Off-campus permit procedures
Hilltop High School encourages parents to schedule appointments outside the school day. If you need to do so, however, please allow enough time to complete the following:
The office will not accept off-campus requests by phone or by note as Hilltop High School is required to verify the identity and authorization of any person requesting to remove a child from school.
When you arrive to pick up your student, fill out an off-campus slip and provide a picture ID at the Attendance Office. Please note that students will only be released to an individual with picture identification and who is listed as a parent, legal guardian, or emergency contact, and is over the age of 18. Students will not be released to anyone under the age of 18.
In order to minimize the loss of the child’s instructional time, a student will not be called from class until the parent/legal guardian is present in the office. As noted above, this process may take at least 10 to 15 minutes, so please plan accordingly.
Email teachers and give at least a 48-hours for a response.
Do not show up without an appointment. Thanks!
Message from our Nurse
The California Department of Public Health has announced that we will be moving to a symptom-based COVID-19 protocol at all K-12 schools. The CDPH has not yet published new guidance though we are expecting this change to be made soon! For now, we will continue to follow the COVID-19 decision tree protocol that was updated on July 12, 2024. You can access that decision tree by clicking the COVID sticker to the left.
COVID-19 tests and face masks are available in the health office upon student/staff request. Please remember to practice proper hand hygiene, coughing and sneezing etiquette, and general mindfulness if you are feeling unwell.
I am always available as a resource to answer questions and help however I can to support the health of our students, staff, and HTH families!
MEALS FOR STUDENTS...
We are happy to share that the State of California has authorized all school districts to provide two meals per day to students, at no charge.
Students are not required to complete a meal application.
Students who complete the alternative household application, and qualify, may receive additional household benefits, i.e., Cox cable reduction, low testing costs, etc.

Thy guardian is the mountain
Beside the Sil'vry sea;
We love thee alma Mater,
All hail, all hail to thee!
