Hillcrest Elementary School

We will have an Open House for our future kindergarten students this coming Thursday from 4:00-6:00 p.m. We would love to meet our new kiddos and any new families on April 11th! Please see the attached flyer! Go Hawks!

Hawk Families, This Thursday, March 7th, Hillcrest will have a virtual instruction day to allow time for employees and families to travel to Lake Charles for the RHS boys' basketball playoff game. Students will not attend school this day but will be provided an instructional packet to complete at home. Teachers and other employees will be available to answer questions throughout the day via phone and the Remind app. Please let us know how we may assist you with this adjustment. School will still be in session on Friday, March 8th. Go Hawks!

Good evening! A decision has been made to take extra precaution for roadway conditions and to cancel school for Friday, Jan. 19, 2024. Although main roads are mostly clear, there are still some roads that buses are unable to safely drive on at this time. The LPSB Central Office will be open from 8am-4pm. Schools will reopen on Monday, January 22, 2024. We sure miss our little Hawks!

Hawk Families, We have received word that we will remain closed on Thursday, Jan. 18th. This call is due to transportation and buses that may encounter problematic areas on roadways. We will continue to monitor and make a decision for this Friday. Teachers will reach out with additional items that may be completed at home. This day will be a “virtual” day and count toward instructional minutes. Thanks! Hope to see you all soon. 💙💛

Hawk Families, All Lincoln Parish schools will remain closed on Tuesday, Jan. 16, and Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2024. These two school days will be counted as virtual school days, as students will complete the learning packets that were sent home last Friday. As of now, school will resume on Thursday, Jan. 18, with normal hours and operations. We will continue to communicate should anything change. Stay safe and warm! Go Hawks! 💙💛

Hawk Families, Our superintendent has informed us that there is a chance we may be out of school 1-2 days next week due to inclement weather. In anticipation of the need to possibly miss school, your child's teacher is sending a packet of work home for students to complete, if the need for us to be off occurs. A decision has NOT yet been made about closures. We will keep you updated as we gain more information. If you have any specific questions about the work packet, please contact your child's teachers. Also, just a reminder that we are out of school this coming Monday, Jan. 15, in observance of MLK Jr. Day. Go Hawks!
