We are honored and excited to have your children join us at Hillcrest Elementary - The Happiest Place. We have worked hard all summer to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all students and staff.  Every classroom is equipped with PPE and air purifiers. We have daily disinfecting of classrooms and equipment.  All students and staff are required to go through Temperature Screenings. Hillcrest is adhering to the Garvey School District and Department of Public Health guidelines for mitigating the spread of COVID.
