by Michele Minicozzi.

Transportation Reminder
As we are now into the winter months, here are a few things to remember regarding transportation and school closings. If your child takes school district transportation, please make sure that you pay attention to your individual school district’s instructions. If your district is delayed, your child’s bus will be delayed, if your district is closed, your child will not have transportation to Hill Top. If Hill Top is open and your district is closed, your child’s absence will not be counted as a day out of school. If Hill Top closed due to the weather, you will receive an automated phone call letting you know the status of the day. In addition, you will see the information on our school’s website, and all of the major TV stations will have our school’s name and status on the “crawl” at the bottom of the screen. Our school phone message will have the information as well. Please contact me with any questions at [email protected].

Parents Corner:

The Parents Association Annual Adult Social has been cancelled out of an abundance of caution.
