In addition to welcoming new students and families, I am excited to introduce some new staff members as well. In our Health Office, we will have a new School Nurse, Ms. Francis Liri. In Technology, we will be joined by Ms. Stacy Batallus. We will also be joined by Mr. Ruben Baker-Dekater as a new special education paraprofessional.

All of these staff members bring experience and enthusiasm to the Hillcrest community! ~ Sarah Burstein
