🌿 Indigenous Peoples’ Day 🌿

Today, we honor and celebrate the histories, cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous peoples and communities. 🪶🌎

Indigenous peoples have shaped our communities and continue to enrich our world through their knowledge, leadership, creativity, and resilience. Today is an opportunity to learn, listen, and recognize the diverse experiences and ongoing contributions of Indigenous communities.

📚 Let’s continue learning, honoring history, and celebrating the voices and stories that make our communities stronger.

Superintendent's Message for October 9, 2026 (Spanish & Mandarin translations link included)

This is a reminder that there is no school for students on Monday, October 12. This is a teacher professional development day.

The New Haven Schools Foundation supports our students and teachers year-round. Each year, the foundation awards hundreds of thousands of dollars in student scholarships and teacher grants for a variety of school-based projects and programs. To do this, they count on donations and fundraising events. The Mutt Strut, taking place on Saturday, October 24, is one of the foundation’s biggest fundraisers and a great way to show your support. The Mutt Strut is a great opportunity to get outside with your canine best friend, enjoy a hearty breakfast, and take part in a variety of pet-friendly activities. The foundation is currently looking for sponsors and vendors and hopes to sell more family and individual tickets. To learn more and register, visit the following link: NHSF Mutt Strut Registration.

Hello Hillview Crest Families! October is here with so many upcoming events. We look forward to seeing you on campus during these events.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. 🧡

New Haven Unified School District is committed to creating schools where every student feels safe, respected, included, and valued. 💙

Preventing bullying is something we can all be part of. Whether it’s speaking up, including others, showing kindness, or reaching out for help, our everyday actions can make a difference.

Let’s work together to build a school community where everyone knows they belong, their voice matters, and they don’t have to face challenges alone.

Be kind. Be an ally. Be part of the solution. 🤝
