STUDENT SECTION

SCHOOL WISDOM OF THE DAY: We all have the right to make mistakes, but we also have the responsibility for those mistakes. (Radford)

ATTENTION STUDENTS: Beginning Monday, March 31, 2008, students late to period 1 will be subject to Saturday School detention. Saturday School detentions have been assigned randomly throughout the day to periods 2 through 6. We believe that tardies to these periods have decreased. However, tardies to period 1 remain a major issue. You must get to ALL classes on time to avoid Saturday School. (S. Williams)

LANCERS: The Sweeter District Art Show is currently hanging at the South Chula Vista library on 4th and Orange until April 11th. Hilltop has several student participants. It is definitely worth seeing! (Huls)

LANCERS: Come out and watch your 2008 Varsity and JV Softball teams today as they take on Christian HS on our fields at 3:15pm. (Acerrio)

COMING SOON!!! The cafeteria will be starting a nacho bar in the dinning area. More info to come. (McConnell)

FACULTY SECTION

PLC TIDBITS OF THE DAY: In SMART schools: everyone knows what the priorities and expectations are and can align their efforts to achieving them; everyone knows how success is defined, how it will be measured, and when; as a party of the overall strategy, everyone is involved in finding ways to achieve the priorities and collectively learns what is and is not working; and, decisions are well informed and resources are targeted, giving successful new initiatives a far better chance of being sustained and continuously improved over time. (Radford)

FACULTY: Aprenda testing will take place periods 4 and 5 in room 1407 on Tuesday and Wednesday. Teachers and students who are affected have been notified. Please allow those few students who are not in ELD classes to make up any missed work. Thank you. (Lawlor)
