Happy Valentine’s Day, Hill-Roberts Families!
To ensure important information doesn’t get lost over February break, our next Howler family newsletter will be sent on Friday, 2/20/2026.
In the meantime, Grade 4 families should be on the lookout for an email from our Middle School Principals regarding the music survey previously shared. This survey allows you to select your child’s Grade 5 music option for the upcoming school year.
We wish you a wonderful and restful February break and look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, 2/23, when school resumes!
Sincerely,
Dr. Madden

Reminder that tomorrow, February 13th, is a half day of school and dismissal is at 12:25. If your student's afternoon transportation plan is changing, please inform their teacher and the front office.
Good morning families! Today APS will delay its opening by two hours today, Wednesday, 2/11/2026. We have not done this in a while, so I wanted to clarify. This means that HRES' doors will open for students at 10:30am. Dismissal will still be at 3:25pm. Lunch will be served for all. For bus families, this means that your bus pick up times are +2 hours as well. For example, if your bus pick up time is 7:50am (+/-10 mins), it is now 9:50am (+/- 10 mins). Thank you and please be careful on the snow.
Hi Families, Just a reminder for Walkers. Please continue to pull over and park on the right- side of Roy Ave only. While additional space was cleared on the sidewalk leaving Hill-Roberts, this is for Walker safety only, NOT for parking. Further, as a reminder, for family safety, please drive slowly and no 3-point turns anywhere on Roy Ave (even at the end). See map.
Sincerely,
HRES

Hi HRES Families, We still have limited parking spaces on Roy Ave. Our student Pick Up plan from yesterday will be continued until further notice. Ms. O'Boyle (AP) and Dr. Madden will be outside to assist. Here are the directions:
1) Drive down Roy Ave
2) Pull over and park on right-side only
3) Pick Up your student, then continue down Roy Ave to the turnaround (see cones and Ms. O'Boyle).
Please, no 3-point turns as this creates safety issues for families walking back to their cars.
For those receiving this as a text, please check our Facebook post, your e-mail, or your APS Rooms App Notification for a diagram. Thank you for your support and understanding as we balance safety with efficiency.
