Safety Notice
Please stay clear of the dumpster area in the side lot at all times and especially during arrival and dismissal time. Stopping there for any reason or any amount of time makes it difficult for district transportation to maneuver safely in the area.
Arrival and Dismissal Carline Reminders
To ensure the safety of all students and respect our neighbors, please follow all car line procedures and traffic patterns during arrival and dismissal. Below is a reminder of the traffic pattern for car line for both arrival and dismissal. Please remember:
Treat Hillview as a one way during these times.
Only drop students off or pick up in front of the school at the main entrance.
Keep driveways clear.
Stay in line/do not attempt to pass other vehicles in the car line.
Students exit and enter the vehicle on the passenger side only.
Follow all traffic rules regarding turns and progressing throughout the neighborhood while driving.
Chromebook Reminder
Please remind students in grades 4 & 5 to charge and bring their chromebooks to school daily.
Community Events & Information
Recess Readiness
Recess is an important time of the day. We do our best to get our students outside everyday for play and socialization. We use the chart below to help make decisions about recess on days when necessary. Please be sure your child is dressed for the weather.
Reminders about Attendance
Daily school attendance ensures students receive the full academic & social benefits of their educational program. Regular school attendance is also required by law.
Families are asked to plan vacations on non-school days. In a circumstance when that is not possible, absence for vacation must be requested and approved in advance, or it is coded as unexcused. Excused absences for vacation may not exceed 5 days.
If your child is marked absent, you will receive an automated call to confirm Excused Absences, or a personal phone call from our attendance secretary for Unexcused Absences. This confirms the absence and serves as a reminder to send in a written absence note if you have not already done so.
You can check your child's attendance in HAC. If there are any questions, please call Ms. Scelfo or Mrs. Speakes.
If you need to report a student's absence:
Use the link on the Scenic Attendance website linked here to submit a note to attendance each morning of your child's absence OR
Email scenic.attendance@ssdcougars.org each morning of your child’s absence with the following information:
Parent /Guardian name and phone number reporting the absence
The student’s name, grade, date of absence(s)
The reason for absence. A reason must be provided.
When e-mail is unavailable, absences may be phoned into the Attendance Hotline at 610-938-6610. If a phone call is used to report the absence, a written note or email must be provided within 3 days upon returning to school for the absence to be excused. Here is a link to a form that can be used for written notes.
Absences become Unexcused (UA) if a note is not received within 3 days of the absence or if the reason for absence is not approved for excuse. If your child has three Unexcused Absences (UA), you will receive a letter regarding the absences. Unresolved unexcused absences may result in attendance improvement conferences or truancy proceedings.

Helpful Information
We recognize the importance of celebrating student birthdays, and we love to honor our birthday children by announcing their names on the morning announcements. Our teachers take great pride in making their students feel important on their birthdays as well. If you would like to send in something special to mark your child’s birthday, please send an item for the classroom such as a favorite book (signed and dated by your child) or other trinkets such as pencils, erasers, stickers, and the like. Due to the growing number of allergies and health concerns for our students, we ask that you please do not send in food treats for your child’s birthday.
Invitations for parties or other private events may not be distributed in classrooms, on school buses, or on school property. Your cooperation in this matter is critical to create a supportive atmosphere for each child and not one in which the feelings of any child are placed in jeopardy.
